Near, close, almost past the point of no return: death?

Question

Has anyone here ever been close or near death during surgery, a stroke, or open-heart? I do not mean a "near death experience," with its religious underpining, but your story about a medical situation so dire that you came very near to saying so-long, it's been good to know you!

Answer 1

I was clinically dead for 5 minutes after being involved in a Helicopter accident, but was unconscious so I did not have the ability to think about it.

Before I was brought back I felt a tingling sensation in my arms and legs.....I saw my dead relatives in the distance waving and a small child whom i did not know say clearly " You can't come in yet"....

When I regained consciousness I was told The paradmedics were laughing so hard that some idiot ( me) crashed his own model , remote controlled gas powered helicopter into his head ....had they hesitated just a few minutes more...I never would have made it.

I have since give up Model remote controlled aircraft as a hobby.

I play with soap bubbles now....they are safer.
