What a fucking nightmare. I can't even imagine how horrible this would be.

From the article: "Roger Litwiller, a Roanoke anesthesiologist and president of the American Society of Anesthesiologists, said it's important to keep the issue in perspective -- that awareness during surgery occurs only in about one or two of every 1,000 procedures."
One or two of every 1000? That seems like a hell of a lot of times. Jesus. I can't even begin to imagine how terrifying that must be.
