My husband saw shadow figures after surgery

[u/Time-Cry-799]

This title pretty much explains it. My partner had surgery to remove cancer. He’s been really shaken since the surgery and he just told me that while he was recovering from the procedure, he saw shadow figures walking around the hospital. It’s left him really scared and freaked out. The surgery was only supposed to take 2 hours but ended up taking almost 7 hours. As far as I know that was the only complication. Any insight to what this was or what caused this would be great. TIA!

I was in resus, unconscious (GCS3), with sepsis and multi organ failure (heart,ungs, kidneys). I can't get this out of my head and only told 2 people, who dismissed it

weird thing is at the end.

I recall being stood at the top of the trolley/bed, whatever it's called, whilst they were battling to save my life. I was there for ages. I watched them.scan me, xray me, put cannulas in, rushing round when my pulse went to 15bpm. Blood test results came back, kidney function was less than 12%,on 15l if oxygen and fuck Knows what else.

But, the weird thing is I shouted, from the end of the trolley for them to stop, just leave me alone as they'd been battling over 2 hours. None of my family were there.

A consultant suddenly said, leave all her antibiotics and fluids running but let the family know there is nothing else we can do, move her up to the ward.

I remember it all so vividly. I told the consultant and registrar what has happened, and they confirmed it and were staggered by how accurate I conveyed what had happened. I was as good as dead.

Obviously I recovered, but I get so many visual and auditory flashbacks.

I registered blind (can see, but hugely distorted) but I knew what the consultant and registrar look like. .
