Waking up embarrassed from anesthesia 😳 

My husband went under anesthesia & when he woke up, decided to flash his wang to the pretty little nurse. The next day he found out that the "pretty little nurse" was a 50yo 250 pound native American grandmother. He apologized then she said she'd seen worse lol

That’s funny!!! 😂😂

@@scuzzellbutthahaha…That’s funny!! 😂

I woke up crying and describing the versatility of potatoes and gave the nurse my potato soup recipe 😂 I also remember being very adamant that I needed to pee, they had emptied my bladder and I wasn’t allowed to get up 😂

​@@scuzzellbutt whu did he flash her😭✋️

How long did it seem like you were asleep for?

@@thevikingwarrioridk about the person above but I’ve had 11 surgeries my longest being a 4.5hr back surgery. They all felt the same. I knew I was going to sleep, then bam I’m being woke up by the nurse telling me to take a deep breath. Then as soon as you can hold down liquids and graham crackers and can pretty much hold your own they will 1. Let you go home with a responsible party 2. Move you to a room in you have to stay. I have ptsd after my back surgery I hd at 24yrs old. I woke up in my room in excruciating pain. Nurse said I had my meds and it shouldn’t hurt so bad. I couldn’t do anything bc I was shaking from the pain so she got me an ice pack and had me lay on my side. I laid there crying in pain. Almost passed out from the pain and the dumb as assistant nurse picked my ice pack up and it was wedged between a pillow and my incision, I shoot up screaming in pain. I asked for a manager/doctor bc I needed help asap. I thought I was going to die. I kept fighting with the nurse telling her my iv wasn’t working and she just kept telling me to calm down and wouldn’t listen when I said all my meds were pinched off bc she caught the iv in the lockbox. So it took me 4.5hrs of the worst pain of my life for a doc to see me. He requested the keys and opened the box and sent all the meds at once plus a dose of anxiety meds. I had a fever of 104.3, I made everyone leave but my mom and turned the ac on and stripped all the blankets and gown off and put a tank top on. And finally fell asleep for an hour till she came in to take my blood pressure on the same arm as my iv and blew the iv out of my arm and blood went everywhere. Didn’t know at the time but the reason I was in so much pain is bc the surgeon messed me up. By my 6wk check up he had went back to his home country. I’m 43 now and can barely function. Never get back surgery unless you absolutely have too

@@thevikingwarrior for most people it feels like you close your eyes for a moment and then you open them and are in a completely different environment - which is why people can fall asleep while having a conversation and then wake up continuing that same conversation. they don't feel like any time has passed

@@randombronypony Are you sure that your not exaggerating. I have been under anesthetic 4 times and it wasn't like that.

@@thevikingwarriorcould be different for different people, because I went under 2 days ago and thats exactly what it felt like.

I actully really like anesthesia 🤣

No it feels like you wake up refreshed but I’m about to have a surgery a hernia surgery I’m not looking forward to it

It is

​@@josemartinezz9152me too😂😂😂

Same!!! 😂

My first surgery as a kid was like this, it was 6:30am, so I just fell asleep before getting to the operating room because I was tired and had been woken up at 5am

I was like, so when are we going to start. They're like, it's already done.😮😅

I’m in a fake story challange and my opponent is a RU-vid commenter. Challenge level (impossible)

@@40rollsonly It actually did happen. I was getting my tonsils and the other things I forgot how to spell removed so I could breathe ok

@@40rollsonlyI’ve heard way faker stories, this doesn’t even sound fake

😂😂😂

☠️

Hope whatever you had to go through anesthesia has been heal and you are 100% healthy now ❤🎉

YO SAME AHHAHA

I woke up singing 1,2,3,4 from that old commercial. Didn't realize I was the one singing it till halfway through

aw what a sweetheart

So kind and caring ❤

I could use that even for regular sleep tbh, especially if I wake up after a nightmare in the middle of the night

@@autumnblaze6267 Reality is often disappointing

I was under "twilight" sedation so i was awake but asleep, it feels like when you take the best nap of your life but if they ask a question or need you to move or something, you can do it just fine. I feel like a princess taking a nap in my cloud castle. My anesthesiologist always rubs my hand until i doze off and she will brush my hair out of my face since im not supposed to move while they do the bone marrow biopsy. The anesthesiologist, the one doing the biopsy and the one learning how to do biopsies are all the sweetest ladies and we all have conversations while i doze off and they compliment me on how well i did and everything, its great. Waking up sucks bc i have a hole in my hip from the biopsy and when the meds wear off, i FEEL it lol but i get a bone marrow biopsy once a year and i look forward to my one good sleep of the year

Tmbut you are not asleep , you are paralysed and in a comatose state.

