I took it upon myself to do a little research on Pam Reynolds' case.
1. She was intubated for a considerable time after regaining consciousness, and did not begin to relate her experience for some time after that.
2. Her surgical team discussed/described the procedure to her before the surgery.
3. When she regained consciousness (remember - still intubated and so could not speak), her surgeon reviewed the surgery with her again.
4. More than one anesthesiologist has reviewed the case and concluded that her experience was something called 'anesthesia awareness', which, while not exactly commonplace, isn't frightfully rare, either.
While I don't doubt Ms. Reynolds' sincerity (meaning I don't think she was deliberately lying), I don't really see the need for a non-prosaic explanation of what happened to her.
