As a compliment to the thread about near death experiences I'd really like hearing people's experiences of losing consciousness under general anesthesia and what's it like coming back.

Also interested of things anesthetists may have noticed about this during their career.

"I think therefore I am" ... does that also mean "I thought therefore I was"? or something like that?

No, theoretically your whole memory could be an illusion.

    Ah right, there's a theory, like "Last Thursdayism" or something.
