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.

It's like you close your eyes, and then 5 seconds later you open them and hours have passed. Nothing too weird happened, although I was a kid and so excited I remember them having to tell me to calm down and go to "sleep".

That's what it was like for me. However when I "woke up", my wife was in the room next to me and I was already sitting upright on the bed, dressed and shoes on. Apparently I had been awake for about a half hour and we both had a conversation with the doctor about how things went. I remembered none of it.
