[QUOTE="Carolina Photo Guy, post: 3876, member: 1556"] April 4th, 2008. I was at work when I felt a little "funny". Having been an Army medic back in the day, I recognized the beginning symptoms of a heart attack. I called my boss, told him I needed to go to the emergency room. 911 may be cool in the movies, but if you really want help, you go get it. Anyway, as we got to the hospital, I died. Flat line, doa, the whole 9 yards. There was a surgical team in the ER waiting for some guy to be transported in by meatwagon for a triple bypass. I had the same blood type and so I was in surgery within 5 minutes. I died 13 more times before the surgery was finished. They zapped me so many times that I had burn marks on my chest. I had a quad bypass with two stents and my wife was told that I probably would not live through the night. If I did live, I would probably have fairly extensive brain damage. We are still undecided about the brain damage, but I lived. THAT is the big one that I talk about. I no longer fear death, we have become good friends. But that also means that I am impatient about learning everything. And THAT, is the rest of the story. Pete ps; I was written up in 2 local medical journals as the luckiest man still alive. [/QUOTE]
