During a preop for diverticulitis surgery, I respectfully declined the preop sedative, knowing that the last thing I wanted to do was to anger my anesthesiologist - but he wasn't listening to me. I was wheeled into a freezing cold operating room. My surgeon was gobsmacked that I was wide awake! I was obviously distressed, so my surgeon and I had a conversation. I reiterated that I was extremely sensitive to all pharmaceuticals and allergic to many of them. He overruled the anesthesiologist, and I was given a pediatric dose of whatever cocktails were used. Well, surprise, surprise, after surgery they couldn't get me to breathe on my own, for 7 hours! Eventually I was moved to a room, right at the nurses station. Something was placed on my finger, and a high decible alarm would go off when I wasn't taking the required number of breaths and the nurses would come running. Post surgery, I was declining my pain meds. So a night nurse decided to dose me with a full dose of Dilauded (sp?). I immediately began to vomit so violently that my stitches within my abdomen popped, and I was bleeding internally. It was in my chart that the Dilauded was to be a 1/4 dose, and then diluted with saline. My surgeon later told me that he learned a VERY IMPORTANT lesson that day - LISTEN TO THE PATIENTS! My lesson learned? You MUST be your own advocate. You MUST speak up, and you MUST insist on whatever it is to ensure the very best outcome for yourself.

I was having my entire left hip removed due to cancer and I woke up during the surgery. I could hear the music that was playing and the electric bone saw. Thankfully, I couldn't feel anything but pressure. My eyes were taped shut, but I heard the doctor reassuring me and telling the anesthesiologist to put me back under. That was 46 years ago and only the 10th such surgery ever performed. Out of those others who had the surgery, I am the only one who survived and has lived this long without a reoccurrence of cancer. I am very blessed.

OMGOSH! 😮. My partner is having a double hip replacement in 8days! I’m sure hope he doesn’t wake up during this procedure because he is a big redhead and has a temper and is pretty violent. I’m supposed to care for him after surgery for his recovery. I’m terribly concerned. His brother died in 2020 during a pretty common procedure at this same hospital. So..: he is going into this surgery thinking they are going to kill him! 😮so… anyways thanks for sharing.

Well, I can tell you what I've seen going on in the OR. I was a nursing student back in the 1990's and I had to orient through the OR. While I was there, the surgeon had a nurse turn on his radio and he began singing a Jimmy Buffet song while operating on a patient. The surgery was to remove adhesions to the intestines, and he was actually pulling them up and down like spaghetti to the rhythm of the music as he was singing. I cringed all the while he did that. No wonder patients complain of pain. I woke up in surgery right after they had extubated me and had laryngeal spasms, then I woke up again, this time in ICU. Apparently, I was extubated too soon. I also woke up during a painful procedure but could not talk or move. I told the nurse that I woke up during the procedure, and she told me, no you did not. I proceeded to tell her, word for word what her and the doctor's conversation was about, and she turned pale and said, you did wake up.

Woke up during my hysterectomy and told a joke. Woke up again and asked them what they were doing....they were pulling the packing out of my abdomen. At that point they "finished me off" but I was awake before leaving the OR. I know I was not heavily sedated because I also had a spinal, but I was kinda frisky for being under.!

I had surgery to remove my gall bladder and they took my appendix at the same time. I was cut from the breastbone to just below my bellybutton. The doctor was stapling me, tugging on it, and doing this while I started waking up. I heard him talking about his vacation and told the nurse about it. She was shocked. I didn’t feel pain but could feel my body being tugged on. I couldn’t see or speak but I never prayed so hard in my life!

