Quizplus · Accepted Answer

While under anesthesia, patients are generally unconscious and do not remember specific details of the operation. However, there is evidence to suggest that some patients might retain the gist of comments made during surgery, even if they are not fully aware or able to recall precise details. This phenomenon is attributed to the brain's ability to process some information even under anesthesia, although this is not universally experienced by all patients.
