Could you clarify what you mean by 1/20 patients dying? I looked at
http://patient.info/health/anaesthesia-death-or-brain-damage
and it said the risk of death (England and Wales) was 1/100,000 full anesthetics.

Definitely questioning that 1/20 figure, I had full anesthesia with a surgery earlier this year and I'm pretty sure I'd be informed of that kind of risk.
