'The gastroenterologist screamed in a panicked voice, 'I'm getting you to the OPERATING ROOM RIGHT NOW! RIGHT NOW!''
Westend61 / Getty Images/Westend61"When I first learned to surf, I got knocked off my board. I was one of those kids that HATED having water in my eyes, and my goggles filled with water. I panicked when I opened my eyes, which stung from the salt water, and when I tried to come up, I hit the board and couldn’t come up around it. I couldn’t see, couldn’t breathe, and sucked a whole bunch of saltwater up my nose. My instructor saw me fall and got me out pretty quick.
"Luckily, my friend was behind me and said that I basically just disappeared out of the light. Another person on our trip saw me vanish, turned on his phone light, and was able to help me back up the hill. I only had a few scrapes and a jammed finger, but I don’t think the tour bus driver even knew how close he was to a drop-off.
"What they don't tell you when they intubate you is that you can still feel pain and your nerves still work, even if you're unconscious. They had to intubate me twice because the first time, they weren't able to gain access to my airway. I passed out after that and didn't wake up until over eight hours later, in the ER. My parents were by my side and later, the doctors came in and explained what happened.
"I flatlined twice on the operating table, was 'paddled,' then 'cracked' and resuscitated. To this very day, I am a teaching case at that hospital as 'A G.I. patient who came that close to death and actually survived.'""When I was 15, I was going with my mom to the supermarket. I was in an awful teenage rage mood for absolutely no reason. We’d been bickering all day and it carried on during the car journey.
