My husband and I unfortunately experienced this when my daughter passed. I remembered I screamed. Something you cannot describe the pain. She was our only child. I remember her nails were white like nail polish was on them. So sad all of it. However, she is in heaven and I will be with her again one day.
My wife died suddenly due to a heart attack. She was a horse trainer and riding instructor. It was a shock I haven't gotten totally over. She had just turned 50. I have never seriously dated in the 14 + years since. I get a lot of comfort from our last words to each other being I love you. Tell your loved ones you love them and give them examples by actions of your love
The same thing happened to my fiance Lee. Feb 15 2020. Think I'm still in shock. I'm not in agonising pain anymore, but life is still hard. Your not alone brother 🖤
@@jennsimpson_backup3333 Thank you, for your sympathy. I hope and pray life gets better for you too. I still have hard days and I hope yours get fewer and farther a part.
@@kirkmorrison6131 sorry for your guys loss. May they be with our Lord And Saviour Jesus Christ enjoying Heaven and God Willing you guys will see them again ☝️🙏✝️
@@VanillaEarth744 I am sure she is in Heaven she was a good Catholic and a good Christian. She was the most beautiful and amazing woman I ever knew. Thank, you for your kindness and sympathy.
This hits home. Someone I knew sat down and had a major heart attack, medics worked for 45 minutes but couldn't save him. Hospital said to discontinue care and they called it
A similar thing happened to my grandfather about a year ago. He was just getting ready for bed when all of a sudden his heart gave out and that was it.. It was very shocking as he was completely fine the week before and none of us were expecting it. My condolences to you and the family 😔
I’m 28 and had sudden cardiac arrest for the first time at 21. Healthy, never done drugs, otherwise fit. But for some reason it keeps happening. I’ve survived cardiac arrest now 11 times thanks to an internal defibrillator that was implanted after the first cardiac arrest. It’s a very crazy experience to say the least and it’s hard to wrap my mind around each time I wake up from “dying”. Feels like I’m GTA when you walk out of the hospital after dying except in real life. Just black until you wake up there. Sometime I remember my “death” and sometimes I have no idea what happened but am told once I wake up. My diagnosis as of now is Idiopathic Ventricular Fibrillation. aka the doctors way of saying they have no idea
sorry bro, hope you keep on flipping the finger to death ;) and you can at least tell yourself you're more badass then cats and their nine lives, thats something of an accomplishment
@@pleasedont1370 Heart palpitations are usually nothing to worry about, especially if there’s no crushing central pain and/or pain down the right shoulder/arm (can be left sided for women), with shortness of breath. Heart palpitations happen multiple times a day to every singe human and are part of the hearts 5 natural pacemakers correcting the heart rhythm. Most people don’t even feel the palpitations or are even aware that they have them. Common causes for palpitations are stress, acid reflux, indigestion, anxiety disorder and physical overexertion. Some heart arrhythmias and heart murmurs can cause palpitations, but those are easily detectable by ECG. Heart palpitations are rarely serious in young/healthy people. The vegus nerve can play a big role in heart palpitations as well.
My friend was in his fifties. Healthy. Blood donor. One day he was in his shop speaking to a customer, he suddenly collapsed, and died. Massive Cardiac arrest. The customer called next door and asked for help where a nurse was recieving Reiki. She worked on him for 15 minutes until the paramedics arrived. They worked on him until the air ambulance arrived. He didn't make it. It was such a shock, but it turns out he had an undiagnosed genetic heart condition. I miss you Raj. You were a legend.
Yeah, if it takes you more than a few minutes to revive them, there's no point doing it anymore. Even if you succeed they will have brain damage, better just let them "sleep".
15 minutes for an ambulance to arrive for a Category 1 call? Blimey, that’s a long time 😢 The chance of surviving a cardiac arrest outside hospital is only 1 or 2 percent. Tbf, it’s only just 10 percent if the arrest happens in hospital. Not great odds.
My father passed away this last July. He had no savings, no life insurance, nothing... I did know he wanted to be cremated and wanted his ashes scattered where his mother's ashes had been scattered. Where I live, just for the cremation was $3500, not counting an urn or anything. Luckily, there was a place called Community Action. I applied for financial aid for the cremation and they paid the funeral home $1500 for my dad's cremation. Because the funeral home accepted the check from Community Action, the extra $2000 was waived. I'm putting this here in case someone who sees this is in my previous financial position. I recommend anyone who needs it to consult with options or get life insurance so that your family doesn't have to go through what I went through.
My mom was 54 in 2007 and all the sudden just passed out and died at school. She was a teacher. She was in teacher training meetings at the beginning of a new school year. She was healthy and exercised regularly. She had been overweight but had actively lost her excess weight years ago and maintained a healthy weight for many years prior to her death. It was pretty shocking to us all. Her own mother lived well into her 80’s and her sister is pushing 80 now. Her father did die younger in his 60’s, but he was an alcoholic. The final cause of death was determined to be “idio-pathic cardiomyopathy” which basically means heart failure of unknown causes. You never know when your time is coming.
Now you are scaring me because I don't know much about Cardiac terminology at all. You know the brain the heart and even all the other organs are important for a human being to thrive and survive a lot.
Earlier this year my oldest cat passed on due to old age and kept getting worse. Her final day was pitiful. The night before I put her down, she slept with me and as I carried her to the vet, she just laid there and knew it was her time. When it was time to give her the medicine, she was ready to go. Yes she’s a cat, but she probably had the same experience we have as humans (on a smaller scale). She went peacefully and calm. I still miss her but understand this is how life is.
I almost put my cat down yesterday, after his chronic conditions worsened dramatically when I couldn’t find a vet open on the weekend. I am questioning my decision, as he continues to suffer. I guess I need more time to see if he improves. I want to know I did all I could, but if his quality of life doesn’t get better soon, it’s time. Unless he’s eating painfully or in the litter box, he just lies there in pain, since last week. He flinches if I touch most of his body. He got kidney disease because of abcessed test we couldn’t have removed, due to cardiomyopathy. It’s always a hard decision. If it helps, vets have told me most people let pets suffer too long. I know that you did it out of pure love. I hope I can be as strong as you. 💔
When i put my cat, BENTLEY,the vet and i did it on a warm sunny day, on the hood of my car. outside in the warm sunshine. I held him as he died. I loved BENTLEY. he always hated the exam room. on my car hood he felt no fear. RIP my little friend
it's been a while ago, but I remember putting my cat down and trying to tell myself as she more tired that it was better for her. I won't ever forget that day. unfortunately. 😔
my grandma died about half a year ago, my mom and i found her lying peacefully in her bed, she had been dead for about 3 days due to cardiac arrest, her dog was lying on her chest barking to her to wake up. we took the dog and are all still mourning her loss so this really hits home
No matter how many years I’ve worked in healthcare, that is the one part of my job that never gets easy. I’ve lost count how many times I had to excuse myself from the room, after telling the family their loved one was gone, so I could run to my car and bawl my eyes out. We are scientists, we are medical professionals, but we’re not robots. We are trained not to show emotion in front of the patient or the family, we are compassionate, caring, and reassuring. But nobody has ever seen one tear stream down my cheek. Luckily, I transferred out of the ER, so I don’t have to give that news very often, but each time I do, it takes a little piece of me away, even if I’ve only just met the patient, it’s still a human being, and I can’t help but be overwhelmed, knowing that, despite all of my efforts in my teams efforts, we couldn’t prevent the inevitable. Trust me, it hurts us too.