I have had 9 operations in 15 years, one year I had 3 operations in 5 months (not recommended) Everytime I wake up after an operation, I am surprised it is over. As you go from fully awake to unconscious in a millisecond. So you don't remember going to sleep.

best unconcious periods ive had in a long time. wake up feeling refreshed and clear headed. my body is still mostly asleep tho ... dont try standing up right away

"Mom, it's the weekend... 😴"

i asked if i could go back to sleep, after my most recent one ,, like it really hits different. so refreshing

Please tell your mom, thank you! ❤

Bruh I can imagine a nurse just toting around a mallet and waiver papers for patients resistant to anesthesia 💀💀

Hitting people with rubber mallets 🤣😭

Your mom is a Looney Tunes character

A rubber mallet but it's acutualy the accordeon ones that squeaks when you hit something with it! Aurgh that would put me to sleep silly laughing!

Doctors are definitely over worked and underpaid ~ I have head this all of my life, & I truly believe it. They are on call 24/7 ~ for us🧡🌟🧡 G-d Bless Tgese Wonderful Doctors, like you, Dr. K. 🧡🌟🧡❤️‍🩹

😂😂😂

You do feel like you'll wake up instantly!

That happened to me lmao he asked about my tattoos so I started telling him then I woke up telling the wall

They asked me if I liked wine. I woke up listing different wines I liked. Nurse got confused and asked me if I was asking for wine 😂

I woke up finishing the joke I was telling as I went to sleep, staff were confused about "no, I'm Moses jesus is the Rottweiler & he is behind you" I know if an anesthetist asks me to tell them a joke again I'll do a short knock knock one.

I’d wake up and start talking about nitroglycerin lmfao

I remember when I had my wisdom teeth removed. I saw the nurse walk to the corner and turn around with a huge syringe. I said "That's a big- Needle" To me it was like I blinked and everyone disappeared.

Mine was ok with the reboot. The moment I realize I was awake again, I stood up(which scared them a little) and I walked into the waiting room with the Dr. walking next to me. It turns out I have 2 modes. Asleep and awake. Very little is in-between.😂

Nice analogy. With sleep it's more like, whatever was running before you went unconscious will often run for much of the night. It's super helpful to give yourself some positive affirmations just before you fall asleep for this reason.

Sleep is like being powered off. Anesthesia is like no connection lol. Good metaphor.

@@maxwellbeals9584 literally sleep mode vs shut off lol

@@trdestruction6678 I guess. Depends how you think about it.

I also remember waking up asking for bacon cheeseburgers 😂

Aww what a sweet friend ✨

@@saniainezuntil you realize he couldn’t eat the cookies if he wanted to bc he js got his teeth pulled 😭😭 nah that’s a real friend though

@@ethanrutherford7244 drown the cookies in milk, it will be soft enough to eat

Then just waited 2 weeks to eat 'em

That is so sweet! I actually just baked cookies, cause i'll get my wisdom teeth removed on friday, and said to the person that makes the operation that i will bring them cookies hahah I am very nervous tho😅

Yeah the weirdest thing about it was that it felt like a blink of an eye. When you are normally asleep you still have a sense of time having passed, not under anesthesia.

Best news is that you were actually awake the entire time. Anesthesia paralyzes you and causes amnesia. You’re actually awake the whole time, feeling everything, probably having a mental breakdown. Even better, a small percentage of the time, the amnesia doesn’t happen and you remember.

This is not true. It’s true that you get a muscle relaxant, that’s not the same as the anesthesia itself. During the surgery you are closely monitored. If your parameters are indicating pain, the CRNA will give you more medication.

@@mrarchaicworld Why would you even think that? Do you think when you're asleep you are actually awake but just don't remember? haha When anesthetic wears off before the muscle relaxant you wake up, that's why they notice your readings go through the roof even if you are not moving and then put you back to sleep.

