What stage of sleep are you in under anesthesia, and why does it feel like no time has passed?
In: Biology
I had hip replacement surgery recently. The anesthesiologist said they would be using a spinal block and bringing me in and out. Little did I know this would mean that I would become conscious during the procedure. At the beginning they placed something in between my legs, butted right up to my crotch. I felt them placing it and asked if they had put a chastity belt on me. Apparently the medical profession doesn’t share my sense of humour as someone rattled off the name of the device and then I was immediately knocked out. I wasn’t able to speak again but I was conscious a couple more times and could hear suction and felt the Dr. pounding the new hip into my bone. This type of thing happened during one of my C-sections too. Fun times.