I’ve always thought about whoever had to tell me, my brother, and dad that my mom was dead after a sudden heart attack when I was 12 and my brother was 14. I imagine that was incredibly difficult to do. I cannot imagine looking a family with young children like that in the face and telling them their mom is dead after attempting to save her life. I know that it was the most traumatic day of my life, but I truely have nothing but respect and admiration for the people who tried to save her life. I remember a nurse brought me a muffin and some tissues and stayed with me in the waiting room while they told my dad the news. I think about that nurse a lot and about how she stayed with us and did everything she could to help during the most difficult time of my life. It means the world to us. Believe me. I still think of that nurse 13 years later
I had to watch both my parents pass away slowly,unconscious in medically induced comas over the span of 4 days for my father and 10 days for my mother. There’s something to be said about watching your parents fade away and you’re powerless to stop it. This was very recent,mom was 6 years ago and dad went 2 years ago. Thing that sticks with me was counting their breaths as they passed after LS was stopped. I’m still all messed up mentally over it, I’m only 42 and didn’t think I’d lose them so soon. TLDR: Hug,kiss and tell your parents and other loved ones you love them often
i'm so sorry for your loss. your parents sounded like they meant a lot to you. i'm 14 and hearing these stories only makes my want to appreciate my parents more
I know that pain. I lost my mother, my last remaining parent back in early February. I watched her basically slowly die over the course of a year and then in the hospital that February morning her heart just stopped. They tried to bring her back but after 3 failed attempts they told me they were doing irreparable damage if they continue and I made the decision to let her go. I miss her so much but she was suffering for almost a year and I'm happy she will never suffer like that ever again. Rest in peace mom, you made sure I could stand on my own before you left. 🫶😭
When they started talking about the 10% rate that people survive cardiac arrest outside of a hospital I realised how lucky I just am. My father wasn't feeling well for a couple of days so he decided to go to the hospital and get checked out. They made him do a stress test and he went into Cardiac arrest. Before he went into surgery he asked to see a photo off all of his children. I was only eight. I don't know how I would live without him now. Hes going into another test after 5 years. Hes going this friday. Im so nervous for him. I hope it goes well, im only 13 I dont know how I would live without my father.
Love him and show him how you appreciate him. Spend some time with him. A good relationship with your parents is like nothing else, and it should be cherished.
I hope he's alright and continues living along time I lost my dad 4 years ago from cancer when I was 16 and its really hard not having them so appreciate all moments and never do anything regrettable
My husband died over night at the age of 38. It was sudden unexpected death in epilepsy. I hope he felt calm and pain free. I'll be with him again when I'm done here. Another 45 years or so. I can do it.
My daughter has epilepsy she has stopped breathing a few times. She is 40 now and has been seizure free for 5 years now because she takes meds for seizures.
As someone who’s had a NDE from an OD, all I saw was a bright light at the end of a tunnel and was scared. I was 21 at the time and wasn’t able to cope with my MDD. Having a NDE scared me from wanting to go. Just an update on this story: 8 years later today I am officially married to a wonderful person and have experienced more in life because I survived.
@@stellaclairecreations5036 I HAD A COUSIN WHO WAS A STRICT NON BELIEVER IN LIFE AFTER DEATH UNTIL SHE DIED ON ARRIVAL AT THE HOSPITAL FROM A HEART ATTACK. THE DOCTORS MANAGED TO REVIVE HER AND SHE HAD EXPERIENCED A NDE. SHE WENT INTO A DARK TUNNEL WITH A BRIGHT LIGHT AT THE END OF IT AND SHE TOLD ME SHE SAW 4 DEAD RELATIVES IN THE TUNNEL AND ONE OF THEM WAS HER NANNA WAVING TO HER TO GO BACK. IVE NEVER FORGOTTEN WHAT SHE TOLD ME ABOUT HER NDE, ESPECIALLY SEEING SHE HAD BEEN A NON BELIEVER. HER EXPERIENCE CHANGED HER MIND ABOUT BEING A NON BELIEVER TO A BELIEVER.
When I was in my early 20s me and four other guys were headed home after playing a show and stupidly, we were all very drunk. Car flipped. One of my best friends, guy I had known since the third grade, got thrown outta the car, but was sitting up talking and coherent.....until he wasn't. I could see it in his face when he started fading away but I couldn't get him back. Still dream about it every so often.
When I was 15 (I'm 26 now), my father passed away. We texted each other the night before, told me he wasn't looking forward to having a surgery on his lower back he needed to get sometime soon. The following morning, I was pulled out of class and my mother and step-father told me that my father had passed from a massive heart attack (at 53). I was in total shock those first moments after hearing the news, not believing it at all, but then just broke down once I processed the information. It seemed so unreal since I'd just talked to him less than 12 hours earlier and he was completely okay. Please make sure to tell your loved ones that you love them, and hold them close when you have the opportunities to, because you never know when someone's moments may be their last.
I remember watching my dad die in a span of 4 days when I was 16. When he passed away, my grandmother told me to hold his hand for as long as I could for it would be the last time. I held his hand for what felt like hours, even though it was maybe 10 minutes. I’ll never get the image out of my head of him releasing air after he passed. I thought he was alive and hope surged through me, only for the hospice nurse to bluntly tell me he was dead and his body was just releasing gases. To this day, I’m not sure whether I’m grateful for the honesty or upset with the lack of emotional care for a 16 year old. That was 10 years ago, and there’s not a day that passes where this memory doesn’t hit me. I remember what I was wearing, the hospital floor, time of day, everything. It’s hard to live life sometimes with memories like those. RIP daddio, I’ll always love you
I am very sorry for you. My Dad died when I was 17. He had heart disease. That was 48 years ago! I still remember the sound of ventilator all these years later. We never forget. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
@@kylenewright4334 Yes I do and I am ever so sorry you had to have that kind of grief at your young age. Some people mean well but they say stuff out of lack of understanding. Only people who have been there get it. God Bless and much 💘.
I lost my dad ten years ago too and have memories of the day he passed like it was yesterday. For a long time every time I closed my eyes I would see him there taking his last breaths. I miss him every day. Miss you daddio.
I love how this describes the different stages of death. We never know when our time is coming. Let's live our lives to the fullest. It is so heartbreaking to lose you're loved ones. Once they are lowered into the ground that’s where it hit the most.
Want to share my NDE. It was not heart related but happened in a war zone in Syria. Our vehicle hit a land mine and all that I experienced was sudden blackout. Later doc told me I had only 15% chance to live, was on life support for several weeks. All that I can recall after that total blackout was like I was in total solitude, like sleeping but with so much serenity. Felt no pain, as what one would expect. I did not experienced any angels nor devils during that time. Some of the shrapnels are still inside me to this day.
I’m a 28 year old single mother and I suffer from multiple chronic illnesses- sickle cell anemia and SVT. I’ve been thinking about my own mortality more than ever and this video just hit home for me. It’s time to get some things in order and make a living will. My good friend Jordan passed away from this very thing on the basketball court during a game. She was completely “healthy” too. RIP Jordan 🙏🏽
This is really interesting, I attended a 27yr old in cardiac arrest in the home setting, I was second crew so there was already CPR in progress. There was no co-morbidities that were of any concern, partner just said that he went out for a few minutes and then found her slumped on the desk. We worked on her for over an hour and the hospital called it whilst she was still in VF or ventriular fibrillation. They said that even if we got her back now, there would be HUGE neurological defect and she may just end up on a ventilator for the rest of her life She had 9 doses of adrenaline, 1 lot of amioderone and 11 shocks, still couldn't bring her back and i regularly think about the kid that's now without a mum Go hug your loved ones please :)
I came to an understanding that. Once you are dying or dead.. your friends and family would suddenly have the time to "see" you.. But when you are still here.. no one has it.. everyone finds reasons not to spend time with you... So yeah I guess it is what it is
Dad had an attack a few years back. He wasn't feeling all that great so he and mom got an ambulance and got to the hospital. before they could finish hooking up monitors, he flat lined. It happened 3 times but they pulled him through. The Doctor mentioned that another fellow didn't make the choice to get to the hospital around the same time as my Dad. That guy didn't make it. Those survival numbers are indeed grim.
