Waking up embarrassed from anesthesia 😳

- your mindset before surgery, whether major or minor surgery, may affect how you wake up from anesthesia. there is a lot we don't understand about emergence delirium, and why we wake up emotional, screaming, crying, or saying ridiculous things. however, it is very important to have a healthy, healing mindset before something as major as surgery. who knows, it might well help patients wake up more calmly after surgery. Fighting the anesthesia, is not a healthy, or relaxed way to go under!
I woke up saying no mom I don't wanna go to school 😂😂😂😂 I've never heard a nurse laugh so hard in my life
My husband went under anesthesia & when he woke up, decided to flash his wang to the pretty little nurse. The next day he found out that the "pretty little nurse" was a 50yo 250 pound native American grandmother. He apologized then she said she'd seen worse lol
That’s funny!!! 😂😂
@@scuzzellbutthahaha…That’s funny!! 😂
I woke up crying and describing the versatility of potatoes and gave the nurse my potato soup recipe 😂
I also remember being very adamant that I needed to pee, they had emptied my bladder and I wasn’t allowed to get up 😂
@@scuzzellbutt whu did he flash her😭✋️
I was terrified once that I was going to wake up during surgery - so when surgery was over and they woke me up I shot straight up screaming "DONT START IM NOT ASLEEP YET" 😂😂😂
How long did it seem like you were asleep for?
@@thevikingwarrioridk about the person above but I’ve had 11 surgeries my longest being a 4.5hr back surgery. They all felt the same. I knew I was going to sleep, then bam I’m being woke up by the nurse telling me to take a deep breath. Then as soon as you can hold down liquids and graham crackers and can pretty much hold your own they will 1. Let you go home with a responsible party 2. Move you to a room in you have to stay. I have ptsd after my back surgery I hd at 24yrs old. I woke up in my room in excruciating pain. Nurse said I had my meds and it shouldn’t hurt so bad. I couldn’t do anything bc I was shaking from the pain so she got me an ice pack and had me lay on my side. I laid there crying in pain. Almost passed out from the pain and the dumb as assistant nurse picked my ice pack up and it was wedged between a pillow and my incision, I shoot up screaming in pain. I asked for a manager/doctor bc I needed help asap. I thought I was going to die. I kept fighting with the nurse telling her my iv wasn’t working and she just kept telling me to calm down and wouldn’t listen when I said all my meds were pinched off bc she caught the iv in the lockbox. So it took me 4.5hrs of the worst pain of my life for a doc to see me. He requested the keys and opened the box and sent all the meds at once plus a dose of anxiety meds. I had a fever of 104.3, I made everyone leave but my mom and turned the ac on and stripped all the blankets and gown off and put a tank top on. And finally fell asleep for an hour till she came in to take my blood pressure on the same arm as my iv and blew the iv out of my arm and blood went everywhere. Didn’t know at the time but the reason I was in so much pain is bc the surgeon messed me up. By my 6wk check up he had went back to his home country. I’m 43 now and can barely function. Never get back surgery unless you absolutely have too
@@thevikingwarrior for most people it feels like you close your eyes for a moment and then you open them and are in a completely different environment - which is why people can fall asleep while having a conversation and then wake up continuing that same conversation. they don't feel like any time has passed
@@randombronypony Are you sure that your not exaggerating. I have been under anesthetic 4 times and it wasn't like that.
@@thevikingwarriorcould be different for different people, because I went under 2 days ago and thats exactly what it felt like.
With all the surgeries I’ve had I’ve never caught it off. I just think this is going to be the best sleep I’ve ever had.
I actully really like anesthesia 🤣
No it feels like you wake up refreshed but I’m about to have a surgery a hernia surgery I’m not looking forward to it
It is
@@josemartinezz9152me too😂😂😂
Same!!! 😂
One time I was pretty chill about a surgery and I was confused so I sat up and said: “Hey, where’s the sleepy medicine thing?” The surgery was literally over and I hadn’t even noticed I was asleep.
Edit: For anyone saying it’s fake, this is a true story upon which I got my tonsils and adenoids removed to help my breathing and prevent serious seasonal allergies. Shortly after I woke up I began feeling nauseous and started throwing up blood everywhere. My mom said it looked like I got stabbed in the throat, but she does tend to blow things way out of proportion. I don’t remember much since this happened when I was 9, but this is what I did remember.
My first surgery as a kid was like this, it was 6:30am, so I just fell asleep before getting to the operating room because I was tired and had been woken up at 5am
I was like, so when are we going to start. They're like, it's already done.😮😅
I’m in a fake story challange and my opponent is a UA-cam commenter. Challenge level (impossible)
@@40rollsonly It actually did happen. I was getting my tonsils and the other things I forgot how to spell removed so I could breathe ok
@@40rollsonlyI’ve heard way faker stories, this doesn’t even sound fake
I woke up and apologized for falling asleep, lol. Everyone had a good laugh 😂
😂😂😂
☠️
Hope whatever you had to go through anesthesia has been heal and you are 100% healthy now ❤🎉
YO SAME AHHAHA
I woke up singing 1,2,3,4 from that old commercial. Didn't realize I was the one singing it till halfway through
I welcomed it with open arms knowing it will be my best sleep in years, and when the nurses woke me up I asked for five more minutes
Tmbut you are not asleep , you are paralysed and in a comatose state.
I have had 9 operations in 15 years, one year I had 3 operations in 5 months (not recommended)
Everytime I wake up after an operation, I am surprised it is over. As you go from fully awake to unconscious in a millisecond. So you don't remember going to sleep.
best unconcious periods ive had in a long time. wake up feeling refreshed and clear headed. my body is still mostly asleep tho ... dont try standing up right away
"Mom, it's the weekend... 😴"
i asked if i could go back to sleep, after my most recent one ,, like it really hits different. so refreshing
I always loved it when the patient woke up finishing the conversation they had b4 they went to sleep.
