What if you can feel everything that's happening - but you can't move a muscle! Subscribe to our channel: bit.ly/Subscribe-to-Brainiac Can you imagine anything scarier than waking up during a surgery? And we’re not talkin just being able to look around you while everything is going on, we mean that you are able to see, feel, and hear all that is going on around you. The doctors standing over you.
