i was listening to like radiolab or something on npr and apparently your brain is actually still doing all of it's normal brain-things when you're under, it's just that the different parts of your brain can't communicate with each other

tbh i don't know if that makes it more or less freaky but it was interesting. like you're still actually feeling all of that poo poo, but since your nerves can't tell your brain "hey this loving hurts" you just don't know it at all

brains are cool as gently caress and also kind of terrifying in and of themselves

i took laughing gas one time for a minor oral surgery. I distinctly remember seeing images that reminded me of specific graphic distortions, like when you lagged out on a counterstrike server and everything kind of blended into itself. I remember having clear thoughts about death and dying — like, philosophically. I was chilled out, no big deal.

my brother got the same thing for a similar procedure. He describes remembering the exact same things — about death and the counterstrike thing. Apparently he screamed and resisted the doctors the whole time :science: the doctors told him to report that he shouldn't take laughing gas in the future

apparently i woke up during surgery once and started screaming in horror but they got me back under real quick and i have no memory of it

the one thing that freaks me out about anesthesia is that i know that there's a one-in-a-hundred-million chance that i'll be incapacitated but not fully under and experience the whole goddamn thing

then again i guess after you go through something like that it would probably be difficult to be bothered by almost any other kind of pain

Dogs, on the other hand, can connect with that pathos.
the amnesia part of some anesthesia always bothers me. the idea of losing part of your memory. luckily i've never had surgery and the hospital keeps calling me a "financial risk" and to "please stop bleeding on our floors" so i'm good

you lose parts of your memory literally constantly because your brain doesnt consider most of what you do worth remembering

all these anecdotes are making me feel super great and thrilled about future surgical procedures considering I'm pale and blue-eyed which apparently means I have a high tolerance for anesthesia

though tbh the pain never bothered me it was always the loss of consciousness with the chance of not ever getting it back

last time i had general anaesthesia it was fine and i didn't even wake up nauseous, but i had bad post-op depression for a while after and it really sucked :smith:

so hey if you gotta go under, make sure you're aware of the possibility of it and have a plan for how you're gonna deal with it if it happens (e.g. someone to check in with you every so often, numbers for therapists)

i always thought that was interesting. people think your brain is recording life like a camera with frame after frame in a big jello mold but it's so much more fluid. just a few imp bits and it's all simulated when you recall it. it's a daydream. you can't trust any memory

the better question is how much do you drink since alcohol tolerance is related to tolerating most of what they use


also benedryl + dilauded is truly Ultimate Pleasure Drug. it’s the highest you can possibly be, it owns