That happened to me lmao he asked about my tattoos so I started telling him then I woke up telling the wall
They asked me if I liked wine. I woke up listing different wines I liked. Nurse got confused and asked me if I was asking for wine 😂
I woke up finishing the joke I was telling as I went to sleep, staff were confused about "no, I'm Moses jesus is the Rottweiler & he is behind you" I know if an anesthetist asks me to tell them a joke again I'll do a short knock knock one.
I’d wake up and start talking about nitroglycerin lmfao
I had to get rods put in my arm to straighten it after i broke it. Was a "look mom, no hands!" Moment. When i went in for surgery i remember looking at the ligh above me, and when i woke up another light was above me, so when i saw them work on me i shouted that the anaesthesia didnt work. They were done
My mother is a CRNA and she always likes to say "I'll knock you out however I need, even if I need to use my trusty rubber mallet". I'm so proud of her for doing what she does, she's helped countless people go through procedures with no issues and it makes me very happy to know that
Please tell your mom, thank you! ❤
Bruh I can imagine a nurse just toting around a mallet and waiver papers for patients resistant to anesthesia 💀💀
Hitting people with rubber mallets 🤣😭
Your mom is a Looney Tunes character
A rubber mallet but it's acutualy the accordeon ones that squeaks when you hit something with it! Aurgh that would put me to sleep silly laughing!
I was so scared I started crying and looked the anesthesia guy in the eyes crying and held his hand while he patted my head till I fell asleep , I know he deals with that daily but I wish I could thank him for being so nice to me.
aw what a sweetheart
So kind and caring ❤
I could use that even for regular sleep tbh, especially if I wake up after a nightmare in the middle of the night
@@autumnblaze6267 Reality is often disappointing
I was under "twilight" sedation so i was awake but asleep, it feels like when you take the best nap of your life but if they ask a question or need you to move or something, you can do it just fine. I feel like a princess taking a nap in my cloud castle. My anesthesiologist always rubs my hand until i doze off and she will brush my hair out of my face since im not supposed to move while they do the bone marrow biopsy. The anesthesiologist, the one doing the biopsy and the one learning how to do biopsies are all the sweetest ladies and we all have conversations while i doze off and they compliment me on how well i did and everything, its great. Waking up sucks bc i have a hole in my hip from the biopsy and when the meds wear off, i FEEL it lol but i get a bone marrow biopsy once a year and i look forward to my one good sleep of the year
Brains are like computers. If it loses connection, it’ll try and finish the process when connection’s back 😂
Mine was ok with the reboot. The moment I realize I was awake again, I stood up(which scared them a little) and I walked into the waiting room with the Dr. walking next to me.
It turns out I have 2 modes. Asleep and awake. Very little is in-between.😂
Nice analogy. With sleep it's more like, whatever was running before you went unconscious will often run for much of the night.
It's super helpful to give yourself some positive affirmations just before you fall asleep for this reason.
@maxwellbeals9584 literally sleep mode vs shut off lol
Stop all the downloading!
@maxwellbeals9584 It's literally just shut down and rebooting nothing between in those 2
I did this as a young child getting a pin in my arm after breaking it. They had a really hard time bringing me out of anesthesia in the OR and eventually, after getting a minimal response from me, took me to a recovery room. When the doc came in to check on me a bit later and shook.me to wake me up, I reached up with my uncasted arm and slapped him across the face. My mom still laughs every time she tells the story and I will forever be sorry for hitting the doctor!
My anesthesiologist god me good with the “ol why did the chicken cross the road” joke. I passed out laughing
I also remember waking up asking for bacon cheeseburgers 😂
When I woke up from my anesthesia, I didn’t even realize time had passed. I was so confused and asked “why haven’t you done the surgery yet? Is something wrong?” They all laughed. I had been done with my surgery for like an hour.
NEARLY THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME LMAO
this same think happened to me when i was like 5 when i had my throat surgery lol
This is super normal. I did the same thing last month
@@joedover302that's because it's normal lol
I had 2 Surgeries recently and i just ask a lot of questions, testing my Amateur Knowledge and trying to understand what they do! its always fascinating!
I hope they don't mind my curiosity!
When its time for anesthesia, i always enjoy the process, i ask what they will use, what it does to the body, and then i focus on the sensations of the medication working on my body!
I love modern Medicine!
I was a conversation with my surgeon and suddenly he announces he's going home. I replied not until you get this kidney stone out of me. The staff laughed and told me my surgery was over 😅😅 true story 😂😂😂
Doctors are definitely over worked and underpaid ~ I have head this all of my life, & I truly believe it. They are on call 24/7 ~ for us🧡🌟🧡
G-d Bless Tgese Wonderful Doctors, like you, Dr. K. 🧡🌟🧡❤️🩹
😂😂😂
You do feel like you'll wake up instantly!
I had a lot of surgeries and anesthesias (including several medically induced comas) but the worst one was definitely my gastroscopy “anesthesia” and my transjugular liver biopsy.
I told them multiple times that anesthesias take longer to have an effect on me.
They gave me two or three additional injections of anesthesia, but I just didn’t fall asleep. However, I couldn’t move and started to cry.. the doctor didn’t care if I was asleep or not and just shoved the camera down my throat. The nurses even told him to stop because I wasn’t sleeping yet. Then he threw away my piercings and asked me the dumbest questions ever after the procedure - “ohhh are you already awake? Did you sleep at all? So you felt everything?”. He knew the answers to all of those questions.
The doctors refused to give me anesthesia when I had my transjugular (through the vein in my neck) liver biopsy. They told me that I couldn't have anesthesia because I have to breathe in a specific way during the biopsy / biopsies. I only found out after my transplants that other patients were allowed to have anesthesia and that it was actually “normal” to have an anesthesia during the procedure. After that, I refused to have a transjugular liver biopsy without anesthesia ever again.
The doctor had to try about eight times to hit my jugular vein because the needle / catheter always slipped out.
He took more than 8 biopsies.
I have a very high pain tolerance but at some points the biopsy really hurt.. the moment the catheter passed my heart, my whole chest burned like hell, my heart rate was over 200, I couldn’t breathe and felt like I'm about to pass out. They just didn’t care. I wasn’t allowed to move or talk..