Whoever's reading this, i pray that whatever you're going through gets better and whatever you're struggling with or worrying about is going to be fine and that everyone has a fantastic day! Amen
things like this shows us that anything can happen putting a sudden halt to life. My aunt passed away from heart problems a few years ago, same with my non-biological grandfather as he had a pacemaker and the other illnesses he had were involved. I just wanna say, no matter who your family is and friends are, say that you love them and be genuine, because you don't know when it will be the last time you see them. Show that you love them. Peace and long life
As a paramedic I just had to this today 70's males when the EMTs got on scene they realized he was in cardiac arrest. They started cpr immediately and got the lucas(automatic cpr machine on) pretty quick. When we got on scene we intubated and started medications including epinephrine. When ended up getting rosc(return of spontaneous circulation) the closes hospital was 30 minutes away and the helicopter was even further due to weather. The last 5 minutes of transport the patient went back into cardiac arrest. We continued CPR and medications. Once st the hospital they continued efforts and got a pulse back twice after the third time of the patient losing a pulse the patient was called dead. Learn bystander cpr! It can literally save a life. You might find it not fitting for you bur if it's your friend, neighbor, or family member. It doesn't hurt to learn to save a life
Oof, I'm the older sister of a firefighter paramedic. My brother (28) loves his job, but he'll be the first to tell anyone who asks that is no easy job. It takes a special person to go out and try and save people. It isn't something everyone can do. Thank you for being one of those special few out there.
This! Pray you never have to use it, but make sure you know how if you have to! I know cpr and what to do if someone is shot or impaled in a limb, but when I was held at gunpoint and someone was shot multiple times in the back/abdomen and wasn’t bleeding out I didn’t know what to do or if cpr would have made the internal bleeding worse.. he didn’t make it and to this day I wish I had known what to do WHEN it happened…. Not after
Sorry, long read.... My mom says I saved her life when she had a heart attack at the hospital. The doctors were talking to her and suddenly she fell unconscious and everyone rushed to her side to stabilize her and intibated her. She could only get treatment at another hospital close by because they didn't have the proper heart specialist there and minutes seemed like hours as she was transported to the other hospital along with paramedics, a nurse and a doctor so I had to ride in another ambulance. When we got to the other hospital with my mom still unconscious, but stable I was asked to sign a form for a procedure which was a Stent being put in one of the arteries in her heart which would save her life and at the time, I didn't know that information. All I knew it was going to help her, but how much I didn't know. I was the only family member there, so I signed the form and the procedure was done and now she lives with a defibrillator/pacemaker combo in her. I do not consider myself a hero. I was just helping family in need. That was bad enough and when I got home I was furious because my now estranged older sister wrote on her Facebook page that my mom (which was hers too) was to blame for her heart attack and after that, my mom and the rest of my family cast her out as family for what she did. Even her kids and husband were blaming my mom for little things they "claim" my mom said to them even though my mom didn't say anything to them. There's some things that aren't forgivable and that's one of them. Let's just say if I ever see any of them again and they're injured, I would tell them it's their fault and walk away even if they're bleeding.
I'm a paramedic and I once had an ER doctor tell me that paramedics are so well trained that if we can't get a return, ER docs don't have any other tricks to do.
Yeah, doctors are useless. They just tell patients that all their symptoms of anything and pains are because of stress or depression until something bad happens.
I always imagined when you die. It goes black for about 5 seconds and then randomly you wake up to see Morgan freeman smiling asking if you want a drink.
im imaging it as sitting down in a brown chair (🪑 )and his face is really out of focus and then it comes into focus and he hands you your favorite drink and asks if you’d like some. that’s extremely comforting to me
I will never get over seeing my 18 yo girlfriend brain dead at the hospital. About a year ago at the funeral they played a slideshow of her pictures, she was young and beautiful which was starkly contrasted by the gruesomeness of her visage inside the casket. I still can’t seem to get the image of her face out of my mind. The worst part of it all is that the last thing we ever did was argue.
Forgive yourself for the argument, I think every person on Earth has argued with their loved ones. I have. The important fact is that you loved her, that is all that matters. I'm sorry for your loss. Grieve, then go on and live your life, and share your love.
Life is precious. My dads heart stopped at age 48 and when they revived him his Brian was heavily damaged and became dependent on us. Just remember to appreciate your loved ones!
@@kakarot4243 hes still alive at age 70! but limited mobility and speech due to lack of oxygen to the brain so he lives now dependent on family care, but still some long term memories and mild sense of humour left. obviously not the man I remember prior to his incident
In August 2022 I was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia. I did end up surviving (I just beat it) but the initial diagnosis meant I was almost dead. I had the disease for 3 months before the diagnosis and I was unknowingly dying of suffocation. Unbeknownst to me I had a mass in my chest between my lungs. On top of that, I was basically drowning because I had fluid inside my lungs and surrounding them as well as my heart. I was also in congestive heart failure. You'd think you'd know if you were dying so miserably, but the whole time I had no idea I was on the brink of death, even though I was hallucinating the grim reaper multiple times a day. Thankfully my doctor is amazing and I lived ✨️
Death imo is just like what before birth was. A state of “nothingness”. But if that’s the case, If we can seemingly come from nowhere once, why can’t we do it again? What if death is part of the continuous cycle of life that repeats itself over and over again ?
You can’t remember before and after your time because you weren’t here. If there was another life before this one, how could you remember? Like what if your “second life” was millions of years apart from your first one.
My friend, the truth is death is a consequence of our sin against God. Romans 6:23- “For the wages of sin is death…” everyone and everything has an expiration date due to our fall and separation from God through our shortcomings of his moral law. The good news is that God has provided a way to life which is Jesus Christ, the physical manifestation of God. The rest of Romans 6:23 says, “…but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Jesus is our conquerer of the grave, of death. Confess that you have sinned against God, turn away from all manner of sin, and trust in Jesus with all your heart. God is no liar, you have his promise that though you may die, “he (you) will live. And he who lives and believes in me shall never die.” John 11:25-26. Love each and everyone in this comment section and pray that your hearts will bring about humility and reverence to the lover of our souls, repent of your sins and trust in Jesus. God bless🙏🏿
The final dance is inevitable for everyone, not gunna lie as fast as time flies there’s times where I feel like I’ll live forever. Luckily death hasn’t been overbearing to me and my family as of yet and I rarely put much thought into it (death) due to the unknown and what if’s. But thanks to this video for keeping me grounded, not everyday is promised and this video definitely helped remind me of this.
Sooo sorry I Just lost My Husband of 17years!!! God I Hope your Healing properly and May God Continue giving you strength. I lost My love Two months Ago . It's sooo Hard to lose them especially being so young
I'm so sorry for your loss. The healing process will be very long and difficult. I still cry for my husband even though he's gone 10 years now. Stay strong. I hope you have family and friends support during these very hard times.
