For example, I woke up, disoriented. Attempted to sit up. Felt my chest hit something, and multiple people grab me. Thought “Oh, that’s the fluoroscope. I’m having surgery. I should stop struggling.” Then, some time later, I woke up again, thumped my chest on the fluoroscope again, felt people grab me again, thought “Oh, no, I’ve woken up again.”
Must really be awful for the poor bastards that are aware but can’t move. I’m comforted by the knowledge I’m getting the gas in a moment.
Fun fact for those still reading:
It’s not really like “I forgot what happened”, it’s more like “I never remembered in the first place”; consider a PlayStation without a memory card.
Aka anterograde amnesia, not filing things into long-term memory.
So no saving to disk, got it.
Experiences vary, though.

I’d argue you had a bad anaesthesiologist
It’s not the only time that’s happened. I require abnormal amount of anesthetics.
Should’ve strapped you the first time.
