  1. I had an allergic reaction to my blood pressure medication. The ER nurse and physician told me to, "say your prayers you should not survive" and "you're minutes from death." Cute. After six-straight hours of pain, level 11 on a scale of 1-10, I finally fell asleep, the first time in 72-hours. When I woke, I demanded to be let go, put my street clothes back on only to meet the ICU physician. Her first question was, "Why aren't you dead?" Statistically, I was a ghost as fellows with my advanced state of allergic reaction die about 9,999 times out of 10,000. The kicker with such an allergic reaction is that no painkiller works during ones extremity. For your own immune system is killing your own brain. All pain killers work by cutting the brain off from pain. But nothing is going to ever convince the brain that it itself is not dying. Perhaps the only reason I'm able to type this post is because 48-hours previous to my emergency a fellow arrived in my exact state. He died right in the ER. My attending physician was one and the same as his. He spelled out that the final, lethal, event is total closure of ones airway. This happens in SECONDS. I was at such a state that I could not even swallow water, so I knew I was dying. Anyhow, my survival was so improbable that it's data has circulated among ER physicians. I read, quite recently, that another such soul was saved by the same medical group. Plainly they'd used their successful protocol one more time. This could end up being significant in the longer run. Of course, I have PTSD as a result. Well, you can't have everything.