Thats horrible, that shouldn't be allowed and you could sue them for breach of care if it terrified you that much
I'm so sorry that happened. It is so heartbreaking how some health care professionals function and the toll it takes on us 😭
@@Dopeychezdog it terrified me a lot and I thought about suing after they almost killed me but I needed my energy to fight for my life, to relearn everything and to survive in my new life! Where I am from suing a hospital or doctor isn’t that easy..
@@EmTheAdventurousPea85 unfortunately, I could write a book about my negative hospital (& docs, nurses etc) experiences and stories.
Ofc I've also had good experiences, but the negative ones simply outweigh the positive ones.
I hope you managed to sue the medics senseless.
Went back two weeks later for a follow-up. The receptionist said "I'll let the girls know you're here." Bruh what did I say....
Unconscious Rizz
@@sekai40or unconscious harrassment
This should be a wake up call if your unconscious self has more game then your conscious self😂😂😂
@AleV69692 that's a fall asleep call dawg
Did you ever ask lmao
I don't remember any of it but my anesthesiologist said I was talking for about 20 minutes about the history of psychedelic drugs (I had just taken a college course that went into detail about it) but my mom was there to give moral support and heard most of the conversation. She had a lot of questions about my "extracurricular activities" when I woke up.
just like me 4real
Where the fuck were courses like these back when I was studying.
@@stauntssantana Texas State University circa 1999 (back then it was called Southwest Texas State) there was a class called "Magic, Ritual and Religion" I took as an elective in place of a foreign language (I think, this was 24 years ago my memory is a little fuzzy.)
@@clariteyI had a in depth conversation with my nurse about the many ways to consume weed and all that good shit😂
I dont remember any of this either, but in 2021 i was having my fourth heart surgery and they gave me fentanyl... Apparently, i cried, called my mom and said "MOM I'M ON DRUGS! I'M SO SORRY! I DIDN'T MEAN IT"
I „dreamed“ about my friend bringing me cookies after I got my wisdom teeth removed. I told her about it and the next day she showed up with cookies ☺️
Aww what a sweet friend ✨
@@saniainezuntil you realize he couldn’t eat the cookies if he wanted to bc he js got his teeth pulled 😭😭 nah that’s a real friend though
@@ethanrutherford7244 drown the cookies in milk, it will be soft enough to eat
Then just waited 2 weeks to eat 'em
That is so sweet!
I actually just baked cookies, cause i'll get my wisdom teeth removed on friday, and said to the person that makes the operation that i will bring them cookies hahah
I am very nervous tho😅
9 years ago, I woke up after surgery and had a little conversation with the nurse tending to me. I've forgotten what it was about but i ended up telling her "You have a lovely bedside manner."
Last week I had my appendix out, I woke up and my teeth would not stop chattering. I wasn't cold but I just really needed someone to comfort me. The nurses got me an extra blanket but after another minute or two I asked the nearest nurse if she could hold my hand, which she did, and I burst into tears 😅
She was so kind. I'm really grateful for her compassion while I was feeling very vulnerable
Everyone needs a hug sometimes and definitely u needed that the most after that surgery.
I remember waking saying "wait I'm still awake" and then they said "we're already done" and I was like "what".
Yeah the weirdest thing about it was that it felt like a blink of an eye. When you are normally asleep you still have a sense of time having passed, not under anesthesia.
Best news is that you were actually awake the entire time. Anesthesia paralyzes you and causes amnesia. You’re actually awake the whole time, feeling everything, probably having a mental breakdown.
Even better, a small percentage of the time, the amnesia doesn’t happen and you remember.
This is not true. It’s true that you get a muscle relaxant, that’s not the same as the anesthesia itself. During the surgery you are closely monitored. If your parameters are indicating pain, the CRNA will give you more medication.
@@mrarchaicworld Why would you even think that? Do you think when you're asleep you are actually awake but just don't remember? haha
When anesthetic wears off before the muscle relaxant you wake up, that's why they notice your readings go through the roof even if you are not moving and then put you back to sleep.
i love anesthesia. i went to get surgery for my heart and i didn’t know they were gonna put me to sleep. they told me they were just connecting an IV for a blood test and about 30 seconds later i was out. i woke up and apparently started talking to the nurse about my “expensive car collection.”
i don’t have a car collection 😂
Those staff members should have explained the anesthesia process, I'd report them and never go back there.
@@Rotisda it was almost 10 years ago 🤣. i was young and they probably didn’t want me to freak out lmao.
Isn’t that medical malpractice to lie to your patient about what your doing to them?
@@daisymay6505 this was at least 10 years ago. i was young and they probably didn’t want to scare me. not that big of a deal. my parents knew what was happening so they weren’t lying to them. just lied to me so i didn’t freak out probably.
@@Rotisda
Who would be so ignorant as not to know that they will have anesthesia while undergoing surgery...
Honestly that is what Google is for, learn all you can, if you care to know. You can also ask the doctor, beforehand.
Who is calm enough to try and fight it? When i felt my hands go numb and started to hear whistling I was convinced I was gonna die under anasthesia and couldnt do anything but hyperventilate and breath in the gas anathesia faster 😅. Thank god for my doctor who noticed and petted my head nad told me I'm safe over and over untill I blacked out. Forever greatful for that man, the kindest doctor ever ❤
That sounds sweet. 😊
that is so sweet oh my word i’d feel so much better if that happened and my doctor was comforting me
@@Goofygabber-o1e, happens all the time. I've seen anesthesiologists spend an hour just answering questions and reassuring the patient that they will be doing nothing but watching out for them. And I've seen them do just that.
Aww that’s sweet
I have mental trauma around laughing gas, I can’t even smell it without anxiety I HAVE to go with iv now 😰
The last time I was put under, I was told that I woke up singing the song that was playing when I went down. The anesthesiologist told me that he had never been sang to before and he loved it!
Hahaah😂 Sounds hysterical! Thanks for sharing😆
You gotta be the chillest and most relaxed person, ever, lol!
