What is the scariest thing about anesthesia?

I have had several surgeries and going under one always wonders if you will wake up. After waking up it is the nausea that comes as a side effect to the anesthesia that you really do not look forward to.

It seems that people are most afraid of "intra-operative awareness", or waking up during the surgery when they should be unconscious. I wrote a hub about intraoperative awareness that should answer a lot of questions. I hope it's not against the rules to post the link here for info.

hubpages.com/hub/Anesthesia-AwarenessIf it is, I'll remove it, but I really just want to help people understand this phenomenon.

I think that the experience of not knowing that you are being cut, bleed, the horrifying thing is when the doctor places the scalpel on the body parts and cuts it wide open.

Not waking up after a major surgery because of overdosage to anaesthesia is really scary... but... waking up in the middle of a surgery is worse... :D.

Thinking about the very fact about anesthesia and falling into deep sleep and someone cutting you open. Also, the catheder is painful.

The pain of surgery with out being able to tell someone your no longer under is pretty darn scary!

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
