Procedures involving the mouth were perceived as oral sex, squeezing a ball to make a vein more accessible as squeezing a penis, chest procedures as breast fondling and groin procedures as vaginal penetration.
WARNING: Squeezing a ball is completely different from squeezing a penis!
And as an fyi for anyone that may be confused: They mean the patient squeezing a rubber ball while their arm is in a tourniquet (the band that goes around the upper arm while blood is drawn).
(But yes, either type of ball is completely different than squeezing a penis. Just goes to show how screwy perception can get while under anesthesia.)
A 2013 study of 200 patients receiving propofol found that men were more likely to remember dreams after anesthesia but women were more likely to remember unpleasant dreams. While dreaming and hallucinations are related experiences, people experiencing hallucinations believe they could plausibly be real.
I suppose that if I lived in a society where I had to question my safety on a regular basis (thought about this last night while going into a remote part of my apt building), I’d be more likely to have / remember troubling dreams.
I’ve been under anesthetic at least 10 times in my life and never dreamed anything, I might as well have been dead.
Shit sounds like an easy excuse for sexual assault.

Sexual assault was literally a common procedure.
I believe this is still legal in multiple states.
