I also woke up during my wisdom teeth extraction. Likewise don't remember any pain, just being shaken as they tried to extract one of the teeth.

Contrast that to my first eye surgery, for which I was completely awake, and the local anaesthesia wore off. That was hell. Excruciating pain while the doc had various instruments in my eye. I voluntarily stopped breathing as I clenched against the pain. Set off all sorts of monitors. The whole stress of it and the swelling in the eye had me blind in that eye for nearly 3 weeks. First week was total blackness. Slowly started fading back in as the swelling went down. Very disconcerting.

Second eye surgery, made clear what happened and the doctor was far more liberal with the anaesthetic both before amd during surgery and I had no pain and minimal swelling and near perfect vision immediately out of the OR.

I also woke up after a wisdom teeth extraction, while still intubated, choking, and remember the nurse pulling out the tube quite painfully (for me) while I was gagging.

The asshole anesthetist denied it happened.

That happened to me too. I thought that was normal procedure?
