Have you ever been under general anesthesia? What was it like? Did anything strange happen?
Have you ever been under general anesthesia? What was it like? Did anything strange happen?
As a compliment to the thread about near death experiences I'd really like hearing people's experiences of losing consciousness under general anesthesia and what's it like coming back.
Also interested of things anesthetists may have noticed about this during their career.
You're viewing a single thread.
Yes, a few times. Each time I went from feeling awake and alert to suddenly being somewhere else and feeling groggy and hungry. Nothing strange otherwise.
Yeah exactly that. Anesthesiaologost said countdown from 10, got to seven both times them woke up hours later back in the ward.
I remember being a cheeky kid at the time and asking "what if I hit zero?", the anesthesiologist told me "okay, count from 100"... Yeah I didn't make it past 97....
Yeah, I've had general liquid anaesthetic for two different surgeries, almost made it to six once. You're probably a mutant if you get all the way to four lol
I didn’t even began to count! I was asking what kind of drug they were using, I remember the nurse saying it was not opioid and then black! The strangest thing for me is that you fall asleep suddenly and abruptly so is different from a normal sleep
When I woke up I was like “oh I’m sorry, I must have fallen asleep.” The nurse just laughed then it hit me, I was supposed to fall asleep. Lol
