i think it will make me say a whole bunch of weird and crazy stuff to who ever is with me and they will look at me differently
Oh heck no youāll be knocked deeply out in like 5 seconds. It literally shuts off your consciousness so what you described would be impossibleā¦even if it did cause you to act crazy somehow, the doctors would know it was just a bad medical reaction and would keep you safe until it passed, so not such a bad thing.
Usually when people are scared of anesthesia itās because theyāre scared they wonāt wake up or are allergic and will have a bad reaction so I was surprised to see this variant.
I was very surprised my first time going under anesthesia. I love studying consciousness. But being under anesthesia wasnāt even sleep it was justā¦nothing. They tell you to count down from 5 and you get to 3 and suddenly theyāre telling you to wake up and youāre like what?? But no time passed?? So bizarre.
I have had more than 10 surgeries. I am not afraid of anesthesia. Having said that, there is a drug they sometimes give you along with some forms of anesthesia. It is called Versed. This medication reduces anxiety, reduces inhibition and causes amnesia during the time it is administered. Patients have spoken and said some very interesting things while under the influence of this medication however, there is nothing they (medical professionals) havenāt heard. They have heard it all. They donāt always give this medication though. Sometimes you get general anesthesia and they just put you to sleep.
Uses For Versed
Midazolam is used to produce sleepiness or drowsiness and to relieve anxiety before surgery or certain procedures. Midazolam is also given to produce amnesia (loss of memory) so that the patient will not remember any discomfort or undesirable effects that may occur after a surgery or procedure.
The Drās of that vast nothingness make a sweet pile o tasty bucks controlling your portal to the other side.
Iām lost, lol. Not sure what youāre saying there.
If itās about my surgeries, those took place in āthisā reality sadly. Well, it isnāt all sad. Two of my surgeries were C-sections and I have my beautiful babies because of that.
If you are referring to the scientists ācontrollingā my brain and blocking my memory. I am sure they arenāt poor. Thatās for f**king sure!
Nothing personal about you @47average, I was fascinated by how much they make a year, my exās uncle retired as one.
Then I got to thinking, that of all the important jobs out there that had better pay well enough to keep one happy enough to do a good job,
well,
they do control oneās āportal to the other sideā e.g. the door between life and death.
Congratulations on your 2 beautiful babies, you are sure lucky in my book 
They make you count down from ten. You are out completely before you reach 1.
Thereās a reason why anaesthesiologists are the highest paid physicians: Itās an extremely difficult job. That said, deaths due to anesthesia mistakes have greatly declined over the last 30 years.
Maybe when you wake upā¦some people can be drowsy but I think they kinda expect itā¦the doc that took out my appendix was there when I woke upā¦he asked how I was feelingā¦I looked over at his wristā¦and said better now that I see you didnāt leave your watch or rings in my gutsā¦he loled called me a smartass and said I was good to go to my roomā¦

I love that stuff! I wish you could buy it at walgreens. I had sedation dentistry once. No insurance so I paid cash. It costs double the price but damn,it knocks you out in 3 seconds! They said count back from 100. I got to 98 and then I woke up missing 3 teeth,lol. Mouth full of gauss.
I remember I was seven when I had my first eye surgery and this nice nurse asked me what flavor I wanted so I quickly exclaimed ācherry!" I thought I was getting a sucker or something but they led me into this big, cold room and they said lay down and this dude put a mask over my face and said breathe. It smelled like cherries then I woke up puking my guts out so ever since then the smell of cherries just gag me.
But otherwise gas is good.
