      It blows my mind that every second under anesthesia isn’t recorded in HD video by both parties, for liability reasons.

        This shit right here is why people don’t trust the medical community. Nonconsensual vaginal and anal exams are beyond the fucking pale. There is legitimately something wrong with these people.

          No, this shit is largely unknown, and if you read the article it’s also a thing decades past, and punishable by law nowadays.

          The reason why people don’t trust medicine is active misinformation about biG bAd PhArMa and appeal to nature.

                You could not be further from the truth. If anything I have a vendetta against vaccine deniers, homeopaths and other science deniers, who are skeptical of medical institutions for all the wrong reasons, and not for right reasons, like this, which are, as I stated, largely unknown.

                  And Larry Nassar is also unknown?

                  I just mention that one because his was a particularly egregious case. Do you need me to find for you some other well-publicized examples of physicians assaulting people?

                  People in positions of authority have abused their power for countless generations. It’s perfectly normal for people to be suspicious of authority figures.

                  I’m not suspicious of medical science. I’m suspicious of individual humans, who by and large I do not trust for the above reasons.

            In some communities there is a distrust because the government, under the guise of medicine, performed human testing without even informing the patients/victims of what was going on, or outright lying to them.

            True but I wouldn’t say largely unknown. Depends on what community you come from

    Procedures involving the mouth were perceived as oral sex, squeezing a ball to make a vein more accessible as squeezing a penis, chest procedures as breast fondling and groin procedures as vaginal penetration.

    WARNING: Squeezing a ball is completely different from squeezing a penis!

      And as an fyi for anyone that may be confused: They mean the patient squeezing a rubber ball while their arm is in a tourniquet (the band that goes around the upper arm while blood is drawn).

      (But yes, either type of ball is completely different than squeezing a penis. Just goes to show how screwy perception can get while under anesthesia.)

    A 2013 study of 200 patients receiving propofol found that men were more likely to remember dreams after anesthesia but women were more likely to remember unpleasant dreams. While dreaming and hallucinations are related experiences, people experiencing hallucinations believe they could plausibly be real.

    I suppose that if I lived in a society where I had to question my safety on a regular basis (thought about this last night while going into a remote part of my apt building), I’d be more likely to have / remember troubling dreams.

    I’ve been under anesthetic at least 10 times in my life and never dreamed anything, I might as well have been dead.
