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.

    That’s weird, did you have to scrub up?

      Yep. Soap, then some kind of chemical steriliser, then paper gown, mask, hat and booties. It was also made clear to me that stepping inside the marked square with the patient at the centre was a big no-no.
