Someone told me i can either wake up laughing or crying after surgery, is that true?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not really: While those patients who go to sleep very distressed tend to wake up that way, the opposite is not true. Most patients come awake very gently and slowly. You most likely will too. Talk to your anesthesiologist about your fears before the operation. Good luck.
