How scary! Your point about communicating such a past experience is a great one. I've thought that I should definitely do the same if/when I ever need anesthesia again. I know little about anesthesia, but my guess is that the anesthesiologist miscalculated the required dose for me. I think she even told me the dose would be adjusted.
Big hugs to you, too, yellow_fleurs!
Honestly, I had to just take an Ativan. I'm sweating and my face is turning red just reading about these.