Once, I was scheduled to get my wisdom teeth taken out. I went to the appointment, they drugged me up, and I fought them so hard they had to stop. I just remember waking up and everyone looked really pissed off and then they shoved me into my moms car and had me leave. A few months later, had a new doctor do the surgery.
Well, turns out the ortho surgeon that was supposed to take my wisdom teeth out, was arrested shortly afterwards for sexually assaulting people while they were under. So, wasnt the worst thing for me to fight it in that particular scenario. True story.
Edit: The doctors name is Michael Lee Hasson, an oral surgeon in North Carolina. He was arraigned in May 2023. His trial starts this month. 30 counts, 23 known victims. You can fact check it or you can fuck off. I prefer the latter.
Holy sh!t 😮
Omg!
What!?! 😢
wait why'd you fight them
@@desiree2401well, I mean, I didn't do it on purpose. Some people just react violently to anesthesia. The same thing happened to my best friend actually.
I was horrified when I realized that when my nurse woke me up after my endoscopy ..." how are you feeling?" With no hesitation I replied... " I feel like I had oral relations with a dragon" I had to go back 4 mos later and was STILL embarrassed 😳 😅 I guess you guys hear it all! Lol
😂😂
I say similar despite no anaesthetic .. everyone needs a laugh by that point
@@Dingdongbingaling lol 😆 😂 awesome!
It was probably the ET that made you say that. That shit can hurttttt
I would wake up and ask if I farted.😊
The doctors told me to try and fight it by talking so they'd know when i was fully asleep
Last time I just told my self "I have to prepare mentally for the pain after the surgery" and I instantly wake up to the pain thinking "I wasn't ready" 😩
Wait you felt it instantly?
It took me I think a week to fully feel the extent of my pain. I dont know how I walked after a day when I could barely do so agter a week
waking up out of anesthesia was always very surreal to me for some reason. Every time I wake up i burst into tears at the reminder of all the very real issues in my life that im waking up and returning to.
Real asf (acquire a therapist immediately bro wtf did I just read)

I love these replies
I just wanna thank the lady that held my hand as I drifted off on the operating table before surgery. First time going under and I was super anxious, and that small gesture really helped me calm down and relax.
I woke up once to this nurse yelling at a man in recovery. She kept saying,”Sir, sir! Stop that! Sir that’s a tube! Sir put your penis down!! Sir you do not want to take that out of your penis! Sir let go of your penis!” It was great 😂
What happened with him?
He was probably trying to pull a catheter out lol

*Shudder*
Wonderful bedside manner. And oh so comforting for people afraid of surgery and anesthesia.
Anesthesia is one of the scariest thing i ever went thru you are so vulnerable and you life is in someone elses hands God bless all the doctors for their work
Had surgery 4/22, and the surgeon did a good job, but took off after I came to and never saw him again. The anesthesiologist on the other hand came by the next day and visited w/me & made sure I was okay. That made me feel much better, not so alone. Really nice guy.
I came to during a colonoscopy in 2017, screaming my head off. Remember everything that happened, everything I said & what the very kind nurse said. I remember it all except the pain. Then the doc yelled for more drugs and I went back under. Scared my mom tho, because I have a very high pain threshold and have never screamed in my life (& I have broken a lot, dislocated a lot, cut my hand & leg badly, etc). As far away as she was, I must have screamed very loudly for her to hear me and recognize my voice.
Riveting storyline and character development
People in my family come to, but rarely feel the pain. Only one person had that problem. That must have been terrible!
@@melissasaint3283it's a big lawsuit if it does.
I always fall asleep in the OR feeling very safe and like I'm the most important person to all of those people. They make such a huge effort to be kind and reassuring and ask me how I'm doing and put me at ease. The last time the nurse just sat there rubbing my arm in such a caring and comforting way until I went under. Honestly, I'm so sorry for people who can't just soak in being the focus of so much care and concern their team genuinely feel. Let yourself be cared for, you deserve it.
Oh my god real, thank you for putting it into words, it's an incredible feeling!
This is beautiful and so helpful ❤ thank you 💕

@@tat2dMama68 but it feels so good!
@@FortheBudgiesthats an opinian
I remember saying “wow this really works” fell asleep and then woke up during surgery crying and screaming… so there’s that 😅
I woke up from my first full anesthesia surgery, with blurry eyesight, my fingers were almost fully numb but tingling...
I was just yelling the "F" word over and over; the nurse kept saying "Please don't say that! Stop it!"
... Nobody ever told me to expect that or that it was temporary, I thought I had permanent vision damage and that I may also have nerve damage. It was an emergency surgery, I already did not want it due to fear of side effects. I also have an extreme fear of needles too; I yelled and choked out black cold just as it pierced my arm in the beginning.
It took the anaesthesiologist two goes before the general took effect. He was baffled. It took ages for me to fall under. Then he looked at my records and said my hair colour was missing. He asked what my natural hair colour was. I asked why that mattered? Then he replied “you’re a natural red head aren’t you?”
And indeed I am. I had no idea that red heads need more than non red heads to be put to sleep! 😮
Do you have any source outside of this anecdote?
Not saying you're making it up, just curious.
@@MartinFinnerupI don't have a source for it either, but it's something I've heard a lot
red heads are built different
@@SakuyalzayoiTheMaid Technically (genetically) everyone is built different..
This statement is very true. I always need a higher dose than the regular person
Last time I woke up from anesthesia I came to mid conversation with the doctor about how a Prussian king saved his kingdom by tricking his people into liking potatoes
Lmao that’s actually brilliant.
Awww
I recently had surgery. Before getting knocked out I said a little prayer to God for protection against any spirits or evil and for guidance of the surgeons and team. I woke up in spiritual battle mode basically performing an exorcism . I felt the jinn on my recovery nurse who was trying to wake me up. It was a whole host of verbal and energy power moves. She asked what language that was and religion it is, the. Came back and thanked me before I got discharged. For sure a different experience than other anesthesia surgery events.

