Today, I was operating on a young girl, when she began to awaken during the surgery. We quickly put her back under, of course, but now I'm terrified that she'll remember my profuse cursing and get me in the shit with my curmudgeonly killjoy of a boss. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I started to come to during dental surgery. I clearly heard someone behind me say "Shit! Get this fucker back under!" then another person mentioning they'd have to kill me to avoid "another lawsuit", followed by laughter and the blackness of sleep. FML
Today, my surgeon was giving me the lowdown of what was going to happen on the operating table. I was anxious enough without him saying stuff like "cut you open", "quite a bit of blood" and "it's all quite risky." That's all I remember before fainting. My wife won't stop mocking me for it. FML
Today, I heard my surgeon mutter to a nurse how easy it would be to kill me on the operating table and make it look like an accident. FML
Today, my boss told me she had a nightmare where her life depended on me, and I let her die. Now I'm ridiculously paranoid that I'm going to get fired at any second. FML
Today, my surgeon was talking to me about my upcoming heart bypass operation. I was extremely nervous from the start, but he somehow managed to keep saying things like "death", "fatalities", "high-risk", and "never wake up" throughout. FML
Today, I went into hospital for knee surgery. When I awoke, I was surprised to find a bandage wrapped around my throbbing head. The nurse explained that a student observer had fainted in the operating room and his head had smashed against mine on the way down. FML
Today, my boss put me on suspension, a week after granting a subordinate time off to recover from surgery. When I signed the paperwork, I was too embarrassed to admit I didn't understand her writing, which apparently said she was getting treated for "dangerously low levels of dick". FML
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
Today, I was at the dentist getting a cavity filled. As she's drilling into my tooth, I feel the drill slip, and then she quickly stuffs gauze into my mouth. She nervously laughs and says to me "Wow! You must really be numb!" FML
Today, my boss yet again said she was "literally dying", after she watched a funny video online. Long story short, I'm now on her shitlist because I couldn't help but point out that she clearly wasn't dying, and that her ranting was distracting me from doing actual work. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Surgery must be pretty stressful. There's a lot of pressure involved. If anyone should be allowed to swear at work, it should be a surgeon.

I've had over 40 surgeries and I've had that happen to me. Some of them I think we're dreams, others I KNOW were real. Pretty creepy though.

I have an incurable but treatable brain problem called Hydrocephalus. Because of this I've had a lot of surgeries. Sometimes it sucks but hey what are you going to do? :) just think of the people that are worse than you.

That would be letting you off too easy. Sounds like a malpractice suit is in order.

How the actual **** does this warrant a malpractice suit?

That's not malpractice! Nothing bad happened to her except she heard some curse words she probably uses everyday! Yeah waking up during surgery sucks but it's not his fault

**** you, the girl hearing the man who may have saved her life curse is grounds for a malpractice lawsuit? It's dickheads like you that make people scared to have careers in the medical field.

Would anyone really rather have a surgeon who wasn't very concerned in a situation like that?

I read cursing as cutting and immediately felt scared of surgeons

That's better than her remembering her body being wide open on a cutting table. Yeah, I'm sure your cursing is what will give her a lifetime of night terrors.

Patients waking up in surgery happens, and in the long run, it shouldn't be that big of a deal. She didn't die- that's what is important.

Holy crap I would of freak out if i woke up during surgery ...more like FHL

No, you actually wouldn't. The remaining anesthesia in your body would prevent you from doing that.

Oh, I didn't know that .. makes sense! Thanks
