Waking Up During Surgery

Scared All The Time

Join hosts Ed Voccola (Rick and Morty, Bless The Harts) and Chris Cullari (Blumhouse, The Aviary) for a wild trip through the world of what scares them.
In the Season Three premiere, the guys put surgery under the knife and explore all the ways we've cut, snapped, stabbed and sliced surgical patients. From the days when doctors didn't know how to put you to sleep for an operation to the modern nightmare of waking up paralyzed, but able to feel everything the surgeon is doing - this one is not for the faint of heart.
