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

I feel like sticking on "you make me feel like dancing" be Leo Sayer, and dance around my living room naked, except for a russian army hat! Care to join me?

I'd definitely sue the bastard! Are you a redhead by any chance? Because of genetics, red heads are pretty resistant to anesthesia and lately they give those people extra so they don't wake up...?

I don't know who "ladymedic" is, but as a med student, it irritates me that her "facts" are well...not always true. Plus the angry capital letters aren't fun either. I think this sounds awful, however the doctor probably realized what was happening fairly quickly. But until then, this would be a wholly unpleasant scenario.

I find this hard to believe. It's actual common for people to awake for brief moments while under an IV, but it is usually forgotten after you fall back to asleep. If you've been put to sleep before a surgery, chances are you've awakened during it for brief seconds but cannot remember. What must've happened here is either low dosage, the drip was cut off, or the medicine completely failed and you woke up. If you did, you would have had movement over your body and have been able to at least shake your head for signs of consciousness or distress. Being an anesthesiologist, I can honestly say that any doctor worth a damn would've realized this very quickly. Also, they do inject a local anesthetic into your gums no matter what, whether or not you are still awake or given an IV. You wouldn't have been able to feel it, unless THAT failed too which is very slim.

even if chances are very slim it means that it can still happen right.

Yes, it can. But she most likely would've been under local.

Same thing happened to me while having my appendix removed, except they realised and knocked me out even more! Scary things like this can happen!

Ugh, reminds me of the movie Awake. D: that was so disturbing. FYL, OP. But I've had teeth pulled just under local. And I've had teeth knocked out. It's painful, but not excruciating. FYL nontheless.
