A 19-year-old woman in Poland woke up during brain surgery and asked her doctors how the operation was going.
Iga Jasica, 19, was midway through the procedure to have a cancerous growth removed from her brain when doctors say she woke up because the anesthetic wore off. Her brain was exposed, but surgeons say her health was not in jeopardy,
Fox News reports.
While chatting with doctors during the procedure, Jasica reportedly asked how the surgery was going and talked about cats.
Doctors are investigating whether the anesthetic may have been improperly administered.
