In my case, a little too close for comfort. I've had several close calls, actually.
But probably the most significant near-death experience occurred when I was injected with a substance at UCLA hospital that sent me into severe shock. The main problem was that the nurse who administered the injection walked out of the room afterward so she didn't see my reaction. Thankfully, a friend of mine was with me at the time.
Apparently, my friend saw me convulse and ran into the hallway to call for help. According to the doctors who provided the after-action report, I had stopped breathing and my heartbeat had ceased for a couple of minutes before they used the crash cart (I was paddled for the first time since high school) and injected me with adrenalin and ... something else ...
But, unfortunately for my enemies, I survived.
