  • But, ^that after a few rounds of telephone game becomes some horror story about waking up in the middle of a big open abdominal surgery, feeling all the cuts but not being able to speak or move. Can that shit actually happen? Probably, idk…

    It can happen. When giving general anaesthetic there are three components. An anaesthetic to puts you out and makes you forget whats going on, pain relief and a muscle relaxants so that you go limp and don’t try to fight the ventilator when they take over your breathing. If you are resistant to the anaesthetic or not enough was given then you can wake up while still under the effects of the muscle relaxants unable to do anything to let anyone know. Scary stuff if you ask me.
