My first time I remember the anesthesiologist asking me to count backwards from 100. I assumed the process would take 30 to 60 seconds. I don't think I even hit 97..

Yeah, mine was count down from ten. Made it to eight, then I was in a different room and an hour had passed. Closest thing to time travel.
On (In?) my last surgery they did the "make sure to remember what you dream" spiel on me. I dreamt I was having a surgery. After the surgery no one came to ask me what I've dreamt, it left me feeling quite a bit disappointed.
Yeah, people think they can "fight" it, but you can't. That stuff will knock you out. The counting is just so they know when you're out.
It’s generally very quick, but I suppose not perfect as on one occasion, they had to give me some additional kind of injection because for some reason, I was still awake. The guy doing it seemed confused.
With whatever he did additionally, as he did it he goes:
“Let’s try this again, start counting back from 10”
I might have made it to 9 the second time around.
Does this mean they messed up the dosage or something? I’ve had the same guy since and it’s never happened again.
It's possible he messed up the dosage. What he gave you wasn't good anymore. Or something else I'm not even thinking of.
The fact that he gave you something else that time, and that you've never had that experience again would make me believe he thought it was a fault in the product he initially gave you.

Humans react differently or have different tolerances, for example my teeth are very sensitive to pain and I needed extra adrenaline to fully numb it, even though I don't take drugs or have anything indicating that this would be necessary.
