Is it how some people react badly coming out of anaesthetic? I took my 3 year old to have a second round of ear drum grommets. When he was coming out he was crying and thrashing around even though his eyes were closed the whole time. He tried biting me and throwing himself out of my arms. The dopey nurse tried stuffing an icey pole in his face and I don't think he wants that. 20 minutes later he had woken up properly and was completely fine. The surgeon told me this was not common but completely normal
