pretty much aware?

My friend had a c-section- she couldn't move or talk but she felt them slice her open -I guess she won't be going under anesthesia anytime soon

@3344utube we have heard of that happening, hope your friend is alright.

If they were safe from being sued, they wouldn't care if you were asleep or not, the cold hearted bastards..

I've never had any problem with anesthesia.

Awareness isn't that uncommon......having the anesthesia personnel admit that it happened is rare....honesty is rare

[RenagadeGirl]

That doesn't help.
