00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,160
Speaker 1: This is the Fitting and Whip with Kate Richie podcast.

2
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:05,480
Speaker 2: Love to know if you've woken up during a surgery

3
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:07,880
Speaker 2: when you were meant to be out and then all

4
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:10,320
Speaker 2: of a sudden the anesthetic has worn off and you've

5
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:12,200
Speaker 2: gone hang on a minute, but why can I see

6
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 2: bone sticking out of my leg?

7
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 3: I'm not a big fan of beneath. It's just I

8
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:18,520
Speaker 3: shouldn't say that.

9
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:20,600
Speaker 1: Well, it's a very skilled job.

10
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:24,440
Speaker 4: I'm highly allergic to morphine.

11
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 3: Like morphine makes me so sick and nauseous that I

12
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 3: say every Because I've had twelve surgeries and I've said

13
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:36,840
Speaker 3: to him every time I go in, and the last guy,

14
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:39,880
Speaker 3: I said, I can you use pethidine as a pain

15
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:43,200
Speaker 3: killer because it's it's a lot better. And the guy

16
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 3: laughed at the guy laughed at me and goes, oh,

17
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:48,520
Speaker 3: that's no one uses pathodene anymore. He said, oh, look,

18
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:51,880
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, but most painkillers. I'll try to, but most

19
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 3: of them have a little bit of morphine in them.

20
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 3: Woke up crooked as a doult on top of the surgery,

21
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 3: on top of a surgeon, which was weird.

22
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,680
Speaker 4: As well as well as the surgery.

23
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 2: You are feeling when there's been a great chat online

24
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 2: going on about disasters and nightmare stories of people waking up.

25
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 2: One is a dentistry story where they were having the

26
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 2: wisdom teeth up out and woke up halfway through the

27
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:27,319
Speaker 2: surgery to hear them talking about getting tacos for lunch,

28
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:31,039
Speaker 2: So they weren't even focused on the operation. They were

29
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 2: just standing around the bed discussing with the best from

30
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 2: a conversation.

31
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:37,400
Speaker 4: What are you going with? You going with a beef

32
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 4: mint or i'd go fish.

33
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 1: Oh, he's awake. Should we get his order or finish

34
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 1: the operation?

35
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 4: But often people.

36
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 3: Wake up, don't they And they can hear everything, but

37
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 3: they can't move or notify anyone.

38
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 1: How's this one?

39
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 2: Another dentistry story where they woke up and the teeth

40
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,919
Speaker 2: were just getting broken. They said you could overhear them saying,

41
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 2: she's got very twted long roots. We're going to have

42
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 2: to break up the teeth, and they were pulling them

43
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 2: out of the mouth so I could.

44
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 4: Get a dragon tree out of the ground, isn't it?

45
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,519
Speaker 2: Oh my god, it's exactly like getting a dragon tree

46
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 2: out of the ground.

47
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 3: Charlie and Pedstad, did you have a crazy surgery experience?

48
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:19,920
Speaker 5: Hey, guys. Yeah, this is probably back PTSD. So I

49
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 5: was getting weight loss surgery and I was under on

50
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 5: the table. Didn't really like they asked me to come

51
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 5: backwards from ten. Didn't think anything of it. I can't remember

52
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 5: getting plus five. And then I was like, why can

53
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 5: I hear people speaking? I could hear them vain things.

54
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:40,359
Speaker 5: So keep in mind, I'm under four weight loss surgery.

55
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 5: So yeah, people in my stomach, right, yep. I could

56
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,360
Speaker 5: hear them talking about how fat I was.

57
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 3: Oh my, Charlie distinctly remember this. Did you open your

58
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:53,919
Speaker 3: eyes at all, Charlie or did you go back under?

59
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 5: My eyes were taped. I couldn't open my eyes because

60
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 5: they were taking But I was laying there thinking, I

61
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 5: just need to old, I need to say something. I

62
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 5: couldn't move, I couldn't say anything, and I was just

63
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 5: laying there and just like listening to them call me

64
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 5: a fat pig. They were like all these names. I

65
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 5: don't know what to do in this situation.

66
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:15,839
Speaker 4: See, Charlie, you couldn't prove that.

67
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 3: You couldn't prove that at all to anybody, since your

68
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 3: word against their word, isn't it no?

69
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 5: And I won't. I weren't out where I got it

70
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 5: done and they were lovely after the surgery.

71
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: But did you tell them, Charlie?

72
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 5: No, because I came out and I was like was

73
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 5: that just me and myself conscious about how fat I was?

74
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 5: Because I admittedly I was quite big, but like I

75
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 5: was like, did I dream that? Yeah?

76
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 3: You can't really trust you that, Charlie confront them again afterwards, Charlie,

77
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 3: was there a moment?

