What was the closest...

birth. i had to be resuscitated. i'd drowned or some crazy thing.

 

i believe i was onthe floor at the time but was dead and therefore unconciouse

 

oh, and my last pregnancy/delivery.

 

RE: I bet that was scary, stupid nurse... It makes you wonder how the hell some of these people in the medical field get hired or graduate from college...

They're hired from some third world backwater. There are ERs in which the working language is either Tagalog or Philipino.

 

Actually, the education system in the Philippines is amazingly advanced, so being trained there would have no negative effect on their abilities. I spent a week in the hospital there and received amazing care.

Also, if someone is trained as a nurse in the Philippines, they will speak English fluently. All business and teaching is conducted in English over there. I know 5 year old Filipinos that speak better English than some 30 year old Americans I know. Basically, only the really poor people don't speak English, and a really poor person wouldn't have the money to be trained as a nurse in the first place.

 

Sure, sure. And the Indian school system is top notch, and all Indians coming out of Engineering colleges speak flawless English.

Communications problems between disparate groups of folks from different parts of the world is WELL KNOWN AND DOCUMENTED.

 

probably about 5 years ago...was in the pool when some fat kid jumped off the diving board and landing on top of my head. i thought my neck was broke and i went unconcious under the water for about 10 seconds - or atleast thats what i was told. i regained conciousness and got out of the water. if i didn't wake back up, i'd probably be dead because no one would have realized that i had drowned because i routinely go to the bottom of the deep end and just sit underwater, so people probably would have thought i was doing that before they realized that i was in trouble....o-well...

 

At six-flags St. Louis water park when I was 14 years old. I was in the wave pool, just enjoying myself. There's this mammoth lady in front of me, sitting on two intertubes LITERALLY with her ass still hanging over the sides.

Next thing I know, this huge wave lefts her up, places her right on top of my head. I can't find the end of her. I thought for sure I'd die. I almost blacked out.

 

When I was 11 years old we were driving to visit my aunt who lives in Boston when while stuck in traffic in New York we were hit by a truck going 80. The car was going between all the cars when it broadsided our sedan that was stopped. I was laying down in the back seat and it hit the passenger side. The impact of the crash push all the bones in my legs up, fracturing and shattering one of my knees completely. My shoulder was dislocated and I broke the wrist on the same arm.

The result of this accident was surgery on my arm to put pins in my wrist and to attempt to put pins in my shoulder and also a total knee replacement on my left knee. My older sister who was in the front seat had a bruised rib and my mom who was driving only got whiplash. Moral of the story: don't lay down in a back seat.

 

I get closer everyday

 

Hmmm, so many times I should've been dead just in my short life, I guess the closest was one time I was sitting on a cliff looking at a town through the thin clouds, so I leaned over a bit to better see it, and then I lost my balance and if there hadn't been a little grass I could grab on to, I wouldn't be here today

Then ofcourse there also the times I should've been, buried alive, burnt alive, blown up, run over and impailed on nail... I think that's it

Oh yeah, and I was born without a heart too, but I got over that...

 

ive nearly been run down 4 times, crashed my motorbike 3 times so i guess im kinda lucky.

 

flying to egypt our planes left engine caught on fire and we had to make a crash landing

 

Glad you made it!
Yes-Fuck em!

 

LOL Me too!
I was so excited when I was born though. So much I couldn't speak the entire first year of my life!

​

 

So true!
I love your Sig!

 

Hell YEAH!