We should not be afraid of death. It's a transition. Like birth which we had no control over death is the same. What we do in between is what really matters. Love, help each other, compassion. Forgive. Don't hate, lie, violence. Live the way God wants you to live.
We do have a right to be afraid of death if we do not know Jesus Christ as our Lord & Savior. John 3:36 says: "And anyone who believes in God’s Son has eternal life. Anyone who doesn’t obey the Son will never experience eternal life but remains under God’s angry judgment.” Since we have all sinned and fallen short of God's standard of righteousness (Romans 3:23), we deserve to be punished for what we did (Romans 6:23). But because God loved us, He sent His Son Jesus Christ to die for our sins so that we may have eternal life since the penalty is paid for (John 3:16; Romans 5:8). When we repent of (turn away from) our sins (Acts 3:19), fully trust in Jesus Christ as our Lord & Savior (Romans 10:9-10), and submit to God's will, we will have eternal life and not have to fear death anymore (John 5:24). We will serve God and strive to obey His Word more. I do agree that we should do all the things that you mentioned as well. God loves us all very much and He desires to have a relationship with us!
My father was waiting in the office to see the doctor. While paying his bill, the man said he was happy that he just had an excellent check-up. As the man stepped out the door, he dropped dead. Despite resuscitation, the doctors could not revive him.
In October I came home from open heart surgery (valve replacement I’m 24) and I was very ill, I didn’t wanna go back to the ER but was made to by my husband and a few hours later I had a full cardiac arrest for 13 minutes. Hearing these stats make me feel very grateful to survive that and the second emergency open heart surgery right after.
Those things can really sneak up on you. As a teen, I'd experienced some heart-attack-like pains but was otherwise healthy (seemingly). An attentive doctor noticed some physical abnormalities that by themselves aren't dangerous, but that indicate the presence of a possibly-deadly disorder. He recommended that I see a cardiologist to rule out any related cardiovascular disorders. The cardiologist ordered an echocardiogram on my chest, and found an aneurysm that, 11 years later, has not had any clinically-significant growth.
Man coming to this video after the Damar Hamlin situation makes me realize how much of a miracle it is that he’s alive. He was one of the 10%. I can’t imagine the absolute horror to a family of your family member dying on national tv in front of millions of people. I’m so glad he made it through
As someone who works in Healthcare, the part of thinking you're a qualified Healthcare worker because you watch medical dramas cracks me up. LOVE IT!!!
Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought we weren't supposed to do the breath anymore. Just focus on the compressions since the blood headed towards the brain is oxygenated already, doing the breath can lose precious time.
My dad died in my arms. I wasn't cpr certified and 911 talked me through it. I saw everything he saw when his life flashed before his eyes. It took the 1st responders 25 minutes. If i had paddles he would of most likely survived. I hate it when people don't pull over or yield for the rollers. They're on because someone maybe having a massive heart attack.
My father had a heart attack but was revived. He told me he felt such tranquility that he had never felt in his life before. Then he came to with the medical staff looking relieved saying that they thought they had lost him for a few moments.
I’ve buried most of my family as well as anyone hitting 50. My personal experiences have helped me in my law enforcement career to ease the pain of several different way of SUDS in my career but one thing is no matter what we treated any death like it was our loved one.
Lost both of my grandfathers so suddenly. One by a car accident, the other by an aggressive cancer that took him in months... Sudden death is so much harder to get over, but it makes you thankful that you're still here...
Watching this makes me feel extremely lucky. I was exercising, and felt strange and weak. Nausea came in waves. I ignored slight pain in my chest... I got super dizzy and rung the ambulance. Got to hospital and a bout of dizziness ended it for me. CPR and defib later. After 10 minutes of work they got me back. This was in 2020! I had VT Mid LAD scad which is a tear in the artery.
Just an FYI we never shock when there's no rhythm. We do CPR until we have a shockable rhythm then we all stand back shock and continue CPR until their hearts automatic nervous system kicks in. Also you're not dead until you're warm and dead. No matter what start heating up the person give them oxygen and start CPR immediately breaths aren't as important consistent CPR is the number one thing that you can do to increase the person's chances survival. Although you should put positive pressure into the lungs every once in awhile for the same reason why iron lungs. Periodically over-inflated the patient's lungs. Inside the lungs there are these grape-like structures called alveoli where the exchange of oxygen actually happens but like a balloon they can sometimes get stuck and closed and you have to blow a little extra air in there to pop them open so that oxygen exchange can happen.
Scary how people also have cardiac arrests in the night . My mothers friend woke up to her husband dead beside her . Same thing happened to my uncle when he lost his wife in the night. Imagine waking up to your spouse as a corpse cold and stiff beside you. How horrific and how sad 😢
Happened to me as a nurse with a healthy spouse in a nursing home. This guy wasn’t our patient. Just a family member. He collapsed on the toilet, fell forward blue and dead. Just the fall off the toilet smashed his nose like a pancake. I’ve never seen a face so broken and smushed. I rolled the guy over, performed CPR. He was dead before I started as he was so blue in color. I performed CPR/BLS for 25mins ALONE on this stranger that I didn’t know his Level of Care or if he even had resuscitate orders if he was DNR. My HCA’s all stood by and watched me because they were either freaking out or poorly trained. So, I kicked them out and had too do chest compressions and breaths by myself. Which, is labourers for 25mins until the EMS came. I called for the AED but No Shock was advised. Legally, once I started. I could NOT Stop. I broke his ribs for sure. His nose was smashed while I had to breathe mouth to mouth into a mask. I could feel his lungs expanding and contracting with each breath. He Was Dead. I had too call the Police because that’s protocol for an unexpected death and someone not under out care. This was one of the most Traumatic experiences in my nursing career…
Just remember your ABCs A-airway is unobstructed and not constricted like during an asthma or allergy attack B-breathing check for the rise and fall of the patient's chest count them. C-circulation this is where you check the patient's pulse and if they don't have one you start CPR Most of this can be done at the same time and you don't have to necessarily do ABC some people do CBA it doesn't matter much just do them quick and immediately if it's an auto accident or any other trauma accident where physical force was involved you should try and have a extra person hold their head still and make sure that their head and back don't move as much as possible if you need to roll them over you do a log roll where one person is on the shoulder one person is on the hip and one person is on the head to reduce torsion of the patient.
The Heimlich maneuver you put your fists held together with a thumb sort of making a triangle but not too sharp while you have them lean over and you lift them with your hands held firmly under their rib cage if that doesn't work have them bend over the back of a chair
I remember my final thoughts on my biggest surgery ever. 3 months ago I was planned for a C0-T2 spinal fusion. So they fused my skull, cervical spine and two of my thoracic vertebrae together, because my brainstem and spinal cord were pinched and one important brain vein stoped flowing. I had really horrible symptoms and was in a bad condition. I was lying in the OR after saying goodbye to my boyfriend and thought: „So, maybe that’s it. You can‘t survive such a major surgery.“ My last thought was: „my poor boyfriend.“ 10 hours later I woke up and realized I survived it. It was a weird feeling because I was sure I would not. I Wonder what would have happened to me if I died. Endless blackness, white light? Nobody knows 🙈
I was at work one night, and some dude just collapsed. Probably heart attack. The paramedics doing CPR was the first time I saw it in real life. It's violent and brutal.
ma grandma died on Valentine’s Day of this year, I saw her in induced coma and laying there, I wanted to ask her how are you feeling? She couldn’t answer me back. I can’t believe she passed away. I need her, I can’t breathe normal after her passing. I wish she was here
If it helps- I’m pretty old and as I get closer to that same day as your grandma-I am not afraid of dying. My life can get pretty scary. I AM SURE GRANDMA WANTS YOU TO REMEMBER ALL THE HAPPY TIME THAT CAUSED YOU TO LOVE HER IN THE FIRST PLACE! …..you’ll meet again.
