I don't think they asked me to count down either the last time I was put under. But then again I was slightly preoccupied by the ice cold bucket of liquid fire that spread through my veins. Apparently that's what a small fraction of people experience with the stuff they used. Would have been nice to get a warning tho.

Haha yeah, that was my experience. "So how are you feeling?" "Yeah, I can feel the juice spreading through my system like I'm on fire. It's pretty painful" and then I'm out.
That whole experience was a radical way to confirm my pain tolerance seems to be above average so I ain't complaining, though. It's a nice change from when I was a kid and having panic attacks at the thought of needles.

I can feel the liquid spreading through my veins - specifically my chest - but it doesn't feel painful. Rather it feels pleasantly cold like drinking a fresh glass of water. I'm sorry your experience was less pleasant.

Very much the same.
