Cross-post this in your mind
Cross-post this in your mind with the 'most enduring hallucinations' thread.
My tonsils were removed in 1959 when I was 10. Ether was the anesthetic of the day. They put the mask on and I started counting backwards from 100. What I saw "in front of my eyes" was a black and white chess board that began to spiral until I was under. I can still see it; it endures. The smell endures, too. We used ether for something I can't remember in the first MD office I worked in and it was horrible to me, every time. Other people I talked to had the same reaction after it had been their anesthetic in the past.