I've had multiple surgeries, and have heard and remembered what people were saying, every time. One time, the nurses were happy that I'd shaved "down there," so they wouldn't have to...Lol... "Yay! One less thing!...I know, I hate doing that"... proceeded by a funny story about a really hairy patient. Another time the team discussed my physical anatomy in a way that I didn't care for. In another surgery, they played music, and the nurses were singing, laughing, and discussing their weekend plans. I tell the surgeons what happened at my follow up appointments, and they're always shocked that I was conscious the entire time (always look a little shocked & embarrassed when I tell them). I can't feel pain while under, thank God. I fall asleep, at first. Then, it feels like I'm sitting in a dark room, listening. During my hysterectomy, the doctor accidentally cut me while removing the sharp instruments from my abdomen, and that was scary as hell. He had to find the bleed to stop it and suture it up. I remember them talking about my blood pressure, and the anesthesiologist had to administer something to make sure I wouldn't wake up because my whole surgery took a long time, and I was trying to move my fingers. The scene in the room definitely turned serious, quiet, and tense. I was worried that I was going to die, and was praying. This was 10 years ago, so my memory's a bit sketchy now. I try not to think about it, but I hope to God that I never have to have surgery again, because I know that I'll be scared. In another surgery, the oxygen was up so high that I honestly thought they were going to pop my lungs. That WAS painful, as hell, and I was fighting like mad to tell them. I finally managed to move my hand and foot, and the doctor told him to turn the oxygen down. I let my body be still after that, so they'd know that was why I was struggling. It's normal for your throat and chest to hurt a bit after surgery, because of the tube, but my chest hurt SO bad after that. I swear that it took a good year for my lungs to heal. I reported it to the surgeon's office, but the nurse kept saying "Oh. That's normal. It'll go away, etc." She didn't know that I knew what had happened. I'd love to ask an anesthesiologist about this one day. I wonder how common or rare this is....

You seem like a great anesthesiologist. I had a hysterectomy several years ago, but several weeks before that, I had exploratory surgery to confirm the diagnosis before doing the hysterectomy. I was anxious about the surgery, and the anesthesiologist coukd tell. I started to tear up as they were prepping me for surgery, but the anesthesiologist was absolutely wonderful and before he put be under, he held my hand, said a prayer with me, and talked to me in a calming voice and really put me at ease before I went under. I requested him for my hysterectomy, since he was so kind and caring. He said he was flattered and couldn't remember a time when his presence had ever been requested by a patient. It was very reassuring to know I'd be in good hands, along with my wonderful surgeon and the rest of his team that walked through this with me. I'd been suffering from adenomyosis for seven years prior to all of this, and will never forget the kindness and compassion of the entire surgical team, but especially the anesthesiologist whose calming voice was the last thing I heard before going under. It was a life changing surgery, but I just felt at ease with the team that was caring for me. He even checked in on me during my recovery. Kudos to all who provide such great care.

@Kathy Dishon I'm sorry to hear you're also suffering from adenomyosis. It took years to get a proper diagnosis, and only happened because I pushed to see a civilian GYN (we were active duty military), since the military doctors didn't have a clue. Loved, loved, loved the GYN and his staff, and the fact that it took him mere minutes to diagnose me, and then scheduled the exploratory surgery ASAP to confirm. They caught it in time that the method used for my hysterectomy was less invasive than making an incision in my abdomen, so my recovery time was lessened. The surgical team makes all the difference in my opinion. I have no regrets about the surgery, because I'm no longer in pain, and as a bonus, since my ovaries were still healthy I was able to keep them, and avoid HRT. I did go into menopause earlier than most women, which my GYN prepared me for from the very beginning. Even so, it was years later that I went into menopause. I'm still not doing HRT, because there are really great natural supplements I use that are safer than the cancer causing HRT. I wish you all the best luck in whatever route you have to go.

@Pam Spencer I can understand that completely. My hysterectomy was my first (and only) major surgery. I pray I never need another major surgery, but if I do, hopefully, the experience will be as pleasant as my last one. My surgery was done in a women's surgery center, and was a very nice facility. I had my own recovery room, my mother was allowed to stay in my room with me overnight, and the nurses who cared for me during my stay there were so kind and compassionate. Having a hysterectomy is so life changing for women, and it's not just the physical aspect, but the emotional aspect as well, and I think the entire team understood that. You're losing part of what makes you a woman, and you'll never be able to have children again, and that's something I really wrestled with. BUT... the benefits of having it done far outweigh any "pros" of not going through with it.

