Have you ever thought about being put under anesthesia, yet being awake?

I think I read that in most cases, they don’t feel pain, just remember glimpses of the procedure. In the event they do feel pain, the patient will begin to sweat. Can’t remember if the heart rate escalates or not 🤔

I thing I've been through that a few times. interesting experience.

A few times with eye surgery where I could hear and understand all the conversation of the doctors and staff, yet just a glow in the eye they were working on. I kept telling myself that I hope that I wouldn't blink or roll my eye, yet thinking I was probably unable to do so if I tried. One operation took a few hours and the surgeon was instructing another doctor on how to do it. The conversation was enlightening and interesting.

Also a half dozen colonoscopies where I went in and out of awareness during the procedure. A few time was able to see the TV screen and what they were doing. Also once for an angiogram and another time a septoplasty procedure.

Thanks for asking ... gave me an opportunity to count them off. Hope I didn't miss any :)

Considering the hundreds of thousands that go under every year, 30k is a small number.

Some people are prone to the phenomenon.

Some surgeries have statistically higher chance of awareness occuring during them.

Some cases have awareness reported because it was life saving for the time being, as anaesthetic drugs can dramatically dampen vitals

Very scary thought

I was worried about that. I’d heard about it a few weeks before I was scheduled to have surgery in 2021. But it didn’t happen to me
I cannot fathom how horrible it would be!!

A friend of mine woke up very briefly during knee surgery. It was very quick (they had him back under in a second) but also very terrifying.

I have a theory about this and i think they lied to the angithesioligist about their weight .. they should weigh the people and not take their word for it

Never and Im glad that didnt happen both times i was under😟

Depending on what they are doing, I'd rather stay asleep.

The pain killers not working so you feel everything, but the muscle relaxers being effective so you can't scream or even twitch while people cut your body open... That has to be one of the most traumatizing events a person can endure.

Oh god

Films aren’t always true.

What’s the movie??