Unconscious Rizz

​@@sekai40or unconscious harrassment

This should be a wake up call if your unconscious self has more game then your conscious self😂😂😂

​@AleV69692 that's a fall asleep call dawg

Did you ever ask lmao

Thats horrible, that shouldn't be allowed and you could sue them for breach of care if it terrified you that much

I'm so sorry that happened. It is so heartbreaking how some health care professionals function and the toll it takes on us 😭

@@Dopeychezdog it terrified me a lot and I thought about suing after they almost killed me but I needed my energy to fight for my life, to relearn everything and to survive in my new life! Where I am from suing a hospital or doctor isn’t that easy..

@@EmTheAdventurousPea85 unfortunately, I could write a book about my negative hospital (& docs, nurses etc) experiences and stories. Ofc I've also had good experiences, but the negative ones simply outweigh the positive ones.

@@Dingdongbingaling lol 😆 😂 awesome!

It was probably the ET that made you say that. That shit can hurttttt

this same think happened to me when i was like 5 when i had my throat surgery lol

This is super normal. I did the same thing last month

You gotta be the chillest and most relaxed person, ever, lol!

just like me 4real

Where the fuck were courses like these back when I was studying.

@@stauntssantana Texas State University circa 1999 (back then it was called Southwest Texas State) there was a class called "Magic, Ritual and Religion" I took as an elective in place of a foreign language (I think, this was 24 years ago my memory is a little fuzzy.)

@@clariteyI had a in depth conversation with my nurse about the many ways to consume weed and all that good shit😂

I dont remember any of this either, but in 2021 i was having my fourth heart surgery and they gave me fentanyl... Apparently, i cried, called my mom and said "MOM I'M ON DRUGS! I'M SO SORRY! I DIDN'T MEAN IT"

Everyone needs a hug sometimes and definitely u needed that the most after that surgery.

Do you have any source outside of this anecdote? Not saying you're making it up, just curious.

​@@MartinFinnerupI don't have a source for it either, but it's something I've heard a lot

red heads are built different

​@@SakuyalzayoiTheMaid Technically (genetically) everyone is built different..

This statement is very true. I always need a higher dose than the regular person

Those staff members should have explained the anesthesia process, I'd report them and never go back there.

@@Rotisda it was almost 10 years ago 🤣. i was young and they probably didn’t want me to freak out lmao.

Isn’t that medical malpractice to lie to your patient about what your doing to them?

@@daisymay6505 this was at least 10 years ago. i was young and they probably didn’t want to scare me. not that big of a deal. my parents knew what was happening so they weren’t lying to them. just lied to me so i didn’t freak out probably.

​@@Rotisda Who would be so ignorant as not to know that they will have anesthesia while undergoing surgery... Honestly that is what Google is for, learn all you can, if you care to know. You can also ask the doctor, beforehand.

Holy sh!t 😮

Omg!

What!?! 😢

wait why'd you fight them

​@@desiree2401well, I mean, I didn't do it on purpose. Some people just react violently to anesthesia. The same thing happened to my best friend actually.

Wait you felt it instantly? It took me I think a week to fully feel the extent of my pain. I dont know how I walked after a day when I could barely do so agter a week

Riveting storyline and character development

People in my family come to, but rarely feel the pain. Only one person had that problem. That must have been terrible!

That sounds sweet. 😊

that is so sweet oh my word i’d feel so much better if that happened and my doctor was comforting me

​@@CharlotteMcDonald-w9k, happens all the time. I've seen anesthesiologists spend an hour just answering questions and reassuring the patient that they will be doing nothing but watching out for them. And I've seen them do just that.

Aww that’s sweet

I have mental trauma around laughing gas, I can’t even smell it without anxiety I HAVE to go with iv now 😰

Thats kinda cute

thats so damn cute

mf u can’t even spell surgery tf is surgury

Me too and it’s embarrassing

Tbh, I'm just glad it's not just me. I had a dentist treat me like I'm an idiot when I told him the one time I was put under, I started fighting involuntarily as I was losing consciousness.

Yeah... i punched a nurse twice, i told them i needed more than most people, i have redhair but it only shows in my beard, and im 6'10 and weigh 350lbs. They ended up dosing me with enough to knock out 4 1/2 people, when i came to they told me that i was right and informed me i punched a nurse in the middle of it

⁠@@emer07jiffybro I’m sorry but you’re too damn big to be punching nurses 😭 I hope they’re okay lol

@emer07jiffy damn, that's wild. When it happened to me, I was about 16, 120lbs, and I kicked a doc in the chest before they actually had to hold me down.

