Our family has a herditary anesthesia thing-we have lost 2 family members and had a bad scare with 4-we just don't wake up! Anesthesiologists are familiar with it and as long as they know and can avoid certain drugs, we are ok. My son (before we figured it out) had minor surgery at 8AM & was to be home by noon. He woke up at 8PM-the poor anesthesiologist had to stay right with him the whole time. Scary! That is why I think "wake-ups" might run in families also.
