Had general anesthesia as a kid/pre-teen. Broke my nose, went to the hospital, doctor didn't want me to be awake when fixing it.

Felt very sick and disorientated afterwards. Had swallowed what I at the time perceived to be a lot of blood, which I vomited for one or two days. Couldn't eat, tasted the ice cream twice.

Pretty sure my nose could've been pulled into place without general anesthesia, but maybe that would've been scary too.