I had heart surgery two years ago had a hard time waking up. They told me I had delirium for 4 days. Took me 6 months to get my faculties back. Hope I wasn’t disrespectful to anyone because I can’t remember a thing
I believe this. My last thoughts going into surgury were I wished I could have my wife by my side. I woke up and they apparently needed 4 people to hold me down as I demanded to see my wife. They brought her to me and I was instantly pacified.
Always need a loved one with ya.
Honestly I’m sorta proud of you that shits wild
Thats kinda cute
thats so damn cute
mf u can’t even spell surgery tf is surgury
My anesthesiologist had me tell her about my favorite memory and it was so peaceful. I’m grateful for her because I was soooo nervous.
I don't resist consciously, I just get a last-minute panic attack and try to run away.
So true the that feeling of not having control
Same
I remember trying to pull the mask off because the gas was too heavy, then I realised I was pinned down and looked at the nurses and just accepted it lol
Amen, that last second or two where you feel like maybe you're dying and won't wake up. It's not natural to be forced unconscious so our bodies and minds fight it.
lol
Me to
I bet your job is just absolutely hysterical. Maybe very sad but hopefully it's the other way and it's hysterical thank you you are just amazing
I TRIED on my Last surgery.
I woke up half way through oral surgery. I heard cracking and heard someone say, "Shes waking up". The doctor replied, "then put her back under!". Ive never agreed with a doctor more! I didnt want to wake up when they were trying too wake me after. 😂😂
Omfg I woke up too screaming he was trying to dig root out. And didn't put me back under cause he was gonna be done in like a minute but that was a loooonnng minute
@@IttyBitty412I was awake the whole time while root removal
@@IttyBitty412that must’ve been painfulq
My surgery ran over the expected time and I was awake for the stitching, it was terrifying.
When I went to get my wisdom teeth pulled, I fell asleep counting powers of two and woke up doing the same thing. The doctor poked their head in to see who was counting "256, 512, 1024, 2048" you go under way faster than you expect and don't notice until you're down for the count.
Unfortunately anything that numbs or puts me to sleep triggers my fight or flight response. Usually for me its the fight response. I also tend to wake up early from the anesthesia.
Me too and it’s embarrassing
Tbh, I'm just glad it's not just me. I had a dentist treat me like I'm an idiot when I told him the one time I was put under, I started fighting involuntarily as I was losing consciousness.
Yeah... i punched a nurse twice, i told them i needed more than most people, i have redhair but it only shows in my beard, and im 6'10 and weigh 350lbs. They ended up dosing me with enough to knock out 4 1/2 people, when i came to they told me that i was right and informed me i punched a nurse in the middle of it
@@emer07jiffybro I’m sorry but you’re too damn big to be punching nurses 😭 I hope they’re okay lol
@emer07jiffy damn, that's wild. When it happened to me, I was about 16, 120lbs, and I kicked a doc in the chest before they actually had to hold me down.
"1,2,3,4,5,6..." Blinked, and 3 hours passed. That was a trippy experience for an 8 year old.
My grandmother had a bloated stomach from fluids. She was in pain and they put her out so they could perform a few tests while she was relaxed. When she woke up, she looked at her stomach and her eyes got all big. She said "I'm not having this baby alive. Y'all get it out of me!" We all had a good laugh at that one. My favorite was later when she saw her feet. She had on black socks, but the white blanket covered one. She gasped "What's wrong with me, having one sock black and one white?" I'll never forget that woman. RIP Granny ❤
That's beautiful! God bless her ❤
I will never back down. NEVER. Give up.
And this is why Ill never understand why they sprung the anesthesia on me for my wisdom teeth. Why not just calmly explain what was happening and give me a sec? Freaked me right the heck out and I woke up crying and fighting the nurses. Thankful for understanding doctors later who gave me much calmer experiences later for other procedures ♡
I had surgery in the OR where I worked. I don't remember it, but I emerged from anesthesia offering to help mop the room. My scrub told me no, they would take care of it, and apparently I nodded and said, Ok.
I think because I knew all the sounds and voices, and I trusted everyone, I came through it very calmly. I've seen other co-workers do much the same when they were the patient.
😂😂 Hahah that’s actually so cute lol.
wait does this mean your coworkers saw your butt 🫣 that’s the only thing I think of after a surgery is how much of me the team saw 😭
That’s so sweet 😂❤
"I'm a redhead, i have a tolerance for pain medicine. I'll probably fight this" I said.
"Go ahead, I've got a truckload of this shit" He replied, before I fell asleep
This is very funny 😂
I'm so glad someone else knows about the redhead thing, my own methadone doc made me feel ridiculous cuz of the fact HE WASNT INFORMED OR UP TO DATE ON HIS KNOWLEDGE....
@@jessicasinclair1166 They laugh at me but look it up. There are stories
@@jessicasinclair1166 It is real also I have a high tolerance for pain too. If I complain I'm in pain, it is usually REALLY bad
That’s so scary! I’ve had to have a few surgeries and to know I’ll never win against that anesthesia is scary. My life is in the hands of other people. I’m always hoping and praying they’re competent and care about whether their patients wake up. But then I’ve been in so much pain needing the surgery I’ve basically said oh just knock me out! I wish all anesthesiologists were like you. They do ask a lot of questions over and over and I’m grateful they do. I always tell them the issue I have is a hard time waking up and do not give me fentanyl! I hate that stuff!
Bro I remember when I woke up from a surgery and I just reached out to the glove holders saying "turkeyy" because I wanted to wear it as a turkey hat 😅.
I woke up from a surgery only able to speak and understand Spanish for a good few minutes. I kept asking worriedly where my stomach was 😂
Do you speak spanish in any way or was it like you never learnt or knew it
@@erdempolat6231yeah bro woke up a savant
@@erdempolat6231they either were speaking the little Spanish they knew, or more likely, just spoke gibberish they believed to be Spanish. Don’t trust what people say about Savant Syndrome, the internet’s perception of it is very far from the reality of it, and something like anesthesia won’t induce it
@@erdempolat6231It's impossible to speak a language you don't know.
donde esta mi estomago guay
I liked my NA. He leaned over and goes “nitenite!” And waved at me. And i go zzzz. 😂❤
As someone who has problems sleeping right now due to pain from trigger thumb and finger I look so forward to surgery. The anesthesiologist is the person who will give me the best sleep I've had in weeks. Too bad it's a short procedure.
even if it’s a short procedure, you’ll be OUT for HOURS. probably all day. i have health issues so i go under for testing a lot and i usually spend the whole day sleeping once i’m on anesthesia. i promise you’ll have a good sleep. you should be grateful it isn’t long. otherwise your recovery will be longer. and it would mean your condition is much worse. so you wouldn’t be sleeping at all probably.
