Have you ever been under general anesthesia? What was it like? Did anything strange happen? (sopuli.xyz)

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.

I'm kind of sad that I never got to experience that, to be honest. I only had two wisdom teeth- 1 on the top left and 1 on the bottom right. The right was set to be impacted, but apparently it hadn't grown any roots, yet (I was 17 or 18) so they decided it just get it out with a local. It was... unpleasant. The top left one has never come through, either, so I may well not have bothered 😓

Haha don't have FOMO for surgery, mate. A life lived without it is a good one.

They can still wreak havoc on your teeth even if they don't come down. They tend to migrate and move and that can mess up your bite. So not likely now presuming you're older but it's a chance when you're younger and still growing etc.

Yeah I'm 30, now. I presume they're just chilling, lol. Has anyone's come down after that point, do you think?

Not that I saw when I worked there. My impacted wisdoms only became an issue in my 30s though, so who knows?!
