My Favorite Medical Drama- AWAKE (2007)

Close your eyes and imagine that you are in the operation theatre, having an operation. You are lying down, surrounded by a special group of doctors. Your body is being cut and you feel everything but you can't say anything, can't move, how helpless will you feel then?

Yes, such incidents are rare, but they do happen. Anesthesia is administered to approximately 21,000,000 patients each year. And most of the patients don't have much problem in this regard but out of these 2 crore 10 lakh about 30 thousand patients have to go through this unbearable thing, that is 1 in 700 people on an average. This is called 'anesthesia awareness'.

Two medical departments are needed to perform any operation on the human body.

1. Surgery: This department houses surgeons, who perform operations.
2. Anesthesia: This department houses the anesthesiologist, who anesthetizes the patient before the operation, and simultaneously keeps the patient pain-free and paralyzed with various drugs. Through this, the patient cannot feel anything during the operation, just sleeps like a normal sleep. The difference with sleep is to say simply that in sleep we feel pain and can move, but in anesthesia they do not understand anything. Through this, the patient cannot understand anything during the operation.

But during our normal sleep, sometimes we have a sleep that we call thin sleep, which means that even during sleep, we feel many things, such as whether someone has entered our room, or someone is talking next to us. Again in deep sleep we do not understand anything.
According to the document, about 1 in every 700 operations occurs where the patient is completely unconscious but can understand things, such as hearing what the doctors are saying in the operating theatre. Sometimes it hurts a little, but can't move. About 60,000 such cases are documented worldwide each year.
Imagine that you are undergoing an operation, your skin is being cut and your internal organs are being cut and you are conscious but unable to speak or move, how would you feel.

The answer to all these questions will be known at the end of the movie, can Clay really be saved, how can he be saved? Why does Jack not want to save her? Why does Sam want to let him die?

IMDB rating of the movie : 6.5 but I like the movie quite well, the movie picks up the first pace from the middle and a thrill comes.

The 'anesthesia awareness' thing is terrible, some patients become mentally disturbed, some even commit suicide, and there are cases of filing cases against doctors in this list. However, the director introduced Munsiana by making such a thriller movie by making this subject alive.
This film holds only Golden Trailer Awards.
I will not open the list of nominations.
But that goes without saying, the pair of Jessica Alba and Haden Christensen received a Razzie Awards 2008 nomination.
