I was in a coma for three days

Post a new topicby seithkein on Sat Jun 07, 2008 7:06 pm


And I just wanted to share and get some feedback if anyone out there ever had a similar experience.

So this is how it starts, I tried to commit suicide and took large overdose of a brand name medicine that i won't name, but anyway i lost conscious about 15 minutes later after i took the medicine. And then i woke up in the Intensive Care Unit at my local hospital three days later hooked up to a bunch of IV's. I was found unconscious by a relative and they called 911. I don't remember anything from the experience except that i was in a state of no dream and the whole being in a coma seemed like maybe 20 minutes and when i was told that i was in coma for three days i couldn't believe it. From what they told me later was that i had low breathing pattern and my Heart Beat was lower too.

So there it is and i just thought i might share.
