As if my dreams were boring...

I already knew that it happened, but it took tonight's episode of Worst Case Scenario to remind me about the potential that one's anesthetic could fail, leaving one to experience the entirety of one's surgical procedure. In effect, one gets paralyzed and put to sleep, but the pain isn't inhibited. I can say for certain that I would not relish the experience - it sounds like a form of medieval torture. Granted I may have a momentary fascination with watching myself get cut open, provided I can't feel it, but searing pain is something I can do without.
