This is why you should always ask if your surgeon will be using something called a _BIS monitor_ during the procedure. This is a device that measures brain activity and can alert the doctors if the patient regains consciousness.

Phil thinking I once had something stuck in my throat I also tried to spit it out but I couldn't.

I know this guy personally when i lived in Bradford as a teenager.
Not the person I would give sympathy for to put it nicely.

God works in mysterious ways, glad to see the PoS suffered for the things he did

I'd sue the NHS if that happened to me....

They could monitor brain activity with sensors and AI.
Using pre installed words like pain/help/stop.
If the patient think of those words at any point. It would trigger particular zones in the brain. Then AI will warn about awakenes.

I don’t blame the doctors there doing there best mistakes happened but that is the worst one to happen it’s scary but better than dying that’s for sure