Horror story for ya, my dad had a pace maker installed that was temporary for monitoring following another surgery. When he went in to have the unit removed weeks later he was put under once again, while he was under he woke up and had full consciousness but was paralysed and could not move or speak. He told me that was the worst, most painful thing he had ever gone thru as they pulled the cable from within his heart. He couldn't scream out or anything, just lay there and take it. His story always scares the hell out of me when going into a surgery and I've had a few so far. Hope this doesn't happen to others.

Thank you for being so honest about what happens with all the meds given before surgery. I've had several surgeries & I always wake up nauseous & dry heaving. Last surgery I had was in 2018, I had my gallbladder removed. The anesthesiologist didn't listen to me when I told him this. When I woke up I started dry heaving. After I was given a drink of water, I threw it up. When the surgeon came in to talk to me, I was still throwing up. My husband told him this is what happens when I don't get a specific med to prevent nausea before surgery. He told him I told the anesthesiologist this, but he blew it off. Needless to say, the surgeon was furious with him. He apologized numerous times to me. I told him not his fault, because it wasn't. Thankfully it is now in my medical records that I must be given anti nausea meds before anesthesia. Sorry to ramble on. I want to thank you so much for taking the time to do this video after a long day in the OR, not many would do this. Not only are you very informative & honest about things, you are very good looking. Sorry, just wanted to out that out there.

Both times I was put under I woke up fully alert as they were wheeling me out of the OR. I was sexually abused by a doctor when I was a teen. With my first surgery the doctor completely dismissed my past, and not sympathetic of what happened and how it was causing me anxiety about having surgery. Being unconscious in a room with a doctor who would be doing surgery on my cervix. So "down there." I freaked out and had a panic attack when they were trying to put me out. I threw stuff and tried kicking nurses. I now have PTSD after the surgery and had night mares for some time afterwards. Second surgery was done with a wonderful, sympathetic, understanding, caring doctor. I was in the hospital for a week leading up to the surgery and so spent a lot of time with the doctor. Saw his care for me as a patient and professionalism. When I was rushed into emergency surgery (post partum hemorrhage), I was calm, in absolutely horrible pain, but calm. No panic attacks, no PTSD or nightmares afterwards. The only thing I have after surgery is everytime I remember the doctor I cry. He saved my life, showed me care I didn't expect and greatly appreciate, and has restored some of my faith in doctors.

I once was being prepped for surgery and I asked about the possibility of experiencing pain because of maybe not being numb enough. I had a friend who said this had happened to her, so I just wanted to be sure. Well, my anesthesiologist took extra care making SURE that I couldn’t feel anything. I thought at the time that my question maybe made him a little nervous! Needless to say, I didn’t have any issues and all went well. But I felt a little bad for raising that question! In hindsight, I don’t think my question actually did make him nervous, but I think rather that he just wanted to calm any fears that I might be having. Thankfully I’ve never actually had any issues with anesthesia myself. But I appreciated his extra efforts to make sure I felt comfortable though! My surgeries have all been done in the San Francisco Bay Area, so it’s possible that you’ve been my anesthesiologist at one time or another!

Worst mistake of my life was agreeing to have surgery under local anaesthetic & sedation, instead of GA. They used midazolam. I remember most of the surgery. I can’t even begin to describe the terror. I remember seeing the scalpel in his hand and putting my arms up to try and protect myself. They topped up the midazolam but it didn’t help. The whole experience was horrific. I honestly believe that midazolam is causing PTSD and mental health problems in many people. There is overwhelming evidence now that even if someone cannot consciously remember, the body does. It reminds me of how surgeons used to operate on babies without anaesthesia, thinking it didn’t matter because they wouldn’t remember.

