Have you ever been under general anesthesia? What was it like? Did anything strange happen?

3 years ago by Thorny_Thicket to c/asklemmy

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.

Got propofol for a colonoscopy and it was like taking an amazing nap. One moment I'm talking to the doctor, the next I'm waking up in recovery a little groggy but feeling refreshed.
