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.

I've woken up twice under anesthesia. When I wake up, I'm sort of frantic and they just zap me with more drugs and I pass back out. I honestly don't think it's a big deal and sort of cool I remember a little bit of the process. I'm not like in pain or anything, just awake.
