Well, that’s why I asked. I didn’t know.
That guy desered something, this lady left for 40 minutes? Not so sure.
As others have said on the thread, anytime a patient is “out” or having general sedation for surgery, they have to be monitored every single second. Lots of people wake up in an altered state—some combative (very few, but some) some vomiting uncontrollably, some weeping for no reason, some having difficulty with breathing, some badly disoriented, some just fine.
If I woke up alone after a surgical procedure in a dark office, locked in, completely alone, I do think I’d sue.
This is inexcusable.
