"Yeah, I died."
"You... Died?"
"Well, I got better."
I mean this is possible with modern medicine provided we include death to mean like a very short death before resuscitation lol
Nurse here: This drives me nuts. Patients tell me all the time their harrowing story about how they were "dead for 6 minutes" or however long, before being "brought back to life" and their oxygen depleted brain made them hallucinate heaven, and how real it was. Dead means brain death. Your heart rhythm at the time has nothing to do with it. Unfortunately, explaining this to someone who is trying to explain why they appreciate life now makes you an asshole, so I don't.
Thanks for the info!!
You're welcome. Now I'm going to remain on this soapbox and loudly explain to anyone within earshot, without being asked, why the entire vitamin aisle at your local grocery store is a scam unless you have a clinical deficiency....
