Imagine waking up from anesthesia and instead of speaking gibberish, you start reciting legal jargon. That’s what happened to Lilla Lavanakul after surgery to repair her torn meniscus and anterior-cruciate ligament.
Prior to the surgery, the 25-year-old asked her family to record her, which led to a viral moment captured on her TikTok account @costcowarehousetothemoon.
While coming out of the anesthesia, Lavanakul surprised everyone by reciting the Constitution’s preamble and details from the bar exam, correcting herself along the way. She even joked about the trauma of studying for the bar exam.
The video resonated with many aspiring lawyers who found her experience relatable. As the video gained traction, comments poured in showing support and amazement at her legal knowledge.
Lavanakul was excited about the video going viral, sharing that it became her source of entertainment during the recovery period. Despite some doubting the authenticity of the video, she affirmed that her legal musings were spontaneous and not staged.
