You've had 80 surgeries. Do you often dream during them?

Your parents should revisit the malpractice suit, if it's not too late. Seriously-- civil court is for making sure you have $ to pay for things like a therapist to help you get past this trauma.

Bring up both of these points when you file the suit. His claim is that you were dreaming. Sure. For exactly ONE surgery out of EIGHTY you had a dream that was so vivid, you remembered exactly what he and the other doctors said. No sane judge will believe it.

It's not that you need to bring the anesthesiologist's career down. It's that you absolutely deserve to have someone else pay for the expense of treating a trauma that could have been avoided.

It's why the anesthesiologist has malpractice insurance. It's why doctors monitor things like heart rate and bp during surgery, to ask questions and make sure things are being done correctly.

tl;dr: Many hugs back. I hope you get some recourse for what's been done to you.

Good point.

OP: I am not a lawyer. Get one.

What do you do now (for work)?

I can well imagine so.

I hope you reach your New York dreams someday. There are plenty of crooks on Wall Street-- they just didn't get caught.
