Grammar
to be under (is it correct)
I've heard "The doctors are going to put her under."
Is this short for ... put her under anesthesia" or is it an idiom?
Can you correct?
You never really know what the surgeon does to you while you are under [anesthesia].
Which is natural?
I've been under [anesthesia] twice in the past week. I have had general anesthesia twice in the past week. I've gotten operated on twice in the past week.
