I found that having a general anaesthetic was a very sobering experience. My consciousness was snuffed out, just like that. No dreams, no sense of elapsed time on wakening, no nothing - I simply ceased to exist for the time I was out. I have no doubt whatsoever that when I take my last breath, it will be just the same, except that I will never wake up again.
If you believe in an 'afterlife', and have experienced a general anaesthetic, did it leave any lasting impression on you? Did it perhaps give you pause for thought? Did it perhaps leave you with a dawning realisation that death is, indeed, simply the end of you? In my opinion, if it didn't, then it jolly well ought to.
