[Music/Health] Patient Sings, WHILE HAVING SURGERY in Order to Save Voice - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Squad1993;45131735]Most of you who had your wisdom teeth removed,like me, were "awake" for the procedure. Youd be knocked out basically but be somewhat conscious enough to respond to simple directions, not remembering a thing after. Medical technology is pretty cool yo.[/QUOTE] My local anesthetic wore out on the fifth tooth and was mostly gone on the sixth. I felt everything,

[QUOTE=AK'z;45130431]I've had surgery while awake and it's pretty cool, very relaxing too because you see all these sharp things poking you but you feel godlike when you don't feel the pain. :)[/QUOTE] I've had surgery without anesthetics before and it was the most painful fucking thing ever, even though the doctor offered to freeze the part he was operating on. I felt like such a man afterwards.

[QUOTE=Ogris;45130422]Unless you specifically ask to be put to sleep (or HAVE to be put to sleep) they just paralyze the part of the body they're working on most of the time. Anaesthetics are a bitch to get right.[/QUOTE] You're significantly more likely to die if you're put under anesthetics than when you're not, so it's never recommended.

My mum had a large melanoma removed with only a local, apparently it kept wearing off when they were cutting it out of her back and she said it was the most horrible thing she had ever experienced because she felt them digging into her back and cutting around, and got nightmares for years about it. Moral of the story is, if you're having shit cut out you better get knocked the fuck out

Had to recently go through a surgery to fix spontaneous pneumothorax. Its when your lung collapses, and the air that escaped prevents it from re inflating. They put me under the first round, but screwed up and didnt cut all the way through, so they had to do it again while i was awake. It was absolutley horrible feeling them cut through your chest. You could hear them cutting and opening up a hole for the tube along with the grinding when they hit my rib. I wouldnt wish it on anyone.

[QUOTE=Grazony;45131926]I remember getting my wisdom teeth taken out. It was like popping a cork honestly, except for one that was stubborn and had to be cut into four pieces to be removed, I can still feel the drill vibrate.[/QUOTE] I had the same experience with one of the two I had out. The crunching and cracking sounds as the teeth are being pulled out is horrendous, to be honest. Very disconcerting. I was worried they'd break my jaw pulling them out (happened to my uncle).

I mean of course that's often part of it, but every time you go under anesthesia you always run the risk of never waking up again. That doesn't exactly happen often at all, but there are complications occasionally, so why bother taking the risk in the first place? Sure, it's not exactly a pleasant experience being awake and hearing that go on, but local anesthetic isn't going to kill you under any conceivable circumstances whereas a general anesthetic might.

Christ it felt horrifically unnatural when they had to cut into my toe to remove some nail, I can't imagine anything more.

Even just getting a filling under local anaesthetic was too much for me. Shit feels fucking weird. Although, I think the anaesthetic didn't work cuz at one point, my dentist knocked a nerve at the root of my tooth with his drill and it really, really hurt.

And yes after the anaesthetic wears off it does ache like a word that cannot be described.
