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
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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
Today, I went to the dentist to get a tooth filled. The nurse just finished taking my info when the doctor came in and started drilling. Through my chorus of screams he realized he'd forgotten to numb me. His only response was, "Guess I forgot to numb ya, huh?" while giggling. 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 woke up from my wisdom tooth surgery… while they were still sawing my jaw. I had such a bad panic response that they also cut my lip, so I have stitches inside and outside of my mouth, as well as the haunting crackle of bone being removed from my skull stuck in my head. FML
Today, I woke up from an explicit dream involving my dentist. I'm scheduled for a conscious sedation appointment with him in two hours and I'm terrified of what I might say or do while I'm under. 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, I went to the dentist to get a tooth worked on. I got tongue-tied and instead of asking if they could anesthetize me, I accidentally asked if they could euthanize me. FML
Today, I had to go to the dentist to have a cavity filled. Around halfway through the procedure, something broke the silence in the room. It was my dentist, who had farted. I had to smell his rancid flatulence for around the next five minutes. All the while, I had to keep my mouth wide open. FML
Today, I went to the dentist to get a cavity filled. As the dentist was drilling, he accidentally hit a nerve and I ended up screaming in pain. The whole office heard me and now I'm too embarrassed to go back. FML
Today, I went to get some teeth pulled. I had Novocaine in my gums and lip so I couldn't feel a thing. When the doctor is pulling out the last tooth, he sneezes and pulls the tooth out. He looks in my mouth and I hear, "Oh, shit..." I now have stitches in my mouth. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Switch dentists, and never go back. That's really creepy...

If they're worried about a lawsuit, they probably don't have insurance. What kind of dentist are you going to anyway?

how can he run if he's sedated..? (again.)

Haha everyone's freaking but that dental surgeon sounds hilarious. He obviously didn't realize the patient was awake enough to hear him.

Initially I missed the "come to" and just read it as "come during dental surgery." For a second there I thought OP spontaneously orgasmed, which caused him to wake up...

58- well, I'm glad I wasn't the only one! Lol

I don't think I've seen any user as consistently down voted as jrock.

I was pretty sure that OP said "come", not "come to", that alone dropped the ask time greatness of this FML, but this is still pretty awesome
tman1985 9
I too thought it said come, not come to. Otherwise, that'd be one awkward fetish
adamo_erebus 26
lol #73 you haven't been on this site long enough then :P

Hiya fellas! All aboard the Thought-It-Was-Come-Train!!!
siggy_mcsigx 22
same here, 58! definitely read "come" instead of "come to."

This sounds like a little dentist surgery joke. You should be okay!
burritosrgood 12
Yep

Great comment. Seriously, I don't see why so many people are making a big thing out of this. This is a FML comment, and obviously, the doctors were kidding.
FMLHorrorMan 3
@73, be glad this is not a Yahoo comment. I have seen some posts with the best of intentions receive over a thousand dislikes, and I am quite sure there has been much worse number of dislikes on FML. Personally, I do not see anything wrong with Jrock's comment, so he thinks it is funny, big deal, let him have his fun. It might not have been funny to the person who posted this FML, but come on, you must admit, it does seem pretty hilarious, and I am quite sure the doctors were just joking. I have been to enough doctors and dentists to know what I am talking about, and NONE seemed like the kind to joke about death, at least not in front of their patient, or be insensitive enough to the patient, at least not enough to call them a f*er. @19, dude, that's just low.

