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.

    Instantaneous time warp. One moment, I’m relaxing on the table before the procedure. Next moment, I’m being told the procedure’s done.

    It’s like a human SIGSTOP, for all you programmers out there.

      Yeah they put the tube in and I woke up 6 hours later. I was literally turned off and on.
