Today, I got my wisdom teeth pulled. Apparently the medicines don't work on me. I woke up in the middle of the surgery and felt EVERYTHING. One of the nurses asked if I was okay, and the doctor just kept saying "Don't worry she's just dreaming", while tears were pouring down my face. FML

Oh, so just because something happens in a movie, it can't happen in real life? So just because, say, Juno is a movie, there aren't teen pregnancies? Not everything is related to your television.

Pretty good point, thank you

Holy fcuk! Dude that sucks

I'm pretty sure your eyes water because of the anesthetic. So it's likely they didn't know what was going on. But I'm really, really sorry dude.

DAMN! that's probably the worst thing one can imagine! being accidently tortured and having no chance to stop it, because the people keep thinking you're asleep. FYL

This is a really uncommon occurrence, but it does happen. Still: LOCAL ANESTHETIC: Doctors (and dentists) generally know how much to administer to a patient depending on body weight, age, etc. While paralysis can happen, it is a very low chance of this happening, which makes me disbelieve this 'FML'. GENERAL ANESTHETIC: Wouldn't the debntist not see you where awake? Eyes open? I'm sorry if this DID happen, but this sounds very, very, VERY farfetched. ALSO: This happened in the movie 'AWAKE' that many other commentors are refering to

With general anaesthesia, you are (usually) COMPLETELY unconscious. But you're body is paralyzed so some people, altough it is rare, will "wake up" during the procedure (or perhaps never really fall asleep at all). When they wake up they are conscious, but remain paralyzed until the end of the surgery. So no, the doctor would NOT see her eyes open, because she would not have the ability to open her eyelids.

Umm... This wouldn't happen because they monitor your heartrate throughout the procedure.

Omfg OUCHHH

Wow, ever seen the movie "Awake"?

you know sometimes movies are based on real things that happen, just because it was in a film does not mean it was copied from that film. Plus i thought awake was about some sort of other surgery not dental surgery.
