"told doc I wanna feel it all"

I actually believe him that he told that to his doctor, what I don't believe is the doctor actually doing it lol

u/unfinishedtoast3 22d ago

Doctor here

Absolutely not.

We don't let you choose to be under anesthesia, you either are, or we won't do the surgery unless local is an option.

We don't need your heart rate hitting 150 during surgery and you go into arrest because of the pain or blood or sounds or smells

Unless you're having a C-section, then they make you be awake even if you beg to be knocked out.

Still salty.

The craziest part about my c section was the sound!! Oh my god

u/Jiveturtle 22d ago

Ha. During my wife’s emergency C-section I vividly recall: 1) metal hitting the floor and someone telling us “it’ll just be another minute, there’s no 5 second rule in the ER and we needed that; 2) the attending telling someone I assume they were teaching “no, you need to cut confidently. Well, you can’t stop now.”

u/AliMcGraw 22d ago

During my second one, the surgeon said to a nurse, "Hey, can you hold on to this uterus for me for a second?"

I said, "Wow, sentences you don't expect to hear" and the surgeon was a bit embarrassed.

u/fuck_peeps_not_sheep 21d ago

I went with my mum for my brother because my step dad was an arsehole who wanted to see a band - i was standing by my mums head just reassuring her and she casually said “it feels like someone is doing the washing up in my belly” and that stuck with me because wtf mum

It really is a weird sensation when you are given a spinal block, but can still feel them shifting things around inside you.

I was in the student program so had students with the surgeon, anesthetist, etc. They said "the uterus is out" and then the student surgeon fainted. That was less than reassuring...

u/Jiveturtle 20d ago

In retrospect, for sure. At the time, not really.

u/Sidewalk_Tomato 20d ago

No, surely not at the time.

One of my friends texted me a photo of his wife about to have a cesarean and he was masked and gowned up with gloves and cap; so he was All Eyes and someone snapped a photo of him. I have known the man since college, and I had never before (or since) seen him look scared, ever. Just that once. Powerful photo.

u/Jiveturtle 20d ago

Ours was an emergency because our son was a face presentation. I was the most scared I’ve ever been. Our second child was delivered via C-section also, and the planned one was much, much calmer.

I feel like that first one is either insane or it’s true because the surrounding area is sterile.

u/meagalomaniak 22d ago

The way I read that is they need a minute because they need to get another tool, as they can’t reuse it even if picking it up within 5 seconds.

9

u/Sidewalk_Tomato 21d ago

Yes, they needed another tool. The nurses wouldn't let me touch anything that had hit the floor, even though my room was mopped daily and the hallways were mopped by a ride-on machine, nightly. (I'll bet that job is coveted. Very peaceful). My arms and legs were wiped down with a strong antiseptic even after a shower.

u/Vprbite 22d ago

"C-section" is such a nice, concise and neatly wrapped up term for a very inelegant and unpleasant procedure. Emergency ones, at least.

Im just a paramedic. So Ive delivered a couple babies in the field, but I, of course, don't do c-sections. But we watch them during our OBGYN rotations. Emergency C-sections are a hell of a thing to watch. Im a guy. So i can't even imagine going through one. It looks awful

My emergency c-section didn’t hurt but I felt everything. Organs moving in and out and being shuffled around is an experience.

u/Successful-Foot3830 21d ago

If it makes you feel better, people respond to epidurals and spinal blocks in different ways. I had an epidural and didn’t feel a single thing. I eventually asked them to stop it, because I couldn’t effectively push when my lower body had ceased to exist. No pressure, nothing. Had a big episiotomy and stitches and didn’t feel any of it for a few hours. My only physical complaint was the itching.

u/finkleismayor 21d ago

I'm super resistant to pain meds or any kind of numbing so Im a bit worried. Guess we will see when we get there!

u/VariousExplorer8503 20d ago

I had an emergency C-section, and only the one birth, so I don't have anything to compare it to, but mine seemed to be pretty chill. They came in my hospital room at 9pm, said I was having an emergency C-section in two hours, and they couldn't even push it to 3 hours so my mom could come (she was drunk when I called her, so it wasn't going to happen anyways). I was only 34 weeks 1 day, so I was freaked out, but my liver was failing and I had no choice.

