During my grandmother’s c section, she woke up in the middle of the surgery. The surgery was actually led by junior doctors who was just learning the stuff while only one senior was watching. And when she woke up in the middle, they all panicked and they sew her in all weird ways, she said it was so painful even after days because it was swelling from inside. She still has those scars even after 4 decades.

Fun fact! The original anesthesia was Anthrax but then the inventor decided he didn’t like it so he tried some more options and came up with chloroform!
