Awake during surgery: 'I'm in hell'

"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.'
"Although general anesthesia is commonly used, doctors do not know exactly how it works."
One or two people of every 1,000 wake up during surgery. I guess that might be a comforting thought… or not.
