I got a procedure done and they used an anesthesia which I believe is called “Propofol”. It put me out so fast, it felt like I got violently dragged into sleep. Immediately after I saw that white liquid being injected in my vein, I passed out.

It doesn’t put you to sleep right away so much as it hits the “pause” button on your brains ability to record/process sensory information. The result is similar to a blackout episode and eventually the body goes into a more or less suspended animation until it can start processing information again.
However, just like an intense blackout episode, you don’t remember anything that happened between the record button getting paused and when you finally go into that suspended state. So as far as your brain is concerned you were asleep the whole time.
