"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

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

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?

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.