Same.. knock me out!!!
I just had surgery this week and I waved night night and said, "Make good choices..." All I remember is giggles...
They say "Okay take a few breaths of oxygen" and I'm already trying to go to sleep 😂😂😂
I’m still confused cause I think it was the gas, literally fell asleep after taking deep breaths of what they said was “oxygen”. So was it actually oxygen or was she trying to trick me
I’ve had a couple dozen surgeries and needing anesthesia in my life, I’m only 37 so I hope they are all but one behind me now and don’t need anymore except this last one in the next year or two. But I remember my first surgery I was 12 and I seriously did not believe they were going to make me sleep AND feel no pain with medicine. After that I never tried to fight it and enjoy that moment of pure bliss for about 5-10 seconds as you drift into unconsciousland. Also, I’ve never ever once encountered an anesthesiologist or nurse anesthetist that was rude or made me uncomfortable in any way, best honed side mannerisms ever!
The only time I've ever been put under anesthesia was when I got my wisdom teeth out and I remember the anesthesiologist telling me that I would start to feel very sleepy. I was so scared because I wasnt feeling sleepy at all... Next thing I remember was being in the recovery room. Needless to say, despite my fears it worked and I was so grateful!
Best advice I ever got before anesthesia was to think of the happiest I've ever been. And yep - I wake up that way!
Will remember that if I ever need to get surgery
I just lie there and think "Let's get on with it".
Woke up during surgery. Still far worse than anything most people can imagine. I was eleven and I still remember struggling to get someone's attention so they'd know what was happening. I still remember when the doctors realized I was awake and the panic they went into! Absolutely nothing compared to my relief of finally being discovered! But to this day I still fight the anesthesia!
Damn, what surgery was it?
@@AHHHHHHHH21 My hand suffered second and third degree burns and I had to get a couple skin grafts. That was the original surgery. My hand didn't heal right so the doctor had to break the bone and reset it. He also performed a second skin graft because he realized that his first piece was too small.
I'm so sorry this happened to you. ❤
@@sarbearsleeps333 I thought that was the worst thing to happen to me. But thirty years later while in surgery I ended up in asystole for 30 seconds! It was surreal when the nurse explained to me that the chest pain I would be feeling was from getting CPR! I didn't believe her until I got the after action report. 🤯
I fall asleep at just the Anesthesiologist’s voice saying count back. I joke and say it’s the best rest that I ever get bc/ I am a card carrying insomniac here. But twilight sleep, novacaine, even lidocaine and such does not work on me because of my h-EDS.
Your advice, caring, knowledge and kindness to share is truly great!
Thank you
I took an extra long time to go to sleep. The nurse even told me "you shouldn't be awake right now. I wasnt fighting it.
My one experience with a twilight drug didn't do anything that drug was meant to do.
That happened to me and I asked them if they can give me a minute to relax because I was scared and they did and it worked ... Operation was over and I was like where did everyone go.😂
3 days after my knee surgery the anesthesia team came into my room to tell me they were genuinely impressed. They said I counted down from 100 and got to 63 before I went lights out. i honestly don't remember anything beyond the mid 80s.
I got to 97
this made me giggle
@@Calcanthitedamn, you just went right out
@@AHHHHHHHH21 My brain activity is very low and I sleep a LOT
This is so cool! 😂
When I had surgery I was having a huge panic attack right before going into the OR and my anesthesiologist said “I’m gonna give you something to calm you down” and pushed the anesthesia. I woke up not just having a massive panic attack, but in a state of paranoid psychosis. I ended up ripping out my IV in the recovery room and walking all the way out of the hospital in paper scrubs and taking an Uber home
That's hilarious man, did nobody stop you?
After my appendix when I woke up I said “I feel empty inside”
Still proud of that one
Anesthesia is the most relaxing and addictive thing i ever exeprienced and that's the reason im actually really exited for my surgeries( i had them since i was a little kid so they don't bother me anymore)
I'm glad I'm not the only one. I got put under for ear surgery, and it was literally the best feeling I've ever had. I've been craving that knockout dragon for over 12 years now lol.
I get it lol. I wanna be tranquilized sometimes fr 😴
Then there’s me, an adult whose terrified when being out to sleep so has tears dripping as I try to breathe properly because drs telling me I’m too anxious I need to relax let it work 😂
How was your experience because I will be under it for the first time in A few months and I’m so nervous
I was scared af crying for no reason and then woke up feeling fine, like oh, it's over? It was like nothing like I close my eyes and open them no time passed
Its fine
@@rosynessrose6556 That's what everyone says about anesthesia, so hard for me to comprehend. :)
The longest surgery I’ve ever had was eight hours for scoliosis spinal surgery and the anesthesia literally put my consciousness out, no dreams, no nothing, and I woke up eight hours later, thinking that I had merely blinked my surgery away. I was only eleven years old, so I didn’t quite comprehend the extent of the surgery, but I got to choose between them putting laughing gas on me before they gave me the shot that would render me kaput for the surgery. I chose the laughing gas and my last few milliseconds before I went out smelled really bad (the team said it was supposed to smell like strawberries, and it did before the last few deep breaths). Before I went out though, I told them to disregard me if I say or do anything dumb. 😂
Anyways, it’s all right if you’re scared. I might have to get my scoliosis fixed a second time, and as an adult who is learning about all the components of a successful surgery and the team of DRs and Nurses behind that, and I’m feeling much more vulnerable about the whole situation than my eleven year old self ever did. 😅 ❤
Two months ago when i went under, i remember everything.