I really hope OP is exaggerating. D:
SaintJupiter 16
Great advice.
AnOriginalName 19
Eh. Surgeons are people too. They're allowed to joke and cuss when something stressful happens.
DocBastard 40
No. Surgeons are evil, bloodthirsty ***** who want only to cut people and have luckily found an outlet to do so legally. Wait...what?
TrinityNevada 11
I think that is actually pretty unprofessional. No wonder they have lawsuits!
MikaykayUnicorn 36
#25 although they are allowed to joke around, what they said was extremely unprofessional & they probably just lost a customer.
jw90 18
Clearly they were joking, but that is creepy as hell to say when you notice someone coming to. I wouldn't have taken it well either OP.
ThedaRose 15
Probably not a dentist, but an oral surgeon.
Palirose 22
I don't really think its creepy. I've had surgeons joke with me. Etc they probably just wanted to mess with OP and were not serious at all. Not everything has to be super serious. Lighten up a little
spiritfang11237 16
Honestly I like the surgeon's sense of humor.
vuduguru 5
#41 probably gained another lawsuit to boot lol
Mossears133 15
I get that they're joking, and, under normal circumstances, that's totally fine. This situation, however, combine two of the scariest things (at least for me): dental work and waking up during surgery
Foolys 10
Pretty sure it was a joke, bro.
CreamGravy 36
If they're worried about a lawsuit, they probably don't have insurance. What kind of dentist are you going to anyway?
domking1315 20
Its funny cause your profile picture is of Obama and your first thought was insurance
AnOriginalName 19
Because if someone sues them, their insurance premiums go through the roof and the practice could end up going out of business because of that.
Peachy2392 26
Hey you're the guy whose coworkers caught him at McDonald's. Your picture helps me understand why you don't have many friends and had to make them up.
CreamGravy 36
Why is it that whenever I comment Obama ends up getting so much hate? Do so many Americans really dislike him that much?
Peachy2392 26
I was just joking, not a good joke, but I didn't mean anything by it. I do believe if you comment with a well known political figure as your profile picture, you're going to get some back lash or comments related to anything controversial that they've done.
jkmartinjk 16
I was wondering that when I read it as: 'I started to come during dental surgery.' I'm not sure which scenario is worse.
Bradley_Dillon 39
I almost died when I read that. I thought the dentists were doing something nasty while he was sleeping. :o
GwennaRose 22
Well, OP is posting this from Canada...but this dentist does not sound very nice!
Goblin182 27
Even with insurance I am sure they are worried about law suits. Those tend to make your premiums go up. They also take up a lot of time.
r_bruce69 19
OP should switch dentists but you can't deny that that is just hilarious
Matt_Hazard 16
It's a Canadian dentist. It's government subsidized, so I can assume that the same thing will happen in America soon.
rememberkids 14
actually dentistry is not govt subsidised except if ur on disability (in BC anyway). and even then its $2000 every 3 years. otherwise its private health insurance for you!
MsConfusedd 27
Shit. Well at least you didn't die? And that might not have really happened, the gas makes you confused.
CocaColaPepsi 13
this is a movie! everyone's telling you you were just imagining it because of the gas, but you know what happened, you know you didn't imagine it! next comment add on!
broderickc 13
#20 are you kidding me
MrSassypants 34
#20 I'll add on. The end.
CocaColaPepsi 13
I wasnt going to say the last part, but I honestly knew I'd get thumbed down, and wanted to see if I was right. and noe I get thumbed down again
kaitlynjane 28
There's actually a movie that's relatively similar to this, only the patient was going in for heart surgery. I know, that's not even close to being the same as getting a tooth pulled, but I mean in terms of the anesthesia and waking up before he's supposed to. His conscious then leaves his body and discovers that the doctors are actually trying to kill him because his new wife is in on it with them, and he's some super rich kid and she wants his money. It wasn't the best movie I've ever seen, but it wasn't the worst. I think it's called "Awake."
CocaColaPepsi 13
And now I go hide in a corner and accept my defeat, good day, and good night!
BornSinnerrr 5
i've seen jt! i loved that movie.
roza043 14
Like a wise man once said: "But did you die?" Got to love Hangover.
JaneChemi_fml 21
there was also one where a dentist would fondle his female patients while they were under. it wasn't a porno I swear! these investigators had to gather evidence and lock him up.
vffjvsegb 11
Um run...and probably find a new dentist
stephenseiber1 22
If I was in their shoes and I would do this people are way to serious... And can't take a joke...
k_lylepad 19
I think it's time for a new dentist.
ThedaRose 15
I don't think it was a dentist. Dentists normally don't perform surgery. It was most likely an oral surgeon.
gc327072 31
That's when you tear the gas mask off your face and shout "I'M NOT DEAD YET!" while bloody drool drips out of your numbed mouth.
HarleyBlues 24
I wish I could thumb this up about 15 more times.
gc327072 31
de nada
shaww 28
Lol it's nice that your doctors have a sense of humor... most of em don't even smile
cakefete2 31
Ironic considering they work on teeth.
LowExpectations 30
Unfortunately, dentists are more prone to suicide than any other profession :(.
natheitz 23
Maybe it was a dream
broderickc 13
Totally agreed, this seems like one of the ****** up nightmares I have
