what happens to me is that I wake up too quickly from the anesthesia because it wears off very quickly; I wake up in recovery as they are wheeling me into recovery and i can tell you every word of the conversation and I am screaming bloody murder in pain. i had surgery this summer and I told the surgeon to please make sure this did not happen to me again as it had happened in the past, and he blew me off, and yet, it happened again, during my surgery this summer. I told him off after i retold him the entire conversation, including first names of all his docs and nurses, to his surprize. i am still reluctant to have general anesthesia.