~ Several diseases cause one to have sudden anger fits, usually it is high blood pressure from smoking, high cholesterol, or alcoholism. These all cause excessive fatty tissues, & the anger fits are an attempt of the body to clear the blocked blood vessel passages. Alcoholism also causes a depletion of electrolytes in the brain, which causes headaches, & thus anger fits. Essentially, in all cases, your body is telling you that it needs much needed attention, & specific attention at that, which if it goes ignored, just ends up exacerbating any troublesome physical condition into a fatality.
A friend gave me some advise that saved my life. He said always keep sorbitrate pills in your wallet. Anytime you feel chest pain or somebody in front of you feels chest pain. Put one of the tablets under your tongue. I also carry aspirin. Survived 2 heart attacks. And have helped out my parents with the same tablet on a few occasions.
My mom passed away on a Saturday afternoon around 3:45 pm. Since she was age 73 and had a heart and lung condition the coroner ruled it natural causes. They shipped her from the ER to the funeral home and she was embalmed by 6:00pm. The faster they embalm a body the better it holds up. They don't do autopsies as often as you might think. If we wanted an autopsy it was going to cost around $6000. We had to pay for the autopsy up front as well. She died during a breathing treatment and I'll always wonder if the breathing treatment was the cause of her death. She was doing fine for her before it happened. She was actually having a good day.
Whoever's reading this, I pray that whatever your going through gets better and whatever your struggling with or worrying about is going to be fine and that everyone has a fantastic day!!
My only grandpa died very suddenly, by a heart attack, but doing he thing he loved the most: snow blowing. He loved taking care of the lawn and gardening. But still, it was extremely shocking to all of us.
This reminds me to start living like there’s no time to waste. Not no time left…I’d just hug my loved ones all day and be no help to them. But it’s important to make time for that, in case!
I've survived five heart attacks and i've driven myself to the hospital all five times which is about 70 miles away. And i don't want to hear any of this mild heart attack stuff none of them were mild. If you ever had to run the mile in high school and pushed yourself to the point where it hurt to breathe that's what it felt like except i was laying in bed at about 2:00 in the morning with the first heart attack. I could feel extreme pain in my jaw my throat my chest and my left arm. And to tell you the truth i rolled myself a joint as i got dressed and drove to the hospital and i was just hitting my weed telling myself it can't be a heart attack or i would be dead. But they were heart attacks verified at the hospital with blood tests.
Been on the table, trying to find out cause of death as a pathologist, trying to find answers as accurate as possible. It's never easy for the family members and friends of the deceased, and even for pathologists but we have a work to do, no choice
I’m 32, last year on July 17th 2021 I went into cardiac arrest. Luckily my wife started cpr right away and I started breathing on my own slightly after a few minutes. It took the ambulance 9 minutes to arrive. I went into cardiac arrest 3 more times at the hospital. I was only shocked once though. After getting an implanted defibrillator and a heart catheterization I was sent home. It’s been a year and I still feel the effects. My memory isn’t nearly as good. I don’t remember the first 3 days in the hospital. Even with my heart medication I get angina(heart pain) randomly now. The crazy part was my Apple Watch kept going off that mourning, telling me I had a low heart rate. I’m grateful to still be here. The doctors told me how statistically improbable it was.
It literally always happen, as a matter of fact, you’ve never had mre chance to live a long life than you do today? That’s why the world population is 7 billions and not millions like early 1900
I know what it's like as I lost my father at 77 yrs old. No kidding, he was fine the morning he took me to work & was gone that morning at 11am! The paramedics did nothing to try to save him- they just stood around talking when my father was on the bed dying! It was only later when they were transporting him that they worked on him! I still blame them for not working on him sooner! 😞
That's true. But if we repent of our sins (Acts 3:19), fully trust in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior (John 3:16; Romans 10:9-10), and submit our lives to Him, we will have eternal life and will be with God in heaven for all eternity!
This happened to my dad, he was with a passenger, they said he stopped talking and drove off the road, he was dead in an instant, a cop just behind him, and started cpr, then had an ambulance take him to the hospital,he was gone that quick, he was 63 just got his first ss check, this was in 1995 a week before Christmas. My mom died less than 2 years before from cancer.
Reminds me when i almost died due to a seizure caused by bacterial meningitis. They told me i probably was gona die to say my goodbyes to my family 😔those words haunt me to this day and that was 2 years ago. Fortunately i made it and i can say dying is scary but peaceful. All i can say is , watch out for head injuries, thy can go bad real quick.
Had a friend I saw on a Saturday morning. She went grocery shopping, got home, unlocked the door, sat down and died right there as her daughter started bringing in the groceries.
my husband had his second heart attack one block from the hospital -we drove quickly to er and they came and took him in-they took me in a private room to tell me the bad news- a nurse came and said "we got him back!!" he lived another year-thank you God
Uh, I got a little emotional watching this. Probably because the two year anniversary of my dad's death is in a few days. He died in a car accident so it's a little different, but knowing he probably went through some of these stages.. just makes me sad.
This may sound weird but when I do die I hope it's not in a way that is inconvenient for others (I know it is). For example in the middle of a busy street or at a gathering, hopefully you guys get what I mean
I know the "Staying Alive" thing is common knowledge. However, I read in a health magazine in my senior year that the number of chest compressions got doubled. So, I've started to find that interesting. Oh, and I read somewhere that the rescue breaths are based off an assumption. That said, the rest of the video was pretty interesting, especially the cause of death. And I actually felt sorry for Becky at the end.
Death is just so sad any way you look at it, even when people I barely know or when celebrities die it feel a little sad, but when a child or mom and young kids dies it is especially Sad and tragic
There's a lot of beauty in life too man. The thing that helps me when I feel sad is to know that myself, my loved ones and everyone else exists, and that we are part of something that is bigger and more humbling than anything we could ever imagine. Death is an inevitability and I'm ready for it whenever but equally, I've still got to get to where I'm heading first!
@@KTBFFH that's actually a pretty nice way of looking at things. Thanks, I'm gonna try adopt that into my own life because I have a fear of my loved ones dying.
I am 56 years old. I had two heart attacks 6 months apart. Both were 100% occlusive, meaning my heart attacks were caused by blood clots blocking blood flow in my artery 100% totally blocked. The first one they did a catheter through my right wrist, removed the clot and placed a stent on the front artery of my heart. The second heart attack was the same type but on the backside of my heart and did the catheter through my groin artery and removed the clot and placed a stent on the backside artery of my heart. Technology advancements in medicine is amazing. They used a wire as thin as fishing line to clear the clot and then place a stent which is a wire looking mesh so thin that you can barely see it when it is expanded. I am so lucky and blessed to have survived both without any damage to my heart. The skill and knowledge of the doctors and the skill and knowledge of the inventor and manufacturers of these technologies are a blessing. After hearing the statistics on the survival rate of out of hospital heart attacks, I realize more how lucky and blessed I am. During both attacks, when in the ambulance, I wasn’t in any real pain or scared. Just some heavy pressure on my chest. I was cracking jokes with paramedics. I don’t remember much of it at all. But when I went back to thank the paramedics, they told me that I was a hoot and that they never saw someone as relaxed and funny as I was. They didn’t expect me to make it. When I went to the hospital to thank the doctors, they and the nurses that were there said the same things. I was shocked and surprised. Always remember to thank people for what they do. From janitors to doctors and wait staff. Without the people who do all sorts of tasks from great to small, we wouldn’t be where we are today and the world be as great as it is. Be thankful for everything that you have and always remember to pass it forward.
