Being put down is a breeze. I've only done it once but it was pretty cool
I was getting my wisdom teeth out and opted for the complete sleep package. I'd had novocaine for a more minor dental surgery and I didn't want to be awake for something this gruesome (did you know they say you can actually hear the "crack" as they yank the tooth? *shudders*).
Anyway I got in the chair and they were attaching all these round things to me and hooked me up with an IV. I remember thinking as she injected me, "Ok, there it is... in a few minutes I'll be completely out." I knew there was no way to fight it but I wanted to have some fun. I was going to try and hold out as long as I could. If I felt drowsiness I was going to fight it with every muscle in my body (knowing full well that it's nearly impossible to resist).
I remember the dentist asking some general questions about my college and career. I knew he was just stalling. It's a common technique for doctors to ask questions to put the patients mind off the drug. Apparently answering questions helps you fall asleep faster
. I remember thinking "heh, he's just doing his little routine of asking questions to get me to fall. Well it won't work on me. I'm fighting this."
...and that was the last thing I remember. What seemed like an instant later, I opened my eyes and I was in a new room and felt numbness in my mouth. It was a little weird because my concept of time was off. I didn't know if I had been out 5 min or 3 hours. My mom assured me I was only out 30 min or so.
And that's all there is to it. No pain, no feeling, not even drowsiness. I'd do it again just for fun if it didn't cost so much
