If someone got shot but they were an anesthesia, would it still hurt?

If they were under: General anesthesia that was effective - i guess it wouldn't hurt. Where did this scenario come from?

I think you are : Asking... If you get an injection with an anesthetic in it, will the injection still hurt? The answer is yes, the shot has to get the anesthetic into your body to work. After the injection, the anesthetic takes effect.... But you have to get past the "shot" first.

No,: if you have anesthesia it will not hurt, that is the main purpose of anesthesia

Sort of: Under anesthesia, the brain still receives the pain "message", but it is not brought to your attention, so to speak. The body will react in other ways to the painful stimulus (being shot), that are usually easily measured and can be treated accordingly.
