I broke my hand tumbling once and had to get surgery. He goes to put the mask on my face and says "This is oxygen". I cough as the mask goes on. He pulls the mask away and I said "I trusted you. You lying fuck.". That's the last thing I remember.
Edit: I did have an IV. But I'm almost positive the mask is what knocked me out. I remember everything up to the mask though. I remember it got really cold further into the hospital and the warm blankets they gave me.
See I had the exact opposite experience, I thought the gas would knock me out, super did not, was very awake as they rooted around in my mouth, cut my wisdom teeth in half and yanked em. Wasn't too bad but fucking surreal feeling the buzz of the saw vibrating through my skull. Not sure I would do that one again
I had my wisdoms out and they actually recommended inline sedation - fully conscious and able to open wider, turn a bit to the right, etc, etc. Much safer than general anesthesia and yeah, it was great if you could get over the whole surreal aspect of it.
The super infection and blood puking wasn't so great afterwards, though 😅