Breaths are not recommended for CPR anymore, just focus on the chest compressions. Call 911 *before* starting. -- if you're in public place, shout for an AED machine.
There was a kid in my dad's high school. A really good basketball player. He was a senior and had several schools looking at him. One day in a game he went up for a lay-up and was dead before he came back down. It was in the early 60's, I think 1961, and it was just like this. His heart just stopped beating.
Same thing happened to famous NBA player Pete Maravich "Pistol Pete" he was playing a pick up game at a local gym and died immediately just like your example
My dad went into Cardiac arrest, he was dead until my fiancee gave him cpr on the fourth try he came through, but he went into vegetative state and didn't come out of it, so we had to withdraw care for him. He died on November 9th of last year. 😢
My husband and I unfortunately experienced this when my daughter passed. I remembered I screamed. Something you cannot describe the pain. She was our only child. I remember her nails were white like nail polish was on them. So sad all of it. However, she is in heaven and I will be with her again one day.
My mom passed away on the 7th of Oct. And seeing her again is the main thing!
So sorry for your loss Ma'am! May God Bless You & Your Family
1000 years on earth is 1 day in heaven, she will be seeing you shortly :)
@@davidjacoby8148 Really? Daughter passes away and you say that.. have some respect
@@davidjacoby8148 In theory, and that was unnecessary.
My wife died suddenly due to a heart attack. She was a horse trainer and riding instructor. It was a shock I haven't gotten totally over. She had just turned 50. I have never seriously dated in the 14 + years since. I get a lot of comfort from our last words to each other being I love you. Tell your loved ones you love them and give them examples by actions of your love
The same thing happened to my fiance Lee. Feb 15 2020.

This hits home. Someone I knew sat down and had a major heart attack, medics worked for 45 minutes but couldn't save him. Hospital said to discontinue care and they called it
Sorry for your loss
I'm sorry
😔
A similar thing happened to my grandfather about a year ago. He was just getting ready for bed when all of a sudden his heart gave out and that was it.. It was very shocking as he was completely fine the week before and none of us were expecting it. My condolences to you and the family 😔
:(
I’m 28 and had sudden cardiac arrest for the first time at 21. Healthy, never done drugs, otherwise fit. But for some reason it keeps happening.
I’ve survived cardiac arrest now 11 times thanks to an internal defibrillator that was implanted after the first cardiac arrest.
It’s a very crazy experience to say the least and it’s hard to wrap my mind around each time I wake up from “dying”.
Feels like I’m GTA when you walk out of the hospital after dying except in real life. Just black until you wake up there. Sometime I remember my “death” and sometimes I have no idea what happened but am told once I wake up.
My diagnosis as of now is Idiopathic Ventricular Fibrillation. aka the doctors way of saying they have no idea
Let me take a wild guess! You vaccinated yourself because the government told you so…
Do you get heart palpations?
sorry bro, hope you keep on flipping the finger to death ;)
and you can at least tell yourself you're more badass then cats and their nine lives, thats something of an accomplishment
Weak heart?
@@pleasedont1370
Heart palpitations are usually nothing to worry about, especially if there’s no crushing central pain and/or pain down the right shoulder/arm (can be left sided for women), with shortness of breath.
Heart palpitations happen multiple times a day to every singe human and are part of the hearts 5 natural pacemakers correcting the heart rhythm.
Most people don’t even feel the palpitations or are even aware that they have them.
Common causes for palpitations are stress, acid reflux, indigestion, anxiety disorder and physical overexertion.
Some heart arrhythmias and heart murmurs can cause palpitations, but those are easily detectable by ECG.
Heart palpitations are rarely serious in young/healthy people.
The vegus nerve can play a big role in heart palpitations as well.
My friend was in his fifties. Healthy. Blood donor. One day he was in his shop speaking to a customer, he suddenly collapsed, and died. Massive Cardiac arrest. The customer called next door and asked for help where a nurse was recieving Reiki. She worked on him for 15 minutes until the paramedics arrived. They worked on him until the air ambulance arrived.
He didn't make it.
It was such a shock, but it turns out he had an undiagnosed genetic heart condition.
I miss you Raj. You were a legend.
So sorry to hear that 😞 🙏🙏
May he Rest In Peace ☮️ 🙏
Yeah, if it takes you more than a few minutes to revive them, there's no point doing it anymore. Even if you succeed they will have brain damage, better just let them "sleep".
15 minutes for an ambulance to arrive for a Category 1 call? Blimey, that’s a long time 😢
The chance of surviving a cardiac arrest outside hospital is only 1 or 2 percent. Tbf, it’s only just 10 percent if the arrest happens in hospital. Not great odds.
My father passed away this last July. He had no savings, no life insurance, nothing... I did know he wanted to be cremated and wanted his ashes scattered where his mother's ashes had been scattered. Where I live, just for the cremation was $3500, not counting an urn or anything. Luckily, there was a place called Community Action. I applied for financial aid for the cremation and they paid the funeral home $1500 for my dad's cremation. Because the funeral home accepted the check from Community Action, the extra $2000 was waived.
I'm putting this here in case someone who sees this is in my previous financial position. I recommend anyone who needs it to consult with options or get life insurance so that your family doesn't have to go through what I went through.
My mom was 54 in 2007 and all the sudden just passed out and died at school. She was a teacher. She was in teacher training meetings at the beginning of a new school year. She was healthy and exercised regularly. She had been overweight but had actively lost her excess weight years ago and maintained a healthy weight for many years prior to her death. It was pretty shocking to us all. Her own mother lived well into her 80’s and her sister is pushing 80 now. Her father did die younger in his 60’s, but he was an alcoholic. The final cause of death was determined to be “idio-pathic cardiomyopathy” which basically means heart failure of unknown causes. You never know when your time is coming.
Preach that your 100% right
wow..so sorry for ur loss
Sorry for your loss.
Now you are scaring me because I don't know much about Cardiac terminology at all.
You know the brain the heart and even all the other organs are important for a human being to thrive and survive a lot.
I think one of the main factors in all this is stress that's why when they say stress is killer it ain't no joke
Earlier this year my oldest cat passed on due to old age and kept getting worse. Her final day was pitiful. The night before I put her down, she slept with me and as I carried her to the vet, she just laid there and knew it was her time. When it was time to give her the medicine, she was ready to go. Yes she’s a cat, but she probably had the same experience we have as humans (on a smaller scale). She went peacefully and calm. I still miss her but understand this is how life is.
I almost put my cat down yesterday, after his chronic conditions worsened dramatically when I couldn’t find a vet open on the weekend. I am questioning my decision, as he continues to suffer. I guess I need more time to see if he improves. I want to know I did all I could, but if his quality of life doesn’t get better soon, it’s time. Unless he’s eating painfully or in the litter box, he just lies there in pain, since last week. He flinches if I touch most of his body. He got kidney disease because of abcessed test we couldn’t have removed, due to cardiomyopathy. It’s always a hard decision. If it helps, vets have told me most people let pets suffer too long. I know that you did it out of pure love. I hope I can be as strong as you. 💔
My condolences.