Omfg I woke up too screaming he was trying to dig root out. And didn't put me back under cause he was gonna be done in like a minute but that was a loooonnng minute

@@IttyBitty412I was awake the whole time while root removal

@@IttyBitty412that must’ve been painfulq

My surgery ran over the expected time and I was awake for the stitching, it was terrifying.

So true the that feeling of not having control

Same

I remember trying to pull the mask off because the gas was too heavy, then I realised I was pinned down and looked at the nurses and just accepted it lol

Amen, that last second or two where you feel like maybe you're dying and won't wake up. It's not natural to be forced unconscious so our bodies and minds fight it.

lol Me to

Lmao that’s actually brilliant.

Awww

This is very funny 😂

Do you speak spanish in any way or was it like you never learnt or knew it

​@@erdempolat6231yeah bro woke up a savant

​@@FortheBudgiesthats an opinian

I TRIED on my Last surgery.

Damn, what surgery was it?

@@AHHHHHHHH21 My hand suffered second and third degree burns and I had to get a couple skin grafts. That was the original surgery. My hand didn't heal right so the doctor had to break the bone and reset it. He also performed a second skin graft because he realized that his first piece was too small.

I'm so sorry this happened to you. ❤

@@sarbearsleeps333 I thought that was the worst thing to happen to me. But thirty years later while in surgery I ended up in asystole for 30 seconds! It was surreal when the nurse explained to me that the chest pain I would be feeling was from getting CPR! I didn't believe her until I got the after action report. 🤯

even if it’s a short procedure, you’ll be OUT for HOURS. probably all day. i have health issues so i go under for testing a lot and i usually spend the whole day sleeping once i’m on anesthesia. i promise you’ll have a good sleep. you should be grateful it isn’t long. otherwise your recovery will be longer. and it would mean your condition is much worse. so you wouldn’t be sleeping at all probably.

Same.. knock me out!!!

Will remember that if I ever need to get surgery

I just lie there and think "Let's get on with it".

😂😂 Hahah that’s actually so cute lol.

wait does this mean your coworkers saw your butt 🫣 that’s the only thing I think of after a surgery is how much of me the team saw 😭

That’s so sweet 😂❤

My one experience with a twilight drug didn't do anything that drug was meant to do.

That happened to me and I asked them if they can give me a minute to relax because I was scared and they did and it worked ... Operation was over and I was like where did everyone go.😂

I’m still confused cause I think it was the gas, literally fell asleep after taking deep breaths of what they said was “oxygen”. So was it actually oxygen or was she trying to trick me

That's hilarious man, did nobody stop you?

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I got put under for ear surgery, and it was literally the best feeling I've ever had. I've been craving that knockout dragon for over 12 years now lol.

I get it lol. I wanna be tranquilized sometimes fr 😴

How was your experience because I will be under it for the first time in A few months and I’m so nervous

I was scared af crying for no reason and then woke up feeling fine, like oh, it's over? It was like nothing like I close my eyes and open them no time passed Its fine

@@rosynessrose6556 That's what everyone says about anesthesia, so hard for me to comprehend. :)

The longest surgery I’ve ever had was eight hours for scoliosis spinal surgery and the anesthesia literally put my consciousness out, no dreams, no nothing, and I woke up eight hours later, thinking that I had merely blinked my surgery away. I was only eleven years old, so I didn’t quite comprehend the extent of the surgery, but I got to choose between them putting laughing gas on me before they gave me the shot that would render me kaput for the surgery. I chose the laughing gas and my last few milliseconds before I went out smelled really bad (the team said it was supposed to smell like strawberries, and it did before the last few deep breaths). Before I went out though, I told them to disregard me if I say or do anything dumb. 😂

Anyways, it’s all right if you’re scared. I might have to get my scoliosis fixed a second time, and as an adult who is learning about all the components of a successful surgery and the team of DRs and Nurses behind that, and I’m feeling much more vulnerable about the whole situation than my eleven year old self ever did. 😅 ❤

oh my god that’s my biggest fear, being too awake during surgery. did they get in trouble? did you say anything about it and if you did what was their reactions? i would’ve sued smh

You should get that check probably one of those immune to it or something

Were you awake the whole time? You should of sued them. Best wishes

Sounds like this would be me also if I was given that option or my hands be shaking 🫠

​@@kingloz36Good luck!! my stepdad needs the same thing from a herniated disc in his back.

