Before someone questions me, this is a phenomenon that has been documented. https://www.sydney.edu.au/news-opinion/news/2022/05/24/during-general-anaesthesia-1-in-10-people-may-be-conscious-follo.html

Forgive me if this is the wrong place to post; c/mutualaid feels like it would draw attention away from people with more urgent issues, and c/mentalhealth is very inactive and rarely anyone ever sees it.
Not gonna tell you what to do and I don’t want to scare you out of doing it but the only time I had general anesthesia for oral surgery that is basically what happened to me
I woke up during the surgery but couldn’t move anything other than my eyes and I couldn’t hear anything either, plus I was in pretty severe pain
I’m not sure how many minutes it took but eventually one of the doctors saw my eyes moving in my attempt to use them to scream and while I still couldn’t hear I definitely read his lips saying “oh shit” before giving me more anesthesia and putting me back under
