In 2006, West Virginia minister Sherman Sizemore was fully conscious during a bladder surgery due to anesthesiologist negligence. The process went on for 16 minutes until the medical team finally realized he was awake. Sherman was tormented by visions of the event and tragically took his own life.
His family did end up suing the hospital for an undisclosed amount. Rest in peace Sherman.