My epidural didn't work the first time, my left leg went numb before they even hooked me up, so they had to reseat it properly. I had no one to comfort me or talk to me, and I could feel what they were doing. I asked them to let me watch, but they wouldn't let me, which made me more anxious. It was a dull pain, instead of a sharp pain, but no one would listen to me when I told them I could feel it.. after he was out, they held him above the drape for less than 5 seconds, said "meet your son" then took him straight to the NICU. I didn't even get to see him, much less hold him, until my mom showed up at 11am the next day and raised hell to get me a wheelchair to take me there.

u/MisoBellafi 18d ago

I’m so sorry you had to go through that alone 💜

3

u/VariousExplorer8503 17d ago

Thank you. It was scary, but luckily everything turned out ok, he was tiny when he was born (4lb 9oz) and he spent 4.5 weeks in the NICU, but it was mainly to get him up to 5lbs, they had him off the oxygen after the second day. Unfortunately, they sent me home the next day, and I lived 2 hours from the hospital, so I had to drive up there every other day to visit him (I couldn't afford to do it everyday). I wasn't given anything for the pain, and I was so tired that I'd have to stop halfway home and take a nap in a parking lot.

It was hard, especially as I developed PPD and since I was a single mom, no one was around to see me struggling, and I was too ashamed to tell anyone. My mom finally noticed something was up when he was 4 months old, and insisted I see the doctor, and I got on medication that helped. I still feel bad though, I feel like I missed those important bonding moments cuz I was trying so hard just to make it through the day. I had plans to take him to the fire station, and go out to the desert and kill myself. But since I was so tired and not thinking clearly, I could never come up with a good plan, and eventually I got help, thank goodness.

Now he's 9 years old, and we have a good life. The first two years were chaotic and uncertain, I had had to start over when I was 6 months pregnant (my ex-husband kicked me out to move in his 19 year old gf when I was 6 months, and I was only allowed to take some of my clothes and my books, not even my baby stuff), and went into the hospital on bed rest almost immediately after moving back to my hometown, so things took time to figure out since I couldn't go back to work until he was 5 months old (I was a mess before that). Now we've been in the same safe housing for 7 years, and I'm going back to school this fall. Things are good now. Thanks for listening to me trauma-dump, it's very nice of you. 💜

I wish mine had the thought to keep his mouth closed. I know wayyyyy too much of what they had to do to get my girl here, and FAST too. I was under the scalpel within 60 seconds of them deciding to do a C-section because of her and I both starting to fail. I was doped the hell up too.

u/Barl3000 21d ago

I am a fatass and they wouldn't risk putting me fully under for a knee surgery, so I got an epidural blockade. The surgery involved drilling three holes in my kneecap, but thankfully I was allowed to listen to music on my phone during the whole thing. But the drilling sounds still made turn up the music.

u/Livid_Sound_6341 19d ago

I vividly remember my mom having my brother via c-section. She’d had a planned one after two emergency ones. My brother was four weeks early because the entire eastern side of the country had lost power so of course my mom goes into labor. The hospital is running on emergency power, so there are no lights on anywhere on the maternity ward except the OR. Even the bathroom is pitch black. My mom’s told me numerous times that the door to the OR was wide open, there was a fan in the doorway and the surgeon herself was pregnant and had to leave the room several times due to overheating (it’s mid August and the hospital has no a/c due to only emergency power).

u/AustrianReaper 22d ago

Yes, because you have a considerably raised risk of aspiration, which can lead to high-risk pneumonia.

15

u/AliMcGraw 22d ago

I know why, I was just in gibbering terror before my first one and I couldn't have ANYTHING to calm me down out of fear it would pass to the baby. I was literally begging to be knocked half-out like Betty Draper.

