I woke up while i was getting my wisdom teeth out. it was kinda scary cause they were using a chisel to break my teeth so that they could get them out of my jaw. But The hygenist noticed i was awake and they gave more anesthetic.
It really isn't that commen, so it isn't really something you need to worry about.

I haven't personally but people do, just to clarify. Sometimes anesthesiologists misjudge the amount of anesthetic and give too little to a patient (rarely). If you've ever watched the Discovery Health Channel, they have a show on there that is stories of people who have woken up...I don't know when they last showed it. They tell of it being extremely frightening because they couldn't move or talk or tell the doctor what was going on, and they could feel it. Once again: this is extremely rare.
Machines are in the process of being developed that track the conciousness of a patient to make sure that they are out during surgical procedures.

People don't wake up in operations, that's on TV. The anesthesiologist's job is to make sure this doesn't happen. Sometimes people start talking and then a little more drug is given. Sometimes people will remember what the doctor's talked about during the procedure

In the past there were instances of patients waking during surgery. Modern anesthetics and new technology for monitoring the patients level of consciousness helps to prevent this from happening.

its almost impossible to wake up since the concentration of the medicine they give you is very strong.
