Waking up during surgery unlikely

There is a lot about this happening everywhere you look.  It can happen and probably happened more often in the past when general anesthesia was improving. In this day and age with the huge improvements in anesthesia and all the monitoring, it is very unlikely for this to happen. Good luck.
