The woman said her screams went unheard because she was wearing an oxygen mask. Her blood pressure rose during the surgery, an indicator of distress.
A woman undergoing gynecological surgery in the United Kingdom was improperly anesthetized, causing her to suffer post-traumatic stress disorder and nightmares three times a week, according to her lawyers.
Lawyers at the U.K.-based firm Irwin Mitchell are representing the woman, who is in her 30s and is remaining anonymous. They told the news outlets she felt the skin on her belly button being cut during the surgery, and remained awake as her abdomen was filled with gas and doctors inserted a laparoscope, a small tube with a camera attached.
Her lawyer, Elise Burvill, told the BBC that the doctor had never performed the specific procedure on a patient who was conscious.
