I had an operation that required general anesthetic in October 2021. Going under the effect of the general anesthetic was an extremely pleasant and interesting experience. I spent a moment or two observing the proceedings from about 20 ft away from about 8 ft off the ground. There I was, lying there, three people about to work on me, waiting for me to become unconscious. I remember they had asked me to pray so that they could hear when my voice petered out. I got mixed up somewhere in the middle of my slow motion Hail Mary. General anesthetic. Very pleasant. I wish I could get a little bit of it as a pill that didn't knock me out completely so that I could use it for listening to the Grateful Dead playing second set jams of an evening.
