What Happens if You Wake Up in the Middle of Surgery? #shorts #surgery

It's fine, if you wake up, just go back to sleep. It's as simple as that

The image of a man coming into the hospital with his LITERAL INTESTINES in a bag is metal as hell.

“Hey, why are you carrying a LuLuLemon bag?”
this man: *intestines*

Apparently my father has woken up and he says "I can feel that"
And the doctor supposedly said "no you don't" and they pumped him up with more anesthesia.

Idk, he could be lying.

I woke up during a tonsillectomy and it was very painful. I remember seeing blood and the surgeon made eye contact with me as he said, "uhhhuhhmmm she's awake." Kinda traumatic for an 8 yr old.

A lot of people might have missed that "Just kidding" dialogue box at the end. And I'm laughing imagining it 🤣

I actually have woken up during a procedure before and started talking. They told me to stop talking and gave me more anesthesia so I fell back asleep.

I'd just wake up and grab a brush and put a little make-up.

"What happens if you wake up in the middle of surgery?"
Well the anaesthesiologist starts looking for a new career for a start

The amount of pathogens and dust that would enter a person’s body in such a scenario is just horrifying to think about…

My brother in law woke up during gall bladder surgery a long time ago, before laparoscopic surgery. He raised his head and watched as they were removing things from his abdomen. He said they were talking non-surgery talk. They noticed he was awake and suddenly he went back to sleep. Afterwards he told them he remembered waking up during the surgery, but they played it down and basically ignored him.

It actually happens quite a lot. Most of the time, the patient doesn’t even remember. We just adjust the anesthesia and they are back out. Fortunately, they don’t typically wake up panicked or in pain because of the sheer amount of drugs coursing through their systems, they are mostly confused and think they are dreaming.

A friend of mine woke up while having surgery on his arm. He propped himself up on his other arm, watching the surgeon work. After a while, the surgeon noticed and screamed bloody murder at the anesthesiologist to knock him out. True story! He had warned them ahead of time that he was drug resistant but they didn’t listen.

This actually happened to my grandmother. She was unable to say anything either and they kept working on her like nothing was wrong. It’s a huge fear of mine.

[butteredtoast]

Real shit though, if I was to wake up in a situation like that all I’d hope for is that I either can’t feel anything going on or at least be able to inform them that I can feel what’s going on and not be paralyzed in the situation cuz I’ve heard of that happening too and they felt everything 😭

I woke up while they were taking out my appendix. As soon as I heard the surgeon say "We're done! Sew her up." I passed out again 👍🏼

“Carrying his intestines in a Lulu Lemon bag”

I woke up during GI surgery to hear everyone in the room discussing the NBA playoffs. I tried to chime in but could only make gurgling noises because I was intubated. The room went silent and I was out like a light in about 2 seconds.
I asked the surgeon about it in post op and he just laughed and changed the subject.

It happened to me during my wisdom teeth removal. I remembered opening my eyes a little and seeing them blurry. They saw that I was waking up and they said "it's okay Justina, we're going back to sleep now". Felt no pain, and I was really happy I didn't, glad I didn't freak out either. They were really nice. Anesthesia wears off at certain times depending on the dose.

[mikewheeler]

God this is terrifying. I woke up getting my wisdom teeth out and that was scary, so I can’t imagine this-
