Another anecdotal data point:
I received full dental replacement implants (the all-on-four style) a couple of years ago. During the procedure, I came out of it enough to remember trying to get "something" out of my mouth that was bothering me, and a nurse literally shouting at me to stop.
My wife was waiting for me and could see down the hallway where my room was. She said that at one point the doctor came out of my room gagging and holding his throat. After a few minutes, he went back in.
Later, we discovered that I fought everyone in the room. I had punched the doctor in the throat, tried to rip my IVs out, etc. The incident I remember (the yelling) was just a part of it all.
I've since read up on anesthesia and the subject is both fascinating and scary ("science with a lot of art mixed in").