Definitely didn’t over hype my hysterectomy & expected a solid recovery. I’m 51 days out and still in crazy pain. My nerves won’t forget. I was ‘inflated’ or ‘deflated’ in a way that disturbed my body & left air in my pelvic area. Most intense and painful for 3 days. Could barely breath, and when I asked my surgeon what happened, he didn’t tell me anything. A recovery room nurse informed my husband that I’d had complications and that they’d had to medicate me heavily to correct issues. It really eroded my trust in my surgeon & my experience with recovery and follow up from his office has been really terrible. I’m hoping folks will follow their intuition & before surgery, be sure you trust your surgeon. I had to fight to get follow up imaging, revealing I now have ovarian cysts & that one ovary is now in a bad position … more surgery in the future & I still can’t bend or move without lots of pain. Really wish I could have a shot to forget the last 7 weeks of my life. It’s been absolute misery. Find a surgeon you trust.

I woke up with the worst vaginal pain and itching and I was immediately terrified that I’d been violated! The next time I was in hospital I talked to a nurse about that experience and she said it’s possible they used a catheter but most likely it was a yeast infection from the IV antibiotics they had me on for a few days prior to the surgical removal of an infected tooth (that caused a massive swelling in my neck, closing off my throat from swallowing and locking up my jaw so I couldn’t even open my mouth.)

Kudos to Dr.Cohen and his teams at Huntsville hospital in North Alabama who have brought me back from death a few times. The nurse who answered the Doctors call for the time to enter on my death certificate stopped by and almost fell to the floor when she saw me. Told me they had sent her home after completing my death certificate. I was operated on Friday and didn't wake up until Tuesday. Anesthesia may be hard on you but pales in comparison to death.

My problem with sedatives is with colonoscopies. During my first one back in the 90s, I was asked if I wanted to watch the monitor during the procedure. I said I did, and they gave me enough pain killer for the gas pressure, but kept me clearheaded. I really enjoyed the experience. The doctor talked to me throughout about he was doing and what he was seeing. In subsequent colonoscopies, I have asked the anesthesiologist to give me just enough for the gas pains, but not enough to knock me out, but not one has done this. I feel like I keep paying for a front row seat but always fall asleep and miss the show.

My retina surgery was a difficult and rare procedure, so I literally went to the #1 Retinologist in the country to have it done. He told me I’d have to be awake because he would have to ask me questions throughout it. I was freaked out. But he told me they’d give me something to block my ability to remember it. His anesthesiologist worked only with him so he was more up to speed on these surgeries than anyone else in his field. With my complicated medical past and a major anesthesia disaster, the anesthesiologist listened carefully and asked a lot of questions so he’d know exactly what he was working with. It went flawless! And the anesthesiologist was still by my side when I came to in Recovery, still monitoring me carefully. Knowing what was going to be done to my eye, I was so grateful that I truly had no memory from the moment they said they were ready to begin, and checked to be sure I was. I said yes, and then remembered waking up. It couldn’t have had a better outcome! The Retinoligist said it was the best outcome he’d ever seen from this procedure on a case that severe. I’m very grateful! Especially for that memory blocker!

Whenever I wake up from anesthesia, the first thing I notice is that I can't see. My eyes are open and I'm looking around but, my brain can't register what's around me. Once, I woke up in so much pain and I couldn't talk so, I was amazed as I woke up a little more to find out that I was using sign language to spell the word pain over and over again. It worked and the nurse noticed so, she was able to give me something for pain. I was just surprised that something I learned so many years ago would be something that my brain reached for in order to get my meaning across when I couldn't talk. The brain is cool and complicated. I find it comforting that it's not completely understood. God did not make something simple such as consciousness when he made us. PS, your honesty is extremely appreciated. It's rare.

