I had to help give CPR to someone recently, and their eyes were partly open. Got me wondering whether they were partly conscious while I was doing compressions.
I haven’t had it but my mom did. She experienced or remembered none of the actual cpr but the recovery from bruising and broken ribs was so painful that she signed a do not resuscitate order saying she would rather die than have cpr again.
Saw it done on someone once. If you’re in bad enough shape that you’re getting it, you are for sure not going to remember it. Which is good because it’s fucking violent
I don’t remember it, but I’m still alive 25 years later
and very grateful to Mrs. Sarah Boyd, wherever you are… :')
So you know that thing on TV where they take the paddles and go “CLEAR!” and shock the patient?
I had that done. Was mildly sedated. Didn’t even know it happened. Woke up and went “Did it work?” and the doc was like “Yeah, you already asked that question…”
I really embarrassed myself under general anesthesia when I kept asking the surgeon about one of the nurses I was attracted to. I had no memory of it. He told me about it later.
The worst part was, the nurse was one of my neighbors. She wasn’t in the room for the procedure, but I’m sure someone told her about it, because she was frosty afterwards.
Now whenever I go in for something like a colonoscopy, I’m very worried I’ll say something stupid. I always ask after I wake up, and they always say I didn’t talk. But they might be trained to white lie about that shit.
Yikes. Are you already in a relationship where that could also cause an issue with your S/O? Making them feel jealous/nervous that you would leave for the attractive nurse if you had the opportunity?
Happened many years ago. The neighbor nurse married a creep and they moved away.