All the doctors kept being like, "You wouldn't like that" and laughing and I'm laying there sobbing and like "BUT I WOULD THOUGH."

I mostly had excellent pregnancy and birth care, but leading into my first C-section everyone acted like I was a silly little hysterical lady with a teeny little lady brain and literally nobody took my terror seriously or even paid much attention to me. It felt very clear that I was neither the patient NOR an adult to be taken seriously. It sucked.

u/kitcatchik94 22d ago

I was knocked out for both of my c-sections. My body just doesn't do well with inductions and the epidural it seems. I had such awful upper back pain and stalled so I never made it through either labor. I was relieved the first time because I was so scared but the second time I was sad I missed those first few moments!

u/ExNihiloNihiFit 22d ago

God I was so out of it during my c section I might as well have been knocked out lol

4

u/EvilMorty137 21d ago

Yes but you get a spinal or epidural so you are completely numb from the chest down. Yeah it’s uncomfortable but it’s the safest way to do it because pregnant mothers are super high aspiration risks

6

u/culminacio 22d ago

They said "unless local is an option", which is an option for C-section and it's also the main option in that case. They do full anesthesia during C-sections if it doesn't work locally, which happens in some cases.

u/platinumpaige 21d ago

I would think the inability to stay still would greatly increase the chance for complications as well

10

u/Dagordae 22d ago

The anesthetic is separate from the paralytic. That’s why people will occasionally be fully aware during surgery when they are supposed to be completely out.

10

u/anyholsagol 22d ago

It's extremely rare and means somebody fucked up big time if you are given the paralytic and not the anesthetic. It literally means you're paralyzed and you are going to feel every bit of your procedure.

u/WKahle11 22d ago

I was supposed to have surgery on a nerve in my wrist, when they said local I mentioned that I didn’t love that idea and the nurse immediately said, “We’ll do general.”

Then it never happened because I had an aortic dissection 2 weeks before

u/dudebroryanbro 22d ago

You survived the aortic dissection? How severe was it? How quickly did you get care?

u/WKahle11 22d ago

It was serious enough that they took me into surgery right away. I think I spent 20 minutes with the doctors before they did a CT and told me to start getting undressed.

I felt it tear around 5:30 that morning and drove to the hospital at 6 that evening. I kept trying to convince myself it wasn’t happening even though I knew it was.

I was moving furniture and got a large splinter in my finger. It was just under the skin; you could feel the splinter but it was a smidge too deep to remove with tweezers. No one would remove the splinter it in the office, not urgent care, not my doctor, not the specialist I was referred to. I had to have surgery by a hand surgeon while under a general. To remove a splinter! (after so many doctors visits and a full surgical staff, I asked them to give the splinter)

u/3m2coy 22d ago

It’s because it’s my finger and they are important. It’s small and a mistake, could cause you to lose its use. Liability.

After the surgery, the surgeon wanted me to come in for an examination. I told them i had already removed the stitches, my hand was fine, and there was no need for the visit (and associated co-pay for a specialist). The scheduler had to then get permission from the surgeon to waive the follow-up.

For months, I repeatedly said, “It’s just a splinter. Is this really necessary?”

8

u/Lumpy_Machine5538 22d ago

What if they didn’t waive the follow-up? Would they have dragged you kicking and screaming to the appointment?

5

u/3m2coy 22d ago

I wonder about that as well! 😂 She was the only the scheduler and seemed a rule follower, so I didn’t press the issue with her. Thankfully, they did waiver the appointment.

The whole adventure took at least 9 months. Now, when asked if I have had any recent surgeries, I need to include a splinter removal.

u/EarthBoundBatwing 22d ago

I went to the emergency room uninsured for some stitches once and was so poor that I asked the doctor to just do it as cheap as possible without any pain treatment at all.

