This happens more often than you would
think. It is called anesthesia aware-
ness--the patient appears sedated, but
can feel and hear EVERYTHING being done
to them.

relax
are you okay
i don't like this strap business
that's to keep you from falling off the table
you wouldn't want to do that now, would you
nooo but i still don't like 'em
*chuckling* okay this won't hurt a bit
yeah you're not on THIS end though
*chuckling* you're going to be fine
i'm just going to put this mask over your face
relax
breathe slowly in out in out
that's it nice and slow
you're going to feel a stick now as i put in an iv
there that wasn't so bad was it
no not too bad ow
sorry about that
iv in place secure running smoothly
let's put the monitor on good
you've got a good pulse relax a little fast
it's cold in here can i have a blanket
is this better
yes but i'm still cold
i'm going to put some medicine in your iv to help you relax
now i need you to count slowly backwards from one hundred
onehundredninetynineninetyeight
slowly you're tensing up relax
relax nice and slow that's a girl shhhhhhhhh relax that's it
ninety seven
ninety six
ninety five
ninety four
nine nine
ni
time oh seven thirty
tube her lets get her ready
wait a minnit
vitals stable steady as a rock
WAIT A MINNIT
i'm FEELING THAT CAN'T BREATHE
tube placed good normal breath sounds perfect perfect
vitals stable
the patient is ready doctor
scalpel
WAIT A MINNIT I'M NOT READY I"M AWAKE YOU FOOLS
HEY i said I'M NOT ASLEEP YET
helllllo i'm still aWAKE here
i'm not AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHIFEELTHAT
STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPOWOWOWOWOW
patient doing good vitals stable

Oh Karla, I can almost imagine that and I don't want to have too! I went to the dentist once, and I guess I have done too many drugs in my day as when they put in the required amount of anesthesia I just kept talking on and on, they had to double up on it and then I just about stayed awake thru the whole tooth removal...cost a bundle to put me out, let me tell ya, LOL! Thanks for another encounter with a real nightmare....Peace, ED & Rufuz (w00f)

Oh Lordy, you had me scared out of my wits!
What are you trying to do? (Just kidding)
What an Excellent poem!
That has been my worst nightmare!
I WOKE UP during brain surgery one time!
Scared my neurosurgeon out-of-his wits!
Funny now but at the time it was quite serious!
Oh,well!
Take care!

Good one, Karla. And some people don't wake up from the anesthesia. That can happen too.
