I know what you mean. I've had that happen. Once I was dead for 12 minutes and everybody in the ER was surprised I came back.

holy shit!

dare i ask what happened to you

[Boss Ono]

i've had that, but not when i was in any actual danger; it was a vaso-phagic reaction (sp?) which is basically the trunk and leg veins opening wide, sucking all the blood out of my head. was blind and deaf and outside in the sunlight, and gradually both re-appeared without fainting. thank God.

it's an involuntary reaction

That's how it happened to me the first time. Veso-vegic or something it was called they said. I was donating blood and my pressure tanked.

your AV is for goatcabin

It tunnel visioned to where I couldn't see my peripheral vision at all, only directly in front of me. I kept blinking, thinking my vision would correct. Instead the area I'd vision kept getting smaller and smaller, like looking down a well. Before I lost my hearing, everything sounded muffled, including my breathing then complete silence, yet the TV was on and my husband was talking to me.

It was a night and when they loaded me into the ambulance the dome light or something was on and I was staring at it...watching it going away. The cop would periodically say say'Son, are you still here...stay awake"....trying to talk to me, but his words were coming from a million miles away

yeah, it's weird; i've donated gallons of blood in my lifetime, but this one incompetent phlebotimist kept sticking my arms and hands like a dozen times just for one little blood sample and i made the foolish move of watching her at the end.

that time, i woke up on the floor surrounded by hysterical nurses. luckily, i landed on my head, so no damage done. luckily, i landed on my head, so no damage done.

My neighbor is an ER doctor. Thanks to her and her quick thinking, phone calls to the hospital for ER prep and needed blood transfusions, I'm alive today but before they loaded me into the ambulance, she told my husband to make sure he kissed me. He didn't understand why until he got to the hospital. It was really messed up. Top it all off, it was my husband's birthday.

holy shit!

dare i ask what happened to you

I had an infection under the skin on my inner thigh that was so ballooned and full of puss that it was to painful to walk so I went to the emergency room. The doctor was cutting into my leg right next to my balls and draining the thing. There was so much coming out he was distracted reaching for more trays to catch all the fluid coming out. He kept cutting and cutting and I finally said, "Doc I can feel you cutting me you know." He looked up startled and said sorry and quickly got a local anesthesia needle and injected me with it. Turns out he didn't take time to aspirate the needle and ended up injecting into an artery that went straight to my heart and shut it down.

No. At the time I thought it was just that veso vego thing again from me watching him cut into me. They sent me to heart specialists afterwards free of charge without telling me why. It was over a year later when I was in another hospital getting prepped for a liver biopsy, also done while I was completely awake and watching, recovering when a triage nurse explained to me what happened from my description because she heard of a doctor getting fired for that incident a year earlier.
