Corrected entry: Before Ben wakes up, we hear the 'beep' of his cardiac monitor, measuring his heart rate, but when he wakes up it continues at the same steady beat it has been going. Wouldn't his heart rate have increased if he had just woken up not knowing where he was and confused?

Corrected entry: How did Ben Grimm change back into The Thing at the end of the movie? Reed's machine was supposed to work by using energy that was the opposite of the cosmic energy they got hit with. Ben was no scientist so its unlikely he would have figured out how to operate the machine, never mind reversing its polarity or whatever.In addition the first time it took him days to change into the Thing not hours.
Correction: Just because a waveform is opposite doesn't mean it won't have the same effect on an unaltered person - sound waves played out of phase will completely silence a sound, which is how noise-cancelling headphones work. The out-of-phase sound sounds exactly like the first when played separately. Secondly, he did work for NASA and may have been able to figure it out, without needing to change any polarity. Lastly, both transformations (using the booth) took only minutes. Clearly the booth works faster than the original storm.

Correction: He's just waking up, remember- and to a friendly face, no less. Confusion would take a bit to set in, otherwise he's just feeling relaxed.
