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.
yeah, found out im going to be under twilight anesthesia which is a big relief given this whole thing. but even if it was general i’ve been increasingly getting the vibe that the horrific stories people have reported are a result of careless doctors and nurses, and even if it was something that happened regularly and not just as a result of both incompetence on the part of the doctors and resistance on the part of the patient, it would be pretty easy to point towards it just being another aspect of a dangerously careless and profit driven health care system.