When they injected the solution, liquid fire flowed through my veins, the pain was on a different level. Time had slowed, i tried asking the nurse if this was supposed to hurt like this, and if i should still be awake.
But they didn't answer me.
Nothing would come out of my mouth I was too tired to speak too tired to move but the pain wouldn't let me sleep. I was just paralyzed there on the table.
After what felt like 6 hours, i heard the dr tell the nurse that he was done and to wake me up, and to go let my wife know i was all finished.
My body still hurts every time i think about it.
😮 did they not give you enough?
@@khakishark no they didn't unfortunately, the person who put me under messed up.
Either due to negligence or malice, I couldn't say.
oh my god that’s my biggest fear, being too awake during surgery. did they get in trouble? did you say anything about it and if you did what was their reactions? i would’ve sued smh
You should get that check probably one of those immune to it or something
Were you awake the whole time? You should of sued them. Best wishes
When I had my wisdom teeth out I woke up at one point but couldn’t feel anything or move. I heard them playing music and talking about golfing that weekend. When I woke up I didn’t mention it to them, but I guess I probably should have 😂
I love surgery naps. It's the one time my body full rests. Did wake up during a cardiac ablation once. I am so glad the sleep pixie noticed immediately! It was a very brief glance around the room!
I say my final last words to the universe in my head if i have to go under.... just in case i don't wake up. And i appreciate the fact that I've woken up every time so far
you think you leave the universe when dead?
@@egay86292well, you definitely won't get to say your last words.
I was being put under and I was very calm but right before I passed out I got a strong wave of fear and I told the doctor. When I woke up I was SURE the nurses in the recovery room were going to dirt nap me and I tried to escape in fear for my life. The nurses were ready and hit me with another shot. When I woke up again I was fine. That still haunts me. I asked the doctors what was used and they told me not to worry about it so now I live in fear of needing another surgery.
I feel like that's a tad bit illegal to not tell you what they used
In the moments before and while slipping into unconsciousness for my heart transplant, I focused on absorbing as much of the experience that was available, from my perspective, to all the prep activity going on all around me, to wishing the best for my wife and kids. Then the celing light appeared to start strobing, so closing my eyes, I let go.
I awoke the following morning feeling fresh and confused by my surroundings and a deep sense of joy. I took a mental break from trying to figure this out, cleared my mind; then woke up again and slowly the events of the day before crept into my consciousness and began to realize the difference in me.
I remember the paralytic taking effect before the knockout drugs. More than a decade later, I still remember the feeling of suddenly suffocating, and the feeling of the whole surgical team holding me down. I also remember the end of that same operation: The feeling and appearance of the tube clicking against my teeth as they removed it, as well as my transfer from the table to the gurney. Either the anesthesiologist was garbage, or I really pissed somebody off.
Eurgh what an unpleasant experience 😱 Think I'd be fearing another one forever if that happened to me...
I think that’s very common they are ruthless with the tubes
Some folks just don't react as well to anesthesia. If you have to go under again, make sure they know what happened last time. There may be things they can do to reduce the chances of it happening again.
Once I woke up in the recovery room after surgery, I lay on the bed, watching one of the nurses for a few minutes, as he was putting little things away, making notes, and so on...and asked if it was okay to sing. He grinned and said "...sure, why not." SO I sang the Judy Garland version of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow"...seemed quite appropriate. He must have been a bit surprised, I think... I occasionally am asked to sing at baptisms and weddings, and I'm singing a solo in church next Sunday, a Christmas song by Sally Deford...
I probably sounded a little tipsy, though... we both laughed! 😊
I have had 12 spinal surgeries & always enter OR w/anxiety. last surgery the anesthesiologists thought I might feel less anxious if I could hold the mask over my face myself. WRONG! I kept lifting up the side...talking to the team...trying to HOLD OUT on falling asleep. Eventually, the doc's hand take back ahold of the mask...and before I knew it...I was waking up from surgery. LOL
Sounds like this would be me also if I was given that option or my hands be shaking 🫠
12 spinal surgeries?? Sorry is this something you're able to talk about a bit more? I'm having my first spinal surgery next year so just wanna know what to expect
@@kingloz36Good luck!! my stepdad needs the same thing from a herniated disc in his back.
@@kingloz36ask the surgeon when the time comes. Every experience is unique. Yiu don't want to feel 'duped' when your experience is different. 'But, but, the person on youtube told me something different!'. Before surgery, ask your doctor as many questions you can come up with. Go with the flow. Wishing you all the best and a speedy recovery😊
@@shyryTsr2k same! I have two herniated discs that developed into spinal arthritis 😭
"thinking youre never gonna win"
what i really think: "nah, id win"
Lol
I have to fight it so i have chance to win
I chose not to fight the anesthesia when I went in for a colonoscooy because of this short. I was interested in seeing how long I could last until I realized you're totally right and I don't want to put myself in a "fighting" mindset.
Everyone turned around and walked away and I started to feel like I was falling into a dark tunnel. I panicked and screamed "I'm dying!" And they turned around to rush back as I sank into blackness. I could feel them moving me around a little but couldn't react. I woke up crying hysterically and screaming my head off while a crowd of panicked medical people were rushing around screaming, "Put her back out! She's having a reaction!" I was calmer the second time. But hey please give them the countdown we need it!
When i did my wisdom teeth they didnt say ANYTHING, they all just came in the room, told me who they were, and said "goodnight". No "count down" or whatever, I stood no chance
I was knocked out once for surgery and I was a happy man. Before they put the needle in I closed my eyes and acted like I was going to sleep for a nap. Everything was great, great team worked on me and great results
Every time I’ve had surgery I’ve had a nurse shaking me awake bc I wasn’t waking up naturally and would be asleep way longer than usual. I just like sleeping and anesthesia makes it easier😂
Recently I had a brain surgery. I was totally awake while they rolled my bed to the operation room. But the last thing I remember was the closed doors from the outside. I didn't even make it into the operation room this time. 😂
When I woke up later, I had a flashback that really upset the nurses. One was about to call the cops when my anaesthesiologist came and told them that I was the one with PTSD and they need not call the cops. 🙈 I can't remember anything. They later told me I had been hiding under the hospital bed as soon as I had woken up.
