I am going to need general anesthesia for a surgery, and am unfortunately aware of the fact that a significant percentage of people experience pain and conscious paralysis under it. What do I do?

Thanks! It’s hard to reply to everyone who’s nice given how many there are, but hopefully those who see this message know I appreciate it a lot!

I do think the rare incidences are a general failing of health care systems. Even if they were common I would be pro-anesthesia, just with the caveat that capitalism has utterly destroyed our health care infrastructure to the point that things like this happen.
