Where does the “Post-Anesthesia Videos” meme come from?
The term refers to a collection of amateur clips showing individuals emerging from surgery. The main platform is YouTube, where this content exploded in popularity. The identified starting point is the video "David After Dentist," recorded by David DeVore Sr. in May 2008. His seven-year-old son, David DeVore Jr., had just undergone the extraction of a supernumerary tooth due to hyperdontia. The boy, still under the influence of medication, asked existential questions like "Is this real life?". The video was shared on Facebook before being officially published on YouTube on January 30, 2009. This massive success launched the filmed wake-up trend, encouraging many users to document their own post-operative confusion states or those of their relatives.
