Procedures involving the mouth were perceived as oral sex, squeezing a ball to make a vein more accessible as squeezing a penis, chest procedures as breast fondling and groin procedures as vaginal penetration.

WARNING: Squeezing a ball is completely different from squeezing a penis!

And as an fyi for anyone that may be confused: They mean the patient squeezing a rubber ball while their arm is in a tourniquet (the band that goes around the upper arm while blood is drawn).

(But yes, either type of ball is completely different than squeezing a penis. Just goes to show how screwy perception can get while under anesthesia.)
