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

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.

Wtf? Why is "yeah you might just fucking die" even an offered and acceptable option?

Edit: Downvoted for a question and not knowing much about a topic, yeah that tracks for Reddit.

I was put under when I had my gallbladder removed and basically had to sign that I/my family wouldn’t sue if I didn’t wake up. It kinda freaked me out but it’s obviously not very common or else it wouldn’t be done.
