In 2015 and 2016 I had surgery for Stage II colon cancer and a resulting surgical hernia. Same experience. Anesthesia was fine; all the pain came after the surgery.
So, after they put you under initially, they could have taken you out and you would never have known right. So, are the prison cocktails designed to cause pain and suffering? I think not.
“Anesthesia was fine; all the pain came after the surgery.”
I can deal with the pain; I have a high threshold. What I can’t deal with is the puking.
