Has anybody ever been awake during anesthesia?

Question

if so what happend...did you sue?

Answer 1

I have never been under anesthesia, but not too long ago i saw a news special about people that had "anesthesia awareness", they could'nt move or talk under it but they were aware of what was happening felt everything, and the doctors had no clue. It is scary to think about and now of course I think it will happen to me. Supposedly they are working on a device that monitors brain waves while under anesthesia so that they will be able to tell if the person has any awareness.

Answer 2

Well I was awake for a minute or two during anesthesia. As soon as the medical team realized this they had it corrected. I felt like I was stone cold. Felt dead because I could not move a muscle and suddenly I feel as heavy as a rock and as stiff as a statue. Like I got no life in me but yet I could hear the medical team discussing issues. I could hear but not see coz my eyelids were heavy and glued shut. It was like I was lying on the mortuary stone slab where my extra heavy weight make me feel as though I was glued to the slab albeit operating table. No I did not sue. To err is human to forgive divine. Right?

Answer 3

I woke up in the middle of my dentist cracking my left lower wisdom tooth in four pieces to pull it out, and started laughing. I didn't tell him that I had been up smoking freebase cocaine and hydromorphone all night and that had some kind of effect on the anesthetic...so i was in no position to sue.
