Hello World!
Sorry for my lack of blogging lately, I’ve been quite literally out. I have learned that doctors achieve this state of being out through chemicals that block nerve signals between brain and body, there are different types (local and general) and scientists and doctors still don’t know exactly how it works (!)
The nature of being unconscious also leads people to ask, what is consciousness, and that too, leaves plenty of room for further study. I am grateful for modern medicine (most of the time) and curious to see what our future holds. Maybe you will find the next breakthrough!
Here are some entertaining and educational links in case you want to learn more
