Wide Awake During Surgery 😱

[acesbricks]

That's why, being a doctor is a HUGE responsibility. One wrong or late move, one huge damage or even death.

I'm so sorry for him! That must have been so painful ! Fly high 🕊

His name was Sherman Sizemore, Sizemore began having panic attacks, insomnia, and nightmares. He also believed that people were trying to bury him alive. At 73 years old, he'd never had any psychological issues before the surgery. Tragically, two weeks after the operation, he committed suicide.

I have a failed surgery that causes excruciating pain everyday of my life. I sleep 1-2 hours at a time so I can take my pain medication that only makes a slight difference.

Each morning I wake up feeling very tired and in tears from the pain. My surgeon knows of my dilemma, and he is not able to do the revision himself. I have never even received a “sorry” from him or anyone else involved.

In my situation, my doctor could care less. What’s crazy is, he still gets paid hundreds of thousands for the 8 hour failed surgery, that makes my life a living hell. It just seems so very wrong.

After two years, I have not found a neurosurgeon who can fix his damage. I fly to Mayo this Tuesday, I pray the surgeon I am seeing can do the surgery! Chronic, extreme pain is almost worst than just giving up on life, but my faith keeps me hanging on to His promises.

Can't imagine his psychological pain, I feel sorry for him. As an aspiring doctor these videos make me conscious and aware that the tiniest mistakes on your part can destroy someone's life.

I’ll never understand how ppl can be surgeons definitely one of the most stressful jobs in the world mad respect to all of these brave workers

[YistheRumGon]

I pray for this man’s soul every night. That’s how much this story haunted me.

Before an operation involving my heart, they wheeled me into the operating room and I said "Make sure I'm fully knocked out, I don't wanna be like that one guy that felt everything and couldn't move" The doctors smiled and reassured me, and what felt like 10 seconds actually 3 hours have passed and I woke up! Operation was successful.

That poor guy.

I once woke up in the middle of surgery as the anesthesia wore off, it was so intense my body couldn't process it and I'm sure it made me forget it. I just remember waking up and all I could see were wiggly lines like old TV static, they were so full of tears. I remember hearing the doctors say "hold him down, stay down please" and then passing back out as they gave me more anesthesia....thank God I was 8 and forgot it fast

What you left out, the cotor and nurse gave him an amnesia drug to make him forget he was awake. His body NEVER forgot the trauma which is why he started having severe nughtmares and panic attacks. His body was telling him things in which he couldnt figure out why.


After the suicide the doctors and the nurse were sued for over a million and they lost their licenses

I can imagine the psychological pain he went through and it wounds me that he had succumbed to taking his own life.
I was prescribed for antidepressants that gave me severe symptoms for 3 months straight. I wanted to take my own life not because i wanted to, but because i was in a lot of mental pain that the drugs caused me just after the 2 day use. The thought of suicide didnt scare me before prior to that but now it definitely does. The trauma sticks with a person as bits, it doesnt go away entirely. Peoples minds just learn to cope and he didnt get enough time for that. May he rest in peace🙁

I felt this too. When I was 4 years old, I went to the hospital to remove a hernia. About half way through, I woke up, and tried to scream. I thought I was making noise, but I wasn’t able to move, or do anything to tell them I was awake. For 30 minutes I had to listen to the sound of cry crotch being cut into, and worse, feel every bit of it. The doctors let my parents in after early because they were confused on why I was screaming so violently after the surgery. I’m 15 now, and I still remember how it felt. I don’t blame this man for doing what he did. It’s traumatic beyond what you could imagine, and I thank god everyday that I’m still alive

Edit: please stop saying I’m asking for attention or lying. This is a genuine event that I experienced, and I am traumatized from it. You saying that it didn’t happen hurts me deeply.

That must have been so painful ur in a good place now fly high 😢

[TheSiobhanJackson]

They left one part out. I've heard this story before. They didn't want to get sued, so they gave him a drug to make him forget what happened, and that's what resulted in the nightmares that caused him to end his life.

Deva Shree Ganesha ❤🥹🙏✨the terrible pain of him 😶speechless hats off brother

[Alex-pphk]

It happened to me once, I was in the middle of a surgery and I woke up and felt so much pain it was only for a few minutes since I immediately passed out (thankfully) but I still remember that pain so intense. I can’t imagine the pain that man felt for so long, rest in peace

[shlokesaha]

OMG! That's so painful. I feel really sorry for that guy😢😭. Hope his soul rests in peace.

[Atomic_Thoughts_Official]

Guys he was 73 years old, I mean this was basically a torture to an innocent old man who was already living his life peacefully....they should sue the workers for this big mistake

[TheGreatSmith]

For does who don’t remember: there was a show about this, but the actor was Black. My mom said that show is called Awake or Awakening. 😢
