Presumably you won’t be aware of any of it. Any decent hospital will sedate a rabies patient with enough drugs won’t even know where you are.

See Milwaukee protocol. It did failed to improve outcomes after subsequent testing but they basically put you in a coma which I assume they still do out of compassionate reasons.
