General Anesthesia

I’m going under general for the first time in two weeks for a brain biopsy.

Explain it and how it’s safe.

I’m not scared of the biopsy, just the general.

Is that normal?

I had recently gone under and truth be told, I was scared witless. The doctors could tell and made a point of lightening up the mood a bit, which I really appreciated. All people involved were very gentle and truth be told, the anticipation leading up to it was the worst part. Then its a light jab in the wrist whilst making conversation with the doctor. The doctor even reassured me that he has done the procedure thousands of times. After a while, they just told me “good night” and i was off in like 3 seconds afterwards. It was painless, just a pleasantly warm feeling spreading thoughout my body. After that, its like a teleport, you wake up thinking you fell asleep a second ago, you dont have the normal sensation of time passing that you do when asleep, I found that pretty funny.
