下針、倒數，然後……你就醒了。這本書談的就是中間發生的事。 ★馬克與伊維特筆尖文學獎（Mark and Yvette Nib Literary Award）獲獎作品★★《紐約客》、《華爾街日報》、《洛杉磯書評》、《書目》、《出版人週刊》等各大媒體盛讚★ 外科醫師 小劉醫師麻醉醫師靈魂所在的地方粉專版主 主動脈臺灣麻醉護理學會理事長 楊惠如醫生YouTuber 蒼藍鴿YouTuber 醫療CP──推薦 醒來之後一切都會好好的嗎？當麻醉藥讓意識斷開，那短暫消失的感官與自我又要如何尋回呢？解讀人的心理與腦的科學，本書將帶你展開一場醫學與人文交織的意識巡禮。 麻醉，幾乎被視為與外科和牙科手術不可分割的醫療手段，使醫師執行各種駭人的手術時，能夠順利進行。然而，看似應用普遍的麻醉術，不僅發展時間不過短短一百多年，我們對它的理解甚至可能也不夠深刻。當面對醫學如何自由地掌控感官，限制痛覺，甚至暫停意識的問題時，我們真的能準確回答何謂知覺，何謂疼痛，甚至……何謂麻醉嗎？ 是睡著嗎？是遺忘嗎？如同嗑藥嗎？麻醉時會做夢嗎？有聽覺嗎？被麻醉的感覺是什麼？下墜感？還是覺得接近天堂了？無意識的身體還會感受到疼痛嗎？麻醉都是成功的嗎？有多少人曾經在麻醉過程中醒來？醫療儀器能發現他們清醒嗎？醒來之後呢？如同往常？還是好似經歷創傷？那幾分鐘、幾小時的空白呢？自我到哪裡去了？ 由於從小罹患先天性脊椎側彎，作者科爾－亞當斯始終面對「是否該進行全身麻醉脊椎手術？」的艱難抉擇，對麻醉的焦慮也促使她鑽研與麻醉相關的各項研究。本書即是她將焦慮轉化為優美文字的真實筆記，記錄她多年來參與學術論壇，訪問醫學專家及患者的收穫。在這些案例中，有人在全身麻醉的剖腹產時意識清醒，經歷好像被卡車來回輾過的巨大疼痛，有些人則在麻醉醒來後報告完全不記得手術中發生的事，卻能在被催眠後一字不差地重複當時醫護人員之間的對話。此外，作者也在其中穿插與她的外科醫師與麻醉醫師的對談，分析自己的不安與恐懼。本書將感性的心靈記事、臨床軼聞與理性的歷史發展、科學研究巧妙地編織在一起，它將帶你抽絲剝繭式地重新理解麻醉，以及更重要的，重新理解與麻醉緊密相連的感官、心理狀態、認知與自我。 ▎國內外推薦 「無比豐富、有深度的精采作品，帶著強烈的好奇心，有時甚至探索能言之事的最邊
