He only survived because a doctor was on the ward and started mechanically breathing for him. An investigation by the safety watchdog, the Healthcare Safety Investigation Branc- Posted

The report, conducted by medical journal Anaesthesia, found being awake while having a caesarean is far more common than it is with other types of surgery.
