I know...pretty scary! From what I understand, that isn't all that uncommon during brain surgery - a guy I went to school with had to have a tumor removed and was awake through the operation. I don't recall him saying it was too painful (been many years), but he could hear the instruments cutting into the bone and all the other wonderful sounds.

Not sure about you, but I wouldn't have been awake after that.......:o

"awake the entire time, and using only acupuncture and a mild anesthesia to deal with the pain." Thanks fu*$in sick! My girlfriends mom just underwent a brain surgery and she was on so many drugs in was unreal. Her coffee table looked like a pharmacy!

Last year in a course about Hygienics (sp?) at my university we watched a movie from a similar OP., where a woman had eye surgery, because the inside pressure of her left eye kept increasing and she almost turned blind by the time. The CT showed a tumor behind the eye - that's what the surgeons thought.
Now they were surprised when they reached the area behind the woman's eye with their endoscopic op-tools and a 20-30cm long worm was wrapped around the Nervus opticus instead of a tumor! They were able to pull the worm down through the nose within the op-time-plan.
The video didn't show the reaction of the woman after she woke up and was told about the worm behind her eye. I bet she was disgusted, but definitely more delighted that there was no tumor!
