A heart surgeon describes horrifying details of patients he has treated over the years. His first story was about a woman who woke up mid surgery and tried to move while her chest was open and he was trying to perform open heart surgery.  He explained these incidents online where some respondents even shared their own stories of the operating room.

Another patient described remembering waking up during a tonsil surgery, but he recalled what happened during a nightmare.

It’s an alarming truth for anyone who has ever gone under the knife. How would you know whether you slept through the whole procedure?
One such victim of sloppy drug administration was a user named ‘luckynumbersevelyn’ who posted: ‘I woke up at the very end of my tonsil surgery.
‘The breathing tube was still in and the nurse yanked it out like it was a rip-cord after freaking out that I was awake.
‘I didn’t remember right away, which actually was more traumatic because I remembered while I was half-asleep through a nightmare.’
Horror stories continue throughout the feed, including one user who woke up mid-appendix surgery. ‘I remember hearing the ripping of tape and feeling them stick it onto my cheeks,’ he wrote.
‘Then came the scalpel. I was trying to scream, trying to open my eyes, trying to move, but nothing. I could hear everything and feel it too’
The surgeon set up the AMA on Saturday, with the opening line: ‘I have killed several people, with no resentment. AMA to find out how and why.’
Asked what it was like to have someone die on his operating table he wrote: ‘First time was really bad for me, couldn’t sleep for about two days.

Really terrifying what may or does happen in operating rooms.
