My niece, a highly trained anesthesiologist, once mentioned that, among the cocktail of medications she uses to 'put someone out', is one which is specifically designed to make the patient forget whatever they experienced. So I wonder [I never thought to ask] what would happen if that particular medication was left out? How much, if any, of what we experienced while 'under' would we recall? I presume there must have been such instances early on, which inspired the development and use of this particular medication. Something else to throw into the cauldron of this question.
