    it could’ve been “like” it could’ve been for real! we actually have no idea how exactly anesthesia works, we just found a substance that knocks us out and probably makes it so we can’t feel anything, and we mastered using it, but nobody really knows the exact mechanism of how it works :)

      Do have more information about the mysteries of anesthesia?

      I really enjoyed the non-experience of it, at east the two times I had it in the 2020s. I’ve had it once before in the 80s but that involved a lot of puking and feeling weird and miserable.

      Not sure if the technology has advanced or I had better anesthesiologist or it’s harder to get it right with children or a combination of these factors.

        not really! the wikipedia page is a good source information about what we know about it, for the unknowns looking around online for like “how does anesthesia work exactly” leads you to experts just going “idk, but it does work so”
