Happened to me when I was 17. I was being operated on for peritonitis. I felt the cold air hit my intestinal tract. I was pretty out of it, still...I tried to get off the operating table. A large male nurse held me down. I remember waking up and seeing the OR lights and thinking ‘This can’t be happening...’ I had nightmares for months after that.
