This topic always makes me feel a strange nostalgia for being operated on

"Being put under general anaesthetic is like being abducted by aliens. That bit where they tell you to count backwards from ten? I always think I'm going to make it to zero, like 'Ha! Your meagre anaesthetic cannot defeat me.' But I conk out at about six. Then, time totally contracts. You wake up a couple of hours later and the nurse is like, 'It's done. Now put your clothes back on.'"
