I had a heart attack three years ago and the doctor said that I was about 10 minutes from death when I was brought in to the ER.
I totally changed my eating habits and got on a regular exercise program.
Has anyone here faced a truly life or death situation? Did it change you in any way?
The closest I came was when I was in a motorcycle accident in 1994. At the time there was a helmet law in PA. . I was only busted up in a few spots, but there was one hell of a gash and scrape on the top right of my helmet. It's hard to say what could've been if I wasn't wearing one. But now I have arthritis in my right foot and shoulder due to the accident that limits me sometimes. At my wife's request, I don't ride anymore. The helmet law has since been repealed. Go figure?
My life or someone else's? I have done the Heimlich maneuver on a choking coworker. I always thought if someone is choking everyone knows the basics for this and would do it as a reaction. Apparently not. Five people were shouting, "She's choking!" I am the only one who did something about it. That bothers me to this day.
