MODERATORS
I think generally, they understand that you’re not in control of yourself. It’s like being drunk, but you didn’t make the choice to drink in this case.
A bit of an assumption on my part, since I’m not medical staff. And of course it won’t be universal.
Surgical tech, here. ^spot on.
We do, however, appreciate the warning if you know ahead of time that you wake up pervy, angry, violent, terrified etc.
For example, I'm a bigger guy, so if I know you wake up swinging fists, I'm going to make sure I'm near your upper body when you wake up so I can stop you from hurting yourself, one of my coworkers, or myself.
If you've got PTSD or something and wake up terrified (we see this with vets a lot - their first thought is that they've been captured), then I'm going focus on cleaning up my back table when you wake up so the first thing you see isn't some big hairy dude; and let whoever on the team is the best at verbal de-escalation take the position by your upper body so they can reassure you as you're waking up.
And if it's your first surgery, we'll adjust as we go.
Like being blackout drunk to the point you're not even aware you're awake, while you're awake
