Traumatised patient relives hospital nightmare after she woke up during operation

Alexandra Bythell, 36, came round minutes before surgery to remove her appendix at the Royal Blackburn Hospital in Lancashire.

"I woke up, thought I was in recovery. Everything was black. I started trying to breathe and that was when I knew something was wrong, because I couldn't get any air into my chest," she told ITV's Daybreak.

She described how she felt someone poking and prodding at her abdomen before there was a shout for more morphine and she fell back asleep.
