It’s really scary how being under anaesthesia is the closest we come to experiencing death

I had an operation two weeks ago on the side of my face and the operation lasted about 8hrs. It was my first time ever having an operation and the experience still freaks me out. Basically based on the fact that it was the closest I ever came to experiencing death.

When we go to sleep for 8hrs every night. Even though we are asleep, we still dream, occasionally, wake up, retain our consciousness, memory. It’s nothing like death.

Being under anaesthesia is nothing like sleep. Before the operation begun the anaesthetic told me to keep clasping my hand and that was it. I woke up again in 8hrs after the operation. But those 8hrs was completely dark. No memory, no dreams, no occasionally waking up. Just complete blackout. It’s basically what will happen when we die.

The only difference between anaesthesia and death is that unlike anaesthesia, death is permanent for eternity. I mean your body is still functioning when under anaesthesia, but it makes no difference to you because as you don’t experience anything.

Don't worry you'll be woken up from your death slumber with eye boogers in front of God as he decides to let you moonwalk to heaven or throw you and your soul into the eternal flames. Let's use our time wisely brother

@Koba St , I didn't dream for years or at least i didn't retain any semblance of visual or audible dreams the moment I regained consciousness. In honesty, if that's all death was with a little pain I probably wouldn't fear it as much as I do.

Anesthesia is supposed to completely black you out so you don't accidentally wake up mid-surgery. I think it's better than the alternative.

Its better than going in to surgery wide awake. Ive had root canals where i felt i was in hell with just a lil nitrous oxide. I couldnt imagin doctors going in on my interal organs without properly getting fukked up
I forget the name but I remember watching this Civil War movie in Jr High or so and this creh had gangrene on his leg so they had to amputate.

It’s not like sleeping, but it ain’t that far off.

Based on experience, it’s much faster than sleep. They told me to count backwards from 10 and before I could get to like 5, I woke up to some family bedside telling me that everything went well.

I don’t even remember the moment of going under, just waking up before I could count the next number.
