Robocop

 Lose The Arm has got to be the most horrific scene in the series 

People have noted the parallel to Six Million Dollar Man 

Steve wakes up and learns he has only his left arm remaining 

Rudy explains it to him and we see the heart monitor 

He tries to kill himself at night and the nurse saves him 

He begs to die

 Rude shows him the bionic arm and he rejects it, turns away 

Alex is waking up to exact same situation 

So we know what Steve went through, what the realty is for someone 

In this case he cannot move or speak , he can just see and hear 

Then the order to remove the arm 

The boss gives the order and then walks away

 The med team have to proceed

 The instruction to put him back under, so the arm can be removed 

Leaving him to wake up limbless 

The silent scream that nobody hears
