LOL! O I hear ya!
Say, just a question, some people experience it, others don't. Any experiences when you were 'dead'?
Nope. Nothing at all for about 6 hours.
Waking up was painful though. Perceived nothing but the breathing and, er, drainage tubes. Coherent enough to fight the overwhelming urge to yank them out. Then noticed my hands were tied in anticipation.
Woke up during another lesser (orthoscopic) heart surgery. Told them it hurt. They didn’t like that.
