HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART

General anesthesia does not just lull you into a deep, peaceful sleep; it completely interrupts neural pathways to plunge you into a reversible, drug-induced coma. Your brain goes entirely offline, completely unaware of time, pain, or the fact that someone is currently rearranging your organs.
