What if you wake up in the middle of an operation?

Donna Penner is one of those things that she remembers. Because of this, everything around her can cause a panic attack today.

They were the wrong clothes, locked in a car while her daughter was in the bank. The source of panic attacks is a medical procedure it had about ten years ago, just before the 45th birthday. She had a strong bleeding and pain during the menstrual period, so her doctor suggested that she look at surgery for something wrong.

For reasons unknown and unclear until now, general anesthesia has not worked. She woke up just before the surgeon cut her stomach. Unfortunately, she couldn't signal that something was wrong. It was powerless at the operating table, in the indescribable agony, while the surgeon was ringing “through her body.

She was convinced, writes BBC, that this was how she would die from terrible pain at the surgical table.

Penner still has “dy to three nightmares every night, and due to her prolonged illness, she lost her financial independence”.

“This is an eternal sentence”, says a woman whose experience was really extreme, but new data shows that about five percent of people experience waking up at the operating table, and perhaps much more than most, because of the amnesia effect, will remember nothing about the event.

Some patients are able to raise their hands or even speak of anesthesia as not working, but sometimes it is impossible and results in a small percentage of conscious people undergoing the operation without being able to signal awareness.

Pennere before the surgery fell asleep thinking “where he's moving, moving”. And then she woke up, although she didn't open her eyes. She heard sisters talking about it and felt someone fished in the womb. She was convinced that the operation was over and that she was unreasonable.

Only when she heard the surgeon seek a razor did she become aware that the operation was not over. Next thing she felt was cutting pain. She tried to cry, but her tears failed.

She describes it as a feeling of incredible disappointment, as if someone were sitting in the chest and not letting him move. She tried to move her foot, which she even managed to do, but nurses and doctors did not notice.

Because she was moving her tongue, it was too early to remove the tube, and she was unconscious. As a believer, she says she felt God's presence and had a physical experience. Only when the doctors returned her oxygen supply, she began to wake up in tears, and until now she says she is haunted by a sense of absolute power.

I can have a panic attack at any moment and it's hard for me to see the daily life that goes on in front of me. Because of this, I'm disabled all the time”
