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.

    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
