I don't think this will get answered, since I'm pretty late, but here's to hoping!
I have a phobia of being unconscious. Sometimes just trying to fall asleep gives me massive anxiety. (Thanks, trauma!)
I need to get some procedures done that require general anesthesia, and I keep putting them off because I'm absolutely terrified. I've explained to my doctors that I'm afraid of going under, and I never seem to be taken seriously.
Is this something you've ever seen in someone before? If so, how would this be managed to make the patient comfortable?