My condolences. 💗
When i put my cat, BENTLEY,the vet and i did it on a warm sunny day, on the hood of my car. outside in the warm sunshine. I held him as he died. I loved BENTLEY.
he always hated the exam room. on my car hood he felt no fear. RIP my little friend
it's been a while ago, but I remember putting my cat down and trying to tell myself as she more tired that it was better for her. I won't ever forget that day. unfortunately. 😔
my grandma died about half a year ago, my mom and i found her lying peacefully in her bed, she had been dead for about 3 days due to cardiac arrest, her dog was lying on her chest barking to her to wake up. we took the dog and are all still mourning her loss so this really hits home
Sorry about your grandma. Thank god the dog didn’t eat her and tried to wake her up.
My condolence. But 3 days? The smell must have been intolerable. Decomposition had to have set in.
That's the kind of passing we all strive for.
No matter how many years I’ve worked in healthcare, that is the one part of my job that never gets easy. I’ve lost count how many times I had to excuse myself from the room, after telling the family their loved one was gone, so I could run to my car and bawl my eyes out. We are scientists, we are medical professionals, but we’re not robots. We are trained not to show emotion in front of the patient or the family, we are compassionate, caring, and reassuring. But nobody has ever seen one tear stream down my cheek. Luckily, I transferred out of the ER, so I don’t have to give that news very often, but each time I do, it takes a little piece of me away, even if I’ve only just met the patient, it’s still a human being, and I can’t help but be overwhelmed, knowing that, despite all of my efforts in my teams efforts, we couldn’t prevent the inevitable. Trust me, it hurts us too.
Thank you for sharing.
I'm a CNA of 8 months and am faced all too often with this very struggle.
Need more Healthcare providers like you two. It's better to feel TOO MUCH emotion than none at all.
@@clbl8706 Very well said . And as hard Of an aspect as it is, I've promised myself and my beloved residents that I will keep going.
@HospitalBed On behalf of your patients, thank you. I'm not religious but you're doing God's work.
I’ve always thought about whoever had to tell me, my brother, and dad that my mom was dead after a sudden heart attack when I was 12 and my brother was 14. I imagine that was incredibly difficult to do. I cannot imagine looking a family with young children like that in the face and telling them their mom is dead after attempting to save her life. I know that it was the most traumatic day of my life, but I truely have nothing but respect and admiration for the people who tried to save her life. I remember a nurse brought me a muffin and some tissues and stayed with me in the waiting room while they told my dad the news. I think about that nurse a lot and about how she stayed with us and did everything she could to help during the most difficult time of my life. It means the world to us. Believe me. I still think of that nurse 13 years later
I had to watch both my parents pass away slowly,unconscious in medically induced comas over the span of 4 days for my father and 10 days for my mother. There’s something to be said about watching your parents fade away and you’re powerless to stop it. This was very recent,mom was 6 years ago and dad went 2 years ago. Thing that sticks with me was counting their breaths as they passed after LS was stopped. I’m still all messed up mentally over it, I’m only 42 and didn’t think I’d lose them so soon. TLDR: Hug,kiss and tell your parents and other loved ones you love them often
i'm so sorry for your loss. your parents sounded like they meant a lot to you. i'm 14 and hearing these stories only makes my want to appreciate my parents more
42 years is amazing. Sorry for your loss
My father passed away last month, literally like the video. I wasn't there, my mom was. I'm 28, hug them, love them, you don't know when is the time.
@@DraskoCobra it wouldn’t hurt to visit them I would think. I’m sorry for your loss
I know that pain. I lost my mother, my last remaining parent back in early February. I watched her basically slowly die over the course of a year and then in the hospital that February morning her heart just stopped. They tried to bring her back but after 3 failed attempts they told me they were doing irreparable damage if they continue and I made the decision to let her go. I miss her so much but she was suffering for almost a year and I'm happy she will never suffer like that ever again. Rest in peace mom, you made sure I could stand on my own before you left. 🫶😭
When they started talking about the 10% rate that people survive cardiac arrest outside of a hospital I realised how lucky I just am. My father wasn't feeling well for a couple of days so he decided to go to the hospital and get checked out. They made him do a stress test and he went into Cardiac arrest. Before he went into surgery he asked to see a photo off all of his children. I was only eight. I don't know how I would live without him now. Hes going into another test after 5 years. Hes going this friday. Im so nervous for him. I hope it goes well, im only 13 I dont know how I would live without my father.
please update us when you can! i’d love to hear it. sending prayers to your family!! ❤️❤️
Wishing him the best!!
Love him and show him how you appreciate him. Spend some time with him.
A good relationship with your parents is like nothing else, and it should be cherished.
Your dad is so lucky! I’m glad he beat the odds
I hope he's alright and continues living along time I lost my dad 4 years ago from cancer when I was 16 and its really hard not having them so appreciate all moments and never do anything regrettable
My husband died over night at the age of 38. It was sudden unexpected death in epilepsy. I hope he felt calm and pain free. I'll be with him again when I'm done here. Another 45 years or so. I can do it.
Hang in there
Sending you my condolences, Amy. 💐
I told my cat “mommy” will meet him in 5 minutes. I’ve heard that’s what it feels like, for them. ❤️
Sorry for your loss.
My daughter has epilepsy she has stopped breathing a few times. She is 40 now and has been seizure free for 5 years now because she takes meds for seizures.
As someone who’s had a NDE from an OD, all I saw was a bright light at the end of a tunnel and was scared. I was 21 at the time and wasn’t able to cope with my MDD. Having a NDE scared me from wanting to go. Just an update on this story: 8 years later today I am officially married to a wonderful person and have experienced more in life because I survived.
Wow. I’ve nearly drowned 4 or 5 times in my life and I had a out of body experience. Thankfully you’re ok
Jesus loves you
The most important thing we can do in this life is to know JESUS CHRIST.
I'm glad you're in a much better place!
@@stellaclairecreations5036 I HAD A COUSIN WHO WAS A STRICT NON BELIEVER IN LIFE AFTER DEATH UNTIL SHE DIED ON ARRIVAL AT THE HOSPITAL FROM A HEART ATTACK.

When I was in my early 20s me and four other guys were headed home after playing a show and stupidly, we were all very drunk. Car flipped. One of my best friends, guy I had known since the third grade, got thrown outta the car, but was sitting up talking and coherent.....until he wasn't. I could see it in his face when he started fading away but I couldn't get him back. Still dream about it every so often.
I am sorry 😞 sad world we leave ...
Man this gives me a very strangely familiar and deeply saddening feeling. very odd
So traumatic! I’m sorry about your loss. 💔
When I was 15 (I'm 26 now), my father passed away. We texted each other the night before, told me he wasn't looking forward to having a surgery on his lower back he needed to get sometime soon. The following morning, I was pulled out of class and my mother and step-father told me that my father had passed from a massive heart attack (at 53). I was in total shock those first moments after hearing the news, not believing it at all, but then just broke down once I processed the information. It seemed so unreal since I'd just talked to him less than 12 hours earlier and he was completely okay.
Please make sure to tell your loved ones that you love them, and hold them close when you have the opportunities to, because you never know when someone's moments may be their last.
