Fears and PhobiasI'll level with you. I'm really freaked out by loose buttons. I'm fine while they're doing their job, but once they're free the evil bastards are a major threat to my life. Tell us what spooks you, and how you cope. Also: church bells, doner kebab salads, death.

I have had general anaesthetic many times in my life.I have a tremendous fear of waking up while the operation is still going on, but being unable to move or cry out. Three times I have been anaesthetised AND had paralysing agents pumped in to me so I couldn't move during surgery.
The idea that I could have been awake and unable to scream while they hacked at my spine is giving me cold sweats even now.

The last time I had general anaesthetic I woke up to somebody sewing up my eyeball(It's all part of the plan, you apparently have to be conscious when they do it, but it's a bit of a groggy shock to see the needle coming right for you while you don't really know what's going on).

Stupid questionI have been asked many stupid questions in my life. But one of the best was when I had to have surgery on my penis. They asked if I wanted a general anaesthetic, or would I prefer to stay awake during the procedure?
Yes, there's nothing I look forward to more than watching someone heading towards my todger with a sharp knife.

I had a vasectomyunder local anesthetic, the radio went "pzzzzzztttt" when the tubes were being cauterized.
I did not go back to work that same day.
