Surgical tech here. We actually had a patient do that to us once. So with general anesthesia it kicks off with a drug called propofol, and once they push that it takes effect FAST. Like, within 10 seconds - you can be talking when they push it and your brain will just turn off mid sentence. “Yeah we took our son to the game last weekend; he’s a big fan of the quaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…” and your completely out. Anestheiologist does one last “Mr Jones? How are you feeling?” to verify you’re actually out, and then you’re getting intubated.
Anyway, this dude had a tolerance to propofol and he went in knowing that, but didn’t tell the anesthesia team. Did basically ^that, trailed off mid sentence, eyes drooped shut. Anesthesiologist did his “Mr. Jones?” spiel and the little bastard’s eyes pop open, looks straight and doc, loudly says “GOT YA!” and then his eyes roll back for real this time and he actually goes under.
Doc about had a heart attack. It was fucking amazing. 10/10
