When you go under the knife?

Question

Do you have a fear of not waking up again?.....I do

Answer 1

nope.

Answer 2

I did go under the knife when I was three so I can`t say I was afraid of anything since I didn`t quite understand what was happening. Now, if I would have to have surgery again, I think I would be more terrified of the procedure itself than the concequences. However, most people do wake up and actually get better so that is reassuring.

Answer 3

I've been "under the knife" five times in the last two years and each time I was afraid not waking up.

Answer 4

Just a little bit. It's not even like I had major surgury-I just got put to sleep so they could do something in my mouth when I was younger, but I was so freaked out that I wouldn't wake up. That's one of my incentives for NOT getting plastic surgury ever; before hand I'd have to deal with those thoughts of not waking up...and that'd freak me out.

Answer 5

I have gone under the knife once and I thought about it but fell sleep to soon to think about it some more.

Answer 6

I think everyone does, since the doctors make you sign those papers it makes it feel even scarier. I have had eight surgeries and never had a problem waking up. You'll be alright.

Answer 7

I haven't been "under the knife" - but it would depend on the reason/type of surgery.

Answer 8

I've never gone under the knife :)

Answer 9

Yes. There is always that chance and I am even more afraid because I have seen it happen to people for absolutely no explainable reason except that it was their time to go.

Answer 10

Yeah, but I think I'd be more afraid of waking up during the surgery.

Answer 11

Not really, cant think of a better way to go than in your sleep. Nothing to fear, if it is your time, its your time!