What did they think the cops could do when you are hospital induced under the influence?!
@@s.h.6858nothing cause it didnt happen lol. Look at all their comments, they're just fishing for attention. Most brain surgeries are done under local, not general, and they dont administer anesthesia prior to the OR as the patient has to be alert for all of the double check questions prior to starting surgery.
@@Mike.The.Jeweler why do you hate fun
@@Mike.The.Jeweler My brain surgery was done under general anesthesia, I had a fence screwed in 7 hours prior with 5/8 “dry wall screws”. I am a RN who specialized in neuro and brain surgeries are done both ways just like any other part of your body. If they pre mapped your brain then terrific. TV shows don’t show what really happens. And if one has a milder anesthesia than you best bet those anesthesiologists know what they are doing and how deep they can be to obey motor commands then when done they let them return to a deeper stage until done. Some universities allow ones interested in the medical field to watch. PTSD responses are absolutely real!! Post Covid has left even more people quite a bit twitchy and rightly so.
@jenjenf1996 that's cool, you're not the person I was talking to were you? Thanks for your unnecessary input though, as nothing you said had anything to do with my issues with that person's comments. I've had a dozen surgeries and watched as my little brother had an awake craniotomy. No one is confused by tv or movies in the comments aside from the original poster.
meanwhile i'm lying there helping them get the right vein, suggesting something with a longer and smaller catheter, and watching their amusement turn to anxiety when i don't go down even though i told them how much i needed to be put under effectively. i have EDS.
One question I was glad one nurse asked me before I went under was what past experiences do you have waking up from anesthesia, I replied violently..... she said okay we are ready.... woke up full blown panic attack could not breathe, so I sat up and started to try to get up, a male nurse who didn't hear the previous conversation grabbed my head and slammed me back on the bed 3 times before the original nurse who was turned around noticed and practically tackled the dude while screaming "She has PTSD ASSHOLE" I was so messed up I forgot to ask her name- wherever you are thank you so so much that meant so much to me, thank you could never cover the appreciation I have for allowing me to do what I needed to do just to focus and breathe!!!!❤❤❤❤
It happened to me I was 16 and I was so scared it was my first anesthesia, when I woke up I remember hearing another girl screaming and the doctors telling her to calm down, and I was fighting to open my eyes it was so hard, the nurse came to me and touched my arm… I punched her in the face I wasn’t even completely conscious and a doctor came to help the nurse as I was bitting her and they maintain me on the table, when I finally opened my eyes I cried and I begged the nurse to forgive me as I didn’t wanted to hurt her. 😭😭😭
Bro wtf 💀💀💀
On stories that never happened
@@JohnWestHamIt happened, i was the nurse.
@@JohnWestHamI was the woman who screamed
im the table
My Aunt wasn't fighting it but one time when she had to have an operation she had anesthesia. She was paralysed and couldn't move but she was awake. She could hear every word the surgeons said. They didn't believe her until she said word for word what they said. It was terrifying for her.
I may have said some ridiculous things.... but the nurse told me none of it was in English. I was like THANK GOD🙏
I will never fight anesthesia. A chill, medically induced nap? Best sleep I ever got
I remeber going under and i was really nervous. My hearing got fuzzy and i started crying, i remember the nurse looking down at me and his eyes were the most overwhelming blue, then i woke up and immediately took a real nap 😅
I threw up.
Thats was no nurse it was Dr House
I remember a nurse telling me “you’re all done” and I said “what’s wrong, why are you canceling my surgery?” 😂 I thought i had
never fallen asleep.
I still remember the first and only time I got anesthesia. They were prepping the operating chair for my height and when I was busy looking the other way for one second, he pushed down the syringe! I started to get tingling the next second, my whole body went felt like tv static that it kinda hurt. After that it was like going to sleep.
After they started waking me up, I remember waking up while they were transfering me to the bed from the operating table. I couldn’t see, but I remember hearing the doctors telling me to stop moving, and me insisting I wanted to go to the toilet.
I don’t remember what type of anesthesia I was given at 16 but I was having a colonoscopy and endoscopy done, and during the endoscopy I woke up choking on the camera, fighting the nurses and doctor, trying to get off the table, and trying to scream for help. It took a few nurses and the anesthesiologist to tranquilize me to finish the procedure. My mom said they never told her about that, but she did hear that multiple nurses were running into a room because a patient woke up from anesthesia fighting the doctor. She didn’t realize it was me until quite a few therapy sessions later. I have been asked my multiple doctors to do another endoscopy and I’m too scared to.
I was so nervous before my minor surgery that I had like one hour of sleep beforehand. 😂 Then I was worried about not having enough sleep, because I think I read somewhere that you wanna be well-rested. 😅
When I started to feel the anesthesia; I legit thought, “Oh, it’s you, Sleep! My old friend… 🥰 =immediately knocks out=“ I woke up feeling like I had had the best sleep ever, and was in the best mood ever, even though the surgery was done in, like, 30 mins.
In conclusion, let your last thoughts be of sleeping peacefully and you just might sleep peacefully. 😂
(It was just getting a lipoma lobbed out of my side. It a non-cancerous ball of fat, basically. It had been there since I was 17, but it had started to get bigger over the years and was putting pressure in my muscle, hence me wanting to get it lobbed out.)
When i still was a small child, i got put to sleep to get a tooth pulled. It was a tooth behind my top row, which always stabbed my tongue. Also the tooth had the shape of a shark tooth lol. Anyways, i was pretty awake before, and after i felt like i havent slept in 2 days😂
I'd never been put under until wisdom teeth extraction at 15 because two were heavily impacted, right before I got put under I realized I forgot to ask if I could keep my teeth. According to my mom after the extraction I kept waking up begging her to make sure they let me keep my teeth before passing out again. Apparently I did that over and over and over until she finally just stopped verbally answering because I was just going to jolt awake a minute later and ask where my teeth were for the twentieth time. Didn't know I was still gonna be stubborn while half-conscious lol