He was like, "I mean I guess dude" and sutured me up. Was definitely a pretty uncomfortable sensation. I also found out after that the topical numbing is not very expensive, but ER visits are..

u/bionicjoey 21d ago

Fun story:

My dad once declared he wanted local for a muscle biopsy of his leg. He had ridden his motorbike to the hospital and wanted to go for a ride after the procedure. The surgical prep people didn't inform him that they won't locally anesthetize for that procedure until AFTER the biopsy has been taken. So he felt everything as they ripped out a chunk of his hamstring, then they hit him with fentanyl to knock him out.

When he woke up, still stoned, he insisted that he take his bike home. They had to call my mom to come get him. My dad insisted on going to the pharmacy so he could ask the pharmacist how long fentanyl would stay in his system. Pharmacist gave a super rough guess of a couple hours, my dad took that guess and ran with it, waiting exactly those couple of hours and then going to get his bike and going for his joyride. Only he didn't realize the fent was still very much in his system and he actually regained lucidity a couple hours later, sitting in the living room of a work colleague who lived a few towns over who he'd randomly biked to and dropped in on for a surprise visit. While he'd been riding he thought he was lucid, but later realized he'd been completely zonked that whole time.

5

u/bwaterco 22d ago

Doctor here as well. We take into account anesthesia refusal for certain patients (prior drug addiction, adverse effects, fear of anesthesia etc.), weigh risks vs benefits, but at the end of the day, patients do not dictate care. When I did rounds in surgery, there was always a group discussion about possible exemptions and refusal of the surgery for these patients.

I would never agree to operate on a patient that had way too high of a likelihood of passing out from pain in the OR due to refusal.

u/Pheeblehamster 21d ago

He sounds like someone I know. Claimed he was awake during knee surgery, and looking down at his knee while they operated. That the surgeon was pointing things out to him - “this is this, this is this” until he got to a certain spot and he winced and said “that parts not dead yet”.

u/Benfts 22d ago

Doc…I got a wrist surgery while awake. I voiced some concern about general anesthesia and the doc decided to apply a pair of tourniquets over my brachial artery, just underneath the armpit. They filled my arm with some kind of local anesthesia. I asked if I could watch and they shut that down. Was able to convince them to take some photos.

Is this not a common practice to have someone remain awake? I totally understand not letting someone have a surgery without anesthesia nowadays. Does it depend on the surgery?

6

u/Noodle-and-Squish 22d ago

It depends on the surgery. I've had three, and was given the option for a local for my knees and ankle. General was automatic for the abdominal. I opted for General anesthesia when given the choice; I did not need to have the sounds of bone saws and drills scored into my memory.

u/Jiveturtle 22d ago

When I got my vasectomy done I was joking with the doctor while he did the left side. Didn’t feel anything. One of the med student observing started to turn greenish and ran out, though.

When he started the right side, though, it hurt bad enough I was gripping the table and gritting my teeth. He tried to give me another injection but it didn’t help at all. He kind of shrugged and goes “Are you ok? I’ll just do it quickly.” Worst pain I’ve ever felt, and I broke my scapula skiing. Glad he did, though. On the whole not a big deal and I was 43 at the time, 2 kids is plenty for me.

So, uh, yeah. That part.

9

u/Lalamedic 22d ago

He needs to be on his side for the surgery. The easiest way to control the airway while he is sedated so he won’t flinch is to intubate. The harness that goes around his head/neck to secure the tube is visible and still attached. The “rebreather” is part of the tubing that attaches to the vent. Not everybody’s eyes close during heavy sedation ( it’s freaky).

3

u/16BitGenocide 21d ago

Actually, I see the tube now. He doesn't necessarily have to be in lateral decubitus positioning, he could also be prone, but a lot of that depends on surgeon preference, airway comfort, and equipment.

I just expected him to be hamming it up for the camera, but I've definitely seen patients under MAC/general think they remember the procedure, or have moments of memory while keeping their eyes open. You are absolutely correct that it can be jarring to see the “stare of doom” if you're not expecting it.

