It's still an incredibly scary thing. The chances of survival would be extremely high nowadays, but I would still be incredibly nervous as I went under.
I've only been through one surgery and I was knocked out after a shot, and the last thing I remember was thinking "this shot didn't work, I'm about to be awake during my surgery." The next thing I knew, it was done and I was waking up, and I had no idea. I never remembered the falling asleep itself. I just woke up and it felt like the blink of an eye.
On my heart situation, I almost called 911, but I was worried I wouldn't be able to afford the $1K or so it is to get the ambulance ride. Insurance has ridiculously high deductables, so basically I would have been screwed. So lucky it turned out to be nothing serious.
