I am going to need general anesthesia for a surgery, and am unfortunately aware of the fact that a significant percentage of people experience pain and conscious paralysis under it. What do I do? (hexbear.net)

Before someone questions me, this is a phenomenon that has been documented. https://www.sydney.edu.au/news-opinion/news/2022/05/24/during-general-anaesthesia-1-in-10-people-may-be-conscious-follo.html

Forgive me if this is the wrong place to post; c/mutualaid feels like it would draw attention away from people with more urgent issues, and c/mentalhealth is very inactive and rarely anyone ever sees it.

Comrade, I had one in 2019. Mostly just felt uncomfortable tugging. At one point I felt closer to a pinch, told the doc, and he punched up the local.

Get some frozen peas and a video game. I played GoW 2014 and it was a blast.

That's what I read it feels like too. I'm not so much scared about during but the build up and just the act of going through it. I'm not a fan of needles at all and try to avoid the doctor if I can. I'm gonna do it though.

I got movies a a whole lot of weed planned for the long weekend.