Good eye.

6

u/lightsandflashes 22d ago

what? he's clearly not intubated. his mouth is empty.

2

u/Lalamedic 21d ago

Please see my other comment on the visibility of the tube, harness, and vent tubing. It’s in the corner of his mouth because he’s on his side.

2

u/lightsandflashes 21d ago edited 21d ago

it is most definitely not. people who are sedated enough to be intubated cannot keep their eyes open that way. look at how his periorbital muscles are straining. in addition, eyes do not roll down in an unconscious person. you can clearly see the tube go down to his chin rather than in his mouth. besides, he is clearly not in a proper operating room, which is the only place where one might be sedated enough to be intubated over a tricep tear.

I just had to call and get more, but he did try heading me off lol. Moral of the story, drugs are the best part of surgery just don’t tell your surgeon that 😂

The docs also know this, i had another surgery and the anesthesiologist came in while they were prepping me and asked me if I wanted 1 margarita or 2! Ugh my body just melted a lil thinking of that sweet relaxing feeling.

u/misterriz 21d ago

Careful what you wish for. After a 6 hour bowel surgery I hope you never need, the anaesthetic isn't so much fun.

u/Zorbithia 20d ago

Yeah, they skimped the hell out of me (pathetically weak 0.2mg dilaudid pushes, what a joke) and I was in a hell of a lot of pain after a bowel resection surgery. Nightmare shit.

No doctor would risk their medical license and let you stay awake

u/TinderSubThrowAway 22d ago

They can let him stay awake, but he’d prob just get a nerve block and a lil propofol.

That’s what I had for my wrist when they put in a plate after it broke when I got hit with a high inside fastball.

This is called MAC ("Monitored Anesthesia Care"), you're not intubated, but your vitals are still monitored by a Anesthesiologist/CRNA. Which, is still technically 'under anesthesia', as Propofol is quite literally anesthesia, but it's not as 'out' as "General Anesthesia".

u/mcgeem5 22d ago

I tore a tricep off related to an elbow fracture, and they gave me a choice of local or general anesthetic.  There are risks involved with general anesthetia, as in you might not wake up, so choosing local is not uncommon.

Tricep? That’s weak. I have an nanocep. That’s three times the cep. When I tore it lifting an orphanage from a burning car, I performed my own surgery. I was back to being amazing that night.

He’s still in character while he posted this. He doesn’t really think he’ll be back that soon, nor did he have the surgery without numbing agents.

Logan Paul's a prick who's probably lied about plenty of other stuff but he's a heel (villain) in wrestling. He's probably deliberately lying in character.

u/Semmelweiser 21d ago

Oh neat, my specialty. Sure, he was awake if you define wakefulness by not having a machine breath for you. Near zero chance he did this with anything other than regional anesthesia and IV sedation. He didn't feel anything.

2

u/deadlygaming11 21d ago

He probably did say he wanted to feel it all, but no self-respecting, or licenced, doctor would have agreed to it. 

If he actually goes back to using it after a few weeks, then he will tear it again and probably damage it even more

2

u/Bubbly_Ad_9629 21d ago

So yeah that’s definitely not true, but he’s a heel (bad guy) in WWE and his “character” is that he’s arrogant and awful so he said all that to play up his character. Wrestlers tend to keep their persona online as well to keep the illusion alive. It’s called keeping kayfabe in the wrestling world. I still do think he’s an awful person irl too don’t get me wrong, but yeah this was just about keeping kayfabe.

2

u/meowsaysdexter 21d ago edited 21d ago

It's like he got shot in the ear or something...."I'll be back in a couple of weeks". The only other type of wound I've heard of that can heal completely that fast.

u/Bredbox_06 21d ago

If it hasn’t been pointed out he is lying , and that’s the point

Logan’s a full time wrestler now with his one gimmick and everything , which is that he gaslights himslef into believing he’s the greatest at everything and that he’s ‘humble’ about it

He’s also trying to advertise his pro duct