@@AmyB1961 During one of the jobs I worked at it was very exhausting work - the kind that created chemical buildup in the brain - over time I began to slowly become a walking zombie and had serious memory issues like forgetting how I got somewhere - even downstairs - I forgot basic tasks and could not hold a conversation. I also noticed that I was making the same discoveries over and over in my notes I could see this - it's surreal. I know a lot of the effect was also sleep based - because I would wake up feeling like I had lost a part of myself every night. Luckily for me it was exercise - a simple jog - even in the house or on the spot that did the trick - it woke me up and cleared the chemicals to such a degree that I found staggering at its speed of effect considering how bad the situation was. I felt so thick and heavy living like that but got so used to it - the exercise made me feel so light and clear and restored my deep sleep. Normally Meditation was my go to method but during this time all it did was amplify the PTSD hallucinations because meditation while fast acting heavily relies on some level of a clear mind to work with. So I couldn't close my eyes to meditate I would have to open my eyes which worked wonders. Doing some brain studies I can see that my brain waves during this time were high beta (stress) and higher theta and delta (sleepiness, dreaming) and reduced Gamma (higher informational processing, joy and lucidity). So the power of chemical buildup in the brain clearly resulted in Alzheimer/Dementia for me. Which progressively got worse - when I finally started to forget how I got to places I knew something had to be done. The result was a crazy journey that made me learn about life in ways others could never dream of - I was quite literally in between life and death - the spirit world ....I could go on but beyond this we leave the world of the normal. So yes in conclusion I am backing the theory that those degenerative diseases as their name states are simple results of negative chemicals in the brain. The job I had to leave but I didn't recover really until I bought a better bed, better chair and started exercise - which super enhances meditation - I feel wonderful! I also learned that pressure on the spine mainly lumbar and tailbone cause fatigue and a sense of dread or fear.....interesting. What is fascinating is once the brain has high enough gamma waves if you know how to tap into them it can begin to restore the memories that were destroyed which leads me to know that we have the physical memory side that these drugs act on and a virtual memory side - only accessible in higher brainwaves which most people can't access.

The OR team should be careful what they say about the patient. If a patient felt neutral about one going into surgery and comes out angry at or afraid of them, why might that be, if they have no memory and don't know their role in the procedure?

I usually set the grade curve on exams, and I had been working so hard to keep that 4.0 CPGA, because grad school professors were always telling us "straight A students are a dime a dozen here; you need more if you want in!" My straight A's resumed afterward, but I gave up on that dream...no memory of a lot of the next 2 days.

Out of 15 surgeries, I distinctly remember two. The first was a medial menistectomy on my right knee. I woke up during the surgery, raised my head to see my doctor had my right foot clamped in his armpit while he was moving back and forth with his instruments in my knee. That struck me as so funny that I said "I always knew you were just pulling my leg!" He froze for a second then yelled at the anesthesiologist and I don't remember anything after that. It's still funny to me. The second time I reacted adversely and I still don't know why but I spent the entire week I was in the hospital apologizing to anyone who came in my room. I'd shattered my ankle, had surgery to place plates then a few days after I came home I had an infection. I called the Dr office every day for a week and told them i had an infection and never received a response. In desperation, I finally drove 4 hours to another hospital (I live in a remote area), got there at 3am in screaming pain and was in surgery by 6am. I woke up being wheeled to my room and went ballistic. I was sure a monster had my foot and was eating his way up my leg. I was screaming and crabwalking backwards off the top of the bed. Four male nurses laid across me to hold me down. I'm 5 foot zip and was 120 lbs but somehow I had superhuman strength and had tossed off the female nurses. They were all so kind, the one closest to my face kept stroking my head and telling me it was all right until I came around and just started crying from the pain. I felt so bad later for what I put them through but I really had no control. That's the only bad effect on me 13 years later, I still feel bad for those men and women who had to deal with my mental delusions from the pain. I had actually begged them to cut my leg off! I'm grateful they didn't listen. Now I'm looking at having both hips replaced and possibly another low back fusion and the only orthopedic surgeons in my area is the same group that ignored my ankle infection 13 years ago! PS, I've never taken any drug without a RX, period.

