Awake during surgery: 'I'm in hell'[views:2062][posts:8]________________________________________ [May 17,2010 11:49am - boblovesmusic ""] (CNN) -- When Carol Weiher was having her right eye surgically removed in 1998, she woke up hearing disco music. The next thing she heard was "Cut deeper, pull harder." http://www.cnn.com/2010/HEALTH/05/17/general.anesthesia/index.html?hpt=T2 also kinda brutal |

It's a look into capitol punishment, and whether or not any of the methods still in use are humane (which he defines as not-gory, not-painful) or if there are other methods that science can offer that would be better. Shortly into the documentary they looked into lethal injection. It seems that there are 3 drugs that are pumped into the system for it to be complete. First is a drug used for short term unconsciousness, then a muscular paralytic, then a drug to induce cardiac arrest. It seems that the second drug is also used in surgery so that the muscles don't react when you cut into them. That's where this lady comes in, i guess she had surgery where they used the same first two drugs as they do in L.I. for her surgery, and when the 2nd drug was administered, she came awake... totally paralyzed. She could feel everything, yet she was unable to react. She says that drug (the muscular paralytic) feels like burning jet fuel flowing through your veins. gross. |
