Interesting concept. If I had to be awake for a surgery, I think this would also help me avoid freaking out regardless of pain. If I'm semi-aware of what's happening to me, my brain goes places and I am likely to have a mini panic attack...simple things like a local injection of anesthetic for a mole Biopsy is enough to make me want to pass out. Texting someone or doing something "normal" would be rather comforting I think, if only to keep my mind on something else.
