Sorry to hear about your Dad Max. Does sound like he was lucky to make to a hospital and get the treatment he needed. Best wishes for his recovery.

First time I went under anethetics was to have a broken leg pinned. I had broken the femur in half in a motorcycle incident and the pin went from my hip to my knee. I woke up on a gurney in a hallway failing around with 8 big dudes holding me down and yelling at me to shut up. I was only conscious for a brief second before they put me out with a sedative. Didn't come to again until in my room the day after the operation.

Later I overhead the nurses in the hallway outside my room whispering i was that guy that was demon possessed. All I can remember about the event was that I was demanding to see the doctor. He had said it wouldn't hurt and it did so something must have gone wrong during the operation. I was probably trying to get up to go find that doctor and it was taking 8 big dude to keep me down. No idea why I was in a hallway instead of the recovery room. Maybe I did get up and made it that far before they tackled me and put me on the gurney, don't know.

The second time I went under it was to remove the pin a year later. Woke up in a recovery room with several other recovering patients, a nurse, and a doctor tending us. No drama. Again was only conscious a brief moment before being put out with pain killers and later waking again in my room.