I'm sorry for the health and medical struggles you've faced, but can relate to the humor aspect- just before having anesthesia my second time while they were taking my vitals the thermometer wasn't placed properly to take my temp so the nurse apologized for taking so many pokes in my mouth and my first response was 'it's all good, you're just lookin for some hot stuff' (in a singing tone as the disco song goes..) cheesy but it got some chuckles Hope your upcoming needs are met with MUCH more care and proper consideration, may you have speedy recoveries with any procedures

While receiving a coronary angiogram I was sedated, however, I did recall I had a negative reaction to the anesthesia. I was swearing and cussing at the doctor and nurses and I was physically fighting/struggling. I remember bits & pieces of my violent behavior, although it was totally out of my control and unlike my introverted self. In recovery I was too medicated to be embarrassed. I remember the the nurses were appalled, and I heard my doctor say it was a reaction to the anesthesia. (They didnt know that I had severe untreated PTSD from my brothers physically attacking me. It was the reason I had heart problems). I wish I knew what that anesthesia was so that I would never receive it again. But from your video, I now understand that it was my mental state of PTSD that caused the problems.

I woke up just as the doctor began drilling 3 holes in my head. I could feel him leaning into me to apply more pressure as he began. I was paralyzed and my eyes were taped. The only thing I could do was bite down on the tube in my mouth. I guess they noticed and caused me go back to sleep. The second they were finished and the tube came out, my first words were, “I WAS AWAKE WHEN YOU WERE DRILLING!!!”. All activities came to an immediate halt and my doctor, leaned down and placed his hand on my chest and very quietly and calmly asked,” Donna, were you in any pain?” I said ,”no, but I know you drilled 3 holes and then I went back to sleep.” He went out and told my family that I said I woke up and he believes I did and may need counseling. I was in icu and the poor anesthesiologist came to my room the next morning. He was a wreck and said he and his wife had been praying all night for me. He said that it had never happened in his OR before and he was so sorry it happened to me. I told him I was fine and that I was not going to let it define me and I hoped he wouldn’t let it define him. My family, on the other hand, freaked out! LOL! I don’t normally tell anyone, because it causes such a strong reaction. My surgery was for a very large 4.5 cm benign meningioma. I ‘m doing great, no deficiencies and 9 years later, no recurrence! My teen age grandsons heard a casual conversation about that incident yesterday and it freaked them out. I was surprised at the visceral reaction. I assumed they knew about it. One of them said, how can you so calmly talk about that? I want throw up! LOL! I guess I’ve had a lot more time to get used it it!

I wake up from anesthesia the same way I wake up in the morning. I'll be sleeping peacefully and I don't want to wake up just yet. It just feels so good to be peacefully asleep after a long day of anxiety attacks. The only times I feel calm and content when I'm awake is when I'm with either my son or my beautiful black Arabian stallion. They are both so kind and loving. It didn't used to be this way. Only since I developed a life threatening illness with aftereffects from the treatment that are now in as much danger of killing me as the original disease. This has changed everything. I was a strong optimistic self confident athlete most of my life and enjoyed taking care of and helping others. It was always a joy to contribute to our community. Now I feel like a burden to others instead of an asset to our community which is definitely not a good way to feel. Hopefully I can find more ways to be useful. I often care for a 98 year old neighbor so his wife can get out of the house when she needs to. My son is no longer sure of my ability to babysit his two large dogs because he's afraid I'll get knocked down the stairs and he's probably right. He's starting to think I might be able to do it again soon and I think he's right as long as therr is someone I can call in an emergency. I'm thinking about finding an assisted living facility near him before too long although it would mean giving up my horse. I have a home for him with Patty when the time comes. She's been wanting him for years. He's quite valuable but no amount of money could buy him. Although I know she can afford him he's priceless and I intend to give him to her because I know he will get the same level of care he gets from me. That's what really matters.

Woke up during colonoscopy. Dr and all others in room were female. They were so loud! Chitter-chatter about men. I felt no pain, just watched the screen for a minute. Anesthetist at my side realized and said "guys, she's wide awake." They stopped talking and I knocked back out. After waking doctor showed me results in the snapshot pictures and explained each picture while saying I was not going to remember any of what she was telling me anyway. LOL. I remember.

I was also aware and uncomfortable with the process of my upper and lower procedures. I was grimacing and gagging. However, I neither had the will or power to open my eyes and say anything. The doctor looked at me and said, "More Dilaudid please." Such blissful words! That did the trick. I did remember. Don't assume pts. won't.
