For anyone who’s experienced post-surgical sedation, it’s not uncommon to have foggy or even hilarious memories of the event.
But for Justin, he has no memory of his impromptu dance-off. In a light-hearted post to social media, Justin recounted his strange but funny experience, claiming that he was completely unaware of what had transpired.
“I came out of surgery heavily sedated and have zero memory of the events—apparently, I kept playing ‘Dutty Wine’ and wouldn’t stop dancing!” Ching shared with his followers.
The social media world quickly responded with amusement, and people began sharing their own relatable experiences with post-surgery anesthesia.
One person commented, “I’ve been there man! 10/10 would get my wisdom teeth pulled every weekend if I could. Whatever drugs they give you are the best!”
Another user seemed to foresee Justin’s dance moves becoming viral, joking, “Oh, this totally won’t be remixed within an inch of its life.”
The clip of Justin’s dancing to “Dutty Wine” quickly gained traction, with people reveling in the absurdity of the situation.
As humorous as the scene was, it raised questions from some who wondered about the strength of the medication used during surgeries in the United States.
One commenter asked, “Why does America give such heavy sedation for surgeries?”
While some countries use lighter sedatives for outpatient procedures like wisdom tooth extractions, it’s relatively common in the U.S. for patients to be heavily sedated to minimize anxiety and discomfort.
For some, the anesthesia leads to amusing moments like Justin’s post-surgical dance party. For others, it’s a chance to enjoy the surreal, albeit temporary, effects of sedation.
It’s easy to see why the video took off—after all, there’s something universally funny about someone grooving out to music under the effects of anesthesia.
Ching’s carefree dance to “Dutty Wine” struck a chord with many, and his story became a reminder that laughter can often be the best medicine, especially after a dental procedure.
As Justin’s story makes the rounds, it’s likely that many people will continue sharing their own experiences of waking up from surgery in unusual or funny ways.
Whether it’s groggy conversations, unexpected dance moves, or random proclamations, the period immediately following surgery can result in some unforgettable moments—well, unforgettable for everyone except the person who was sedated!
For now, Justin can rest easy knowing that his “Dutty Wine” dance will be immortalized on the internet, where humor and entertainment reign supreme.
And while he may have no memory of it, his unexpected dance moves post-wisdom teeth surgery have certainly left an impression on the rest of us.