78
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 5: Well, there would have been, because they come in like

79
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 5: and do bold, like are you okay? Like all the

80
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 5: aftercare surgery, the stuff that they come in aftercare. But

81
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 5: just like I say, I didn't know whether it was

82
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 5: real or not. I didn't know whether it was true.

83
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 1: How scary, Charlie? Has you weight now? Mate? Under control?

84
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 5: I have lost sixty nine?

85
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 6: Key?

86
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 2: Well, well done.

87
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 3: That is a great It's a horrible story, but a

88
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 3: great great.

89
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,919
Speaker 1: At Darren in Penrith, what happened to your dad?

90
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,559
Speaker 7: My dad had the kemea and they used to truly

91
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 7: into his hit to get samples of his pone barrow

92
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 7: and they've done it too many times over a period

93
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 7: of time, and they went in for one bore they

94
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,840
Speaker 7: couldn't get a sample and he woke up as they

95
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 7: were drilling into his chest.

96
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:39,600
Speaker 3: Oh, Darren, each chest, because the thing that I freak

97
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 3: out is that when you do wake up, you instantly

98
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 3: start moving and going, why are you on top of me?

99
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 3: What's happening? And you start freaking out? Can you remember

100
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:49,239
Speaker 3: it distinctly, Darren?

101
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 7: He remember because I remember him telling me clearly as

102
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 7: to what was going on. He could talk to everyone

103
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 7: what was going on. He could feel what was happening,

104
00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 7: but he couldn't feel any paint temptation.

105
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 4: Oh my god, that.

106
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 2: Sound of the drill would be locked into your brain forever.

107
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 2: I reckon, gosh, if that moment happened.

108
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,039
Speaker 4: In Paramount, I tell us about your surgery.

109
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,719
Speaker 8: In so, it's happened a couple of times to me,

110
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 8: most recently about four weeks ago. I was under and

111
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 8: unfortunately I didn't I didn't go to the loo again

112
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:25,719
Speaker 8: right before my surgery, which is important information for later on.

113
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 8: And I was under, and then I woke up in

114
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,719
Speaker 8: the surgery and I could feel that I was still incubated,

115
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 8: and I could feel the tube and I tried to

116
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 8: move and I was paralyzed, and I could hear them

117
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,600
Speaker 8: talking about what had occurred since I didn't go to

118
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 8: the loo. I heard them talking about it, and sure

119
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 8: enough when I woke up, the evidence was in a

120
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,279
Speaker 8: little SnapLock bag at the end of the bed.

121
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 1: Oh, okay, number two.

122
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 4: Do they leave the evidence just to show you.

123
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,719
Speaker 1: Just here's why we suggest you go to the bathroom.

124
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:03,479
Speaker 8: Before I was a little bit, I had gone, but

125
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 8: then I waited another fifteen minutes, which was apparently too long.

126
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 8: And look, they did their best, but my undies were

127
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 8: in a little bag.

128
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 2: And it's framed and they're up in the Pollom was like,

129
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 2: you had an accident like you in kindergarten, and thanks

130
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 2: for your call on your honesty.

131
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 1: Belinda and Lane cove what happened?

132
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 6: I had to have some surgery on my eye. I

133
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,679
Speaker 6: was having some posture problems and so under twilight sedation,

134
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 6: I was having a trapdoor cut into my eyes. About

135
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 6: halfway through the surgery, about an hour in, I woke

136
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 6: up to a blinding light in that injured eye and

137
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 6: water splashing through the other eye and me trying to

138
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,159
Speaker 6: pull the machine off that was holding my eye in

139
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 6: place to operate. The surgeon told me that I had

140
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 6: been twitching on the bed and they'd had.

141
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 7: To move a lot slower through the operation.

142
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 6: And that I had had too much to dation and

143
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,479
Speaker 6: that they couldn't put me fully under. So for the

144
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,279
Speaker 6: next hour I had to be awake, listening to the

145
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 6: rest of the operation and holding the anethetus pan to.

146
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 3: Get through any pain at all, Blinda, For any pain,

147
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 3: there was more.

148
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 6: Just pulling and a feeling just of water. And I've

149
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 6: been awake and knowing that someone was cutting the trap door.

150
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 6: And so it was a very very long hour. The

151
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 6: whole procedure was meant to take an hour and it

152
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 6: took two. Just recently, how positive might have to have

153
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 6: it again, But a PTSD is going to.

154
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 8: Get it in my way.

155
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 2: Belinda, thank you for your calls. Did you want to

156
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 2: show you of a sectory story matter? You're right, just

157
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 2: couldn't believe what they were doing down there.

158
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 3: They're The thing is, there's no way that you can

159
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,360