​@@kingloz36ask the surgeon when the time comes. Every experience is unique. Yiu don't want to feel 'duped' when your experience is different. 'But, but, the person on youtube told me something different!'. Before surgery, ask your doctor as many questions you can come up with. Go with the flow. Wishing you all the best and a speedy recovery😊

@@shyryTsr2k same! I have two herniated discs that developed into spinal arthritis 😭

What did they think the cops could do when you are hospital induced under the influence?!

​@@s.h.6858nothing cause it didnt happen lol. Look at all their comments, they're just fishing for attention. Most brain surgeries are done under local, not general, and they dont administer anesthesia prior to the OR as the patient has to be alert for all of the double check questions prior to starting surgery.

​@@Mike.The.Jeweler why do you hate fun

@@Mike.The.Jeweler My brain surgery was done under general anesthesia, I had a fence screwed in 7 hours prior with 5/8 “dry wall screws”. I am a RN who specialized in neuro and brain surgeries are done both ways just like any other part of your body. If they pre mapped your brain then terrific. TV shows don’t show what really happens. And if one has a milder anesthesia than you best bet those anesthesiologists know what they are doing and how deep they can be to obey motor commands then when done they let them return to a deeper stage until done. Some universities allow ones interested in the medical field to watch. PTSD responses are absolutely real!! Post Covid has left even more people quite a bit twitchy and rightly so.

@jenjenf1996 that's cool, you're not the person I was talking to were you? Thanks for your unnecessary input though, as nothing you said had anything to do with my issues with that person's comments. I've had a dozen surgeries and watched as my little brother had an awake craniotomy. No one is confused by tv or movies in the comments aside from the original poster.

I feel like that's a tad bit illegal to not tell you what they used

Eurgh what an unpleasant experience 😱 Think I'd be fearing another one forever if that happened to me...

I think that’s very common they are ruthless with the tubes

Some folks just don't react as well to anesthesia. If you have to go under again, make sure they know what happened last time. There may be things they can do to reduce the chances of it happening again.

When i still was a small child, i got put to sleep to get a tooth pulled. It was a tooth behind my top row, which always stabbed my tongue. Also the tooth had the shape of a shark tooth lol. Anyways, i was pretty awake before, and after i felt like i havent slept in 2 days😂

I'd never been put under until wisdom teeth extraction at 15 because two were heavily impacted, right before I got put under I realized I forgot to ask if I could keep my teeth. According to my mom after the extraction I kept waking up begging her to make sure they let me keep my teeth before passing out again. Apparently I did that over and over and over until she finally just stopped verbally answering because I was just going to jolt awake a minute later and ask where my teeth were for the twentieth time. Didn't know I was still gonna be stubborn while half-conscious lol

I threw up.

Thats was no nurse it was Dr House

Me too especially since i had to be narcaned awake from my last surgery. I still dont know what happened. I probably shouldve investigated but it's not like I can afford a lawyer

Not waking up from blissful anesthesia would be my first choice on how to go.

how would you inow?

@@FortheBudgies same

I totally understand how having surgery puts us in a place of complete vulnerability. I think everyone ignores this like it's the elephant in the room. I think the first thing anyone should say is we understand how difficult it is to experience this kind of vulnerablity and this is how we are going to help reduce your vulnerability during this surgery when we check in for surgery or even during the pre-op visit with our surgeon. Almost everyone's fears expressed in these comments are really about vulnerability, which we are hard wired to avoid. It is the elephant in the room at every surgery and ignoring it creates tension. Acknowledging it can burst that tension. Giving patients education on things they can do to self regulate through feelings of vulnerability and steps they can ask for that will actually reduce vulnerable situations. There are surgical undergarments for instance that may really ease some people's anxiety. Keeping your own freshly laundered undergarments on for as long as possible and maybe even until after your are asleep may be possible. Especially if you say they can just cut them off and discard when necessary. I think I woke up from my hysterectomy with special absorbing disposable underwear to catch post op bleeding. Why not ask to have those put on you before you wake up? Come prepared with questions for your anesthesiologist on how they will be prepared to not kill too accidentally. They come and give took the chance to ask questions. I don't say much other than are you prepared for a red head and can I please have that shot that relaxes me right now? Just a little bit? Advocate for yourself. You deserve this. You deserve to feel as much trust for your doctors as possible. Also, here's a truth to consider. Even if they don't give a shit about you as a person. Their egos and pocjets are fed by successful surgeries with successful outcomes. It is in their best interest to give took the absolute best care possible.

if you were able to control every cell in your body, then you would have a right to say "nah, I'd win"
