I have “woke up” in the middle of procedures on 3 different occasions.
This happened to me the last procedure.
I was billed $1,000 for one syringe and never felt a thing from it. Just that copper like taste of saline.
I was supposed to be getting versed and fentanyl.
They could have saved the me the money and given me a shot of scotch.
I woke up...partially...during a colonoscopy. There was no pain or anything but I did get to see the screen they used for the procedure.
if this has never happened to you before than possibly they gave you a placebo so someone could feed their own drug habit ?
I mean I personally have gotten fake stuff from Amazon before, and have read about people doing this to opioids in medical settings.
I had a dermatologist who I thought was always messed up on something, then a few years later I read in the paper how he was busted for getting a fake identity and writing scrips for himself.
I didn’t think about that possibility.
The hospital I was in has a reputation for ripping people off so I just chalked it up to that.
Good thing I have a high pain tolerance.
I would so totally date that redhead
yep.
I can tell that she is the perfect combo of hot/crazy who craves domination
Me too. Paralyzed but aware. It is very uncomfortable.
Easy, now!
Her name might be Tiffany.
It had no effect on me when I went for my first (and last) colonoscopy.
How about not totally paralyzed but fully aware and watching the surgery inside your own eye?!
And terrified to speak and startle the surgeon so vigorously wiggle some toes for someone to notice.
Then again years past waking up FIVE hours past the “normal”surgery recovery time to see TWO nurses anxiously watching .
Anethesia isnt exact science.
“Bad memories are better than no memories.” Redheaded women do take a lot.
A fellow I know is an AA sponsor. He is working right now with an Anesthesiologist who stole patient drugs.
There is a lot of confusion about general anesthesia. Most folks who report that they woke up during a procedure were receiving sedation, not general anesthesia. If they didn’t put a breathing tube down your throat you didn’t have general anesthesia. If you had an office procedure or colonoscopy you had sedation , not general anesthesia.
Twice I’ve woken up during major abdominal surgery while the tubes were in me and my arms were strapped to boards.
Even the Propofol didn’t work with me.
Same during a colostomy. Made the doc uncomfortable as I watched the screen and commented during the procedure.
I also couldn’t stand the epidural analgesia. Had them disconnect it immediately after surgery and give me IV Tylenol.
