Been under 3 times. I think anesthesia is fucking awesome, it’s literally time travel.
Need me under for 1 hour? 3 hours? I’ll never know the difference. Will I wake up feeling like I’ve been mauled by a bear? Maybe. But I skipped the mauling part.
If there was an airline that would put me under for 9 hours of a 12 hour flight, I would gladly pay extra. Stack me in like cord wood, I’ll never know.
This is what sleeping after smoking weed for years feels like. You just fall asleep and wake up like nothing happened. Almost never dream anymore, which can be a blessing for people who have night terrors.
Thats the thing people that have never gone under or fainted cant conceptualize…its not like falling asleep, its a literal off button.
Ive fainted a few times in my life, as well as been put under, and its like one second youre doing thing, next second youre on the floor, and the funniest part is, at least for me, when I came to after fainting, I felt like I slept for 12 hours…like rested in a way that I never feel waking up from normal sleep.
The only time I’ve been put under was for my wisdom teeth removal, and I woke up in the middle of surgery. I distinctly remember opening my eyes and seeing blue, I guess they had something over my eyes. I also remember moving my head, but that was around the time I went back under. I woke up with extra stitches in my mouth and not a single person would address what I was saying. In hindsight I should have had my mom hire a lawyer and sued the shit out of them (I was 12, couldn’t really do it myself).
All of this to say: fuck anesthesia and anesthesiologists. They’re basically playing a guessing game between going to sleep forever and waking up during surgery.

This thought process is basically what killed Michael Jackson
Except when I’m getting a colon cancer screening, I’m also not trying to perform 90 minutes of singing and dancing on front of 50,000 people.

I quit years ago because I was going to school for aerospace engineering and knew I’d need a security clearance at some point
Years of bottled up dreams rising to the surface all at once was WILD
