POV: You're too shy to tell the medical staff that you just woke up during surgery.
  • I also had local anesthesia when my wisdom teeth were removed. I had 4 of them, like most people. Still was a horrorshow for me, because I didn't manage to stop the bleeding after the removal. Ended up in the ER because I swallowed too much blood. Was my own fault, and I hope I learned from it to follow medical instructions more.

  • I think I have to clarify something. The whole thing was not as bad as it sounds. I had a local anesthesia in my arm (which was operated) and was sedated with propofol (i think). My focus wasn't as much on waking up, which i guess from the comments can just happen. It was more on my inability to speak up if something is wrong. Maybe they even noticed, and thought its alright. There was no pain, just an unsettling feeling.
