Silent Agony: A Nightmare of Anesthesia Awareness

Attention. A teenager in Japan woke up during surgery but couldn't move or scream.

The anesthesia paralyzed her body but left her mind awake. She felt every cut, every stitch,

trapped in her own flesh. Doctors had no idea she was conscious. For forty minutes,

she endured silent agony, screaming internally while her body lay still on the operating

table. When she finally regained movement, she couldn't speak for days.

The psychological trauma haunted her for years. This nightmare condition is called anesthesia

awareness, and it happens more often than hospitals admit.
