The only time I've been put under was for my wisdom teeth removal, and I woke up in the middle of surgery. I distinctly remember opening my eyes and seeing blue, I guess they had something over my eyes. I also remember moving my head, but that was around the time I went back under. I woke up with extra stitches in my mouth and not a single person would address what I was saying. In hindsight I should have had my mom hire a lawyer and sued the shit out of them (I was 12, couldn't really do it myself).

All of this to say: fuck anesthesia and anesthesiologists. They're basically playing a guessing game between going to sleep forever and waking up during surgery.
