I often find it quite fascinating how much credence some magicians, of all people, can put in the potential accuracy of such stories.
Woland, in your situation, you are hearing this second hand from a person who heard what another person "remembers" from while they were on drugs. First, there is no way for the patient to know at what point during the procedure they experienced what they experienced. They could have heard many things, including mention of specific names of equipment, while they were going under, or at many points before, or after the time while they were "dead." Also, they may not have heard anything. Maybe they described something and it jived with the equipment in question, or what it does, and the surgeon took that as a hit, and remembers it as them referring directly to the piece. Considering how "specific" people can remember cold readers being, there is not much reason to assume much accuracy in the surgeon's recalling of the patients description of what they remember from while they were drugged. My mother remembers her dentist shrinking down and crawling inside her mouth while she got a cavity filled. Hell, people have described to me things I've supposedly done that bare little to no resemblance to anything in my repertoire, to the point that I can't even imagine what actual effect they DID see me perform. And these people were sober, and AWAKE during the event in question.

I don't know, did I know you would post or did I think someone else would?
