The hospital ward, operations and anaesthetic, sentence 3

The rules that seem odd have good reasons: no food beforehand so nothing can come up into the lungs, numbing cream so the needle hurts less, and a form signed so everyone agrees what will happen.

Who acts: rules, food, needle, form · What happens: seem, have, come up, numb, hurt, sign · To what, where: good reasons, lungs, cream, form · Speech: someone speaks here

The tree: Mova annot: Rust (en) → Haiku 5.5 (medium, Batches API) patches; gates UD 2.18; agreed by treeagree rules (Stanza, Trankit, spaCy trf): R5-strong ×1, R7-rel-agree ×2. The frames are read from the tree by Mova's frames reader (prag) when this page is built, the lesson read in order, so a pronoun may be resolved from an earlier sentence.
