How can it feel to put under anesthesia?

Very Few Know: With modern anesthetics we try and shut down the memory of the patient before they go to the or. Once they can't remember what happened, it is very hard to find out what they felt as they went to sleep. Without sedatives the very medication that is used to put people to sleep blocks memory formation, so we have the same problem. Same with waking up. Patients come to in the pacu after the op.

Feeling anesthesia: One moment you feel completely awake and may even be holding a conversation. The next moment you are waking up and are told that your surgery is over. Some patients say, "wow!, you have got to be kidding!".