I remember watching my dad die in a span of 4 days when I was 16. When he passed away, my grandmother told me to hold his hand for as long as I could for it would be the last time. I held his hand for what felt like hours, even though it was maybe 10 minutes. I’ll never get the image out of my head of him releasing air after he passed. I thought he was alive and hope surged through me, only for the hospice nurse to bluntly tell me he was dead and his body was just releasing gases. To this day, I’m not sure whether I’m grateful for the honesty or upset with the lack of emotional care for a 16 year old. That was 10 years ago, and there’s not a day that passes where this memory doesn’t hit me. I remember what I was wearing, the hospital floor, time of day, everything. It’s hard to live life sometimes with memories like those. RIP daddio, I’ll always love you
I am very sorry for you. My Dad died when I was 17. He had heart disease. That was 48 years ago! I still remember the sound of ventilator all these years later. We never forget. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I lost my dad ten years ago too and have memories of the day he passed like it was yesterday. For a long time every time I closed my eyes I would see him there taking his last breaths. I miss him every day. Miss you daddio.
I had to watched cancer torture my dad for 4 months then killed him. I was 32. I helped my mom care for him. It's never easy losing someone we love.
I love how this describes the different stages of death. We never know when our time is coming. Let's live our lives to the fullest. It is so heartbreaking to lose you're loved ones. Once they are lowered into the ground that’s where it hit the most.
Want to share my NDE. It was not heart related but happened in a war zone in Syria. Our vehicle hit a land mine and all that I experienced was sudden blackout. Later doc told me I had only 15% chance to live, was on life support for several weeks. All that I can recall after that total blackout was like I was in total solitude, like sleeping but with so much serenity. Felt no pain, as what one would expect. I did not experienced any angels nor devils during that time. Some of the shrapnels are still inside me to this day.
I'm glad you made it!
I’m a 28 year old single mother and I suffer from multiple chronic illnesses- sickle cell anemia and SVT. I’ve been thinking about my own mortality more than ever and this video just hit home for me. It’s time to get some things in order and make a living will.
My good friend Jordan passed away from this very thing on the basketball court during a game. She was completely “healthy” too. RIP Jordan 🙏🏽
Just don't get pulled over by the police and you should be fine.
I’ve gone into svt and it was extremely scary
Sorry baby 😢 rest in Heaven Jordan
So sorry to hear that..hope you have a great life much love ❤️
HER name is jordan?
This is really interesting, I attended a 27yr old in cardiac arrest in the home setting, I was second crew so there was already CPR in progress. There was no co-morbidities that were of any concern, partner just said that he went out for a few minutes and then found her slumped on the desk. We worked on her for over an hour and the hospital called it whilst she was still in VF or ventriular fibrillation. They said that even if we got her back now, there would be HUGE neurological defect and she may just end up on a ventilator for the rest of her life
She had 9 doses of adrenaline, 1 lot of amioderone and 11 shocks, still couldn't bring her back and i regularly think about the kid that's now without a mum
Go hug your loved ones please :)
daymn bro
o.k.
I came to an understanding that. Once you are dying or dead.. your friends and family would suddenly have the time to "see" you..
But when you are still here.. no one has it.. everyone finds reasons not to spend time with you... So yeah I guess it is what it is
Was this before or after the vaccine epedemic?
@@gunsnrosesdefinition7672 tried to be deep, just came wrong and dumb
I take your working in healthcare ,thanks for being brave and do what you do,it takes a special person to do what you do.🙏🙏🙏🙏
Dad had an attack a few years back. He wasn't feeling all that great so he and mom got an ambulance and got to the hospital. before they could finish hooking up monitors, he flat lined. It happened 3 times but they pulled him through. The Doctor mentioned that another fellow didn't make the choice to get to the hospital around the same time as my Dad. That guy didn't make it. Those survival numbers are indeed grim.
Informative video. I'm holding back tears at the gym while watching this. Life is so fragile and you never know when you will take your last breath.

things like this shows us that anything can happen putting a sudden halt to life. My aunt passed away from heart problems a few years ago, same with my non-biological grandfather as he had a pacemaker and the other illnesses he had were involved. I just wanna say, no matter who your family is and friends are, say that you love them and be genuine, because you don't know when it will be the last time you see them. Show that you love them.
Peace and long life
As a paramedic I just had to this today 70's males when the EMTs got on scene they realized he was in cardiac arrest. They started cpr immediately and got the lucas(automatic cpr machine on) pretty quick. When we got on scene we intubated and started medications including epinephrine. When ended up getting rosc(return of spontaneous circulation) the closes hospital was 30 minutes away and the helicopter was even further due to weather. The last 5 minutes of transport the patient went back into cardiac arrest. We continued CPR and medications. Once st the hospital they continued efforts and got a pulse back twice after the third time of the patient losing a pulse the patient was called dead. Learn bystander cpr! It can literally save a life. You might find it not fitting for you bur if it's your friend, neighbor, or family member. It doesn't hurt to learn to save a life
Oof, I'm the older sister of a firefighter paramedic. My brother (28) loves his job, but he'll be the first to tell anyone who asks that is no easy job. It takes a special person to go out and try and save people. It isn't something everyone can do. Thank you for being one of those special few out there.
This! Pray you never have to use it, but make sure you know how if you have to! I know cpr and what to do if someone is shot or impaled in a limb, but when I was held at gunpoint and someone was shot multiple times in the back/abdomen and wasn’t bleeding out I didn’t know what to do or if cpr would have made the internal bleeding worse.. he didn’t make it and to this day I wish I had known what to do WHEN it happened…. Not after
Sorry, long read....
My mom says I saved her life when she had a heart attack at the hospital. The doctors were talking to her and suddenly she fell unconscious and everyone rushed to her side to stabilize her and intibated her.
She could only get treatment at another hospital close by because they didn't have the proper heart specialist there and minutes seemed like hours as she was transported to the other hospital along with paramedics, a nurse and a doctor so I had to ride in another ambulance.
When we got to the other hospital with my mom still unconscious, but stable I was asked to sign a form for a procedure which was a Stent being put in one of the arteries in her heart which would save her life and at the time, I didn't know that information. All I knew it was going to help her, but how much I didn't know.
I was the only family member there, so I signed the form and the procedure was done and now she lives with a defibrillator/pacemaker combo in her. I do not consider myself a hero. I was just helping family in need.
That was bad enough and when I got home I was furious because my now estranged older sister wrote on her Facebook page that my mom (which was hers too) was to blame for her heart attack and after that, my mom and the rest of my family cast her out as family for what she did. Even her kids and husband were blaming my mom for little things they "claim" my mom said to them even though my mom didn't say anything to them.
There's some things that aren't forgivable and that's one of them.
Let's just say if I ever see any of them again and they're injured, I would tell them it's their fault and walk away even if they're bleeding.
We have a 60 min transport time if we can't get a bird. The Lucas is nothing short of a miracle device.
I'm a paramedic and I once had an ER doctor tell me that paramedics are so well trained that if we can't get a return, ER docs don't have any other tricks to do.
Yeah, doctors are useless. They just tell patients that all their symptoms of anything and pains are because of stress or depression until something bad happens.
Don’t believe that. My mother died of an overdose and nobody caught it.
I always imagined when you die. It goes black for about 5 seconds and then randomly you wake up to see Morgan freeman smiling asking if you want a drink.
I tell myself that this is gonna happen all the time
wait that’s a great way to look at things
im imaging it as sitting down in a brown chair (🪑 )and his face is really out of focus and then it comes into focus and he hands you your favorite drink and asks if you’d like some. that’s extremely comforting to me
I imagine darkness, but also me not realizing it’s dark. Nothing going on in my mind (my mind doesn’t exist when it’s decayed anyways) nothing I feel
@@aldubm2234 It's strangely peaceful and terrifying at the same time. Because life is suffering, but this suffering is all you know.
I will never get over seeing my 18 yo girlfriend brain dead at the hospital. About a year ago at the funeral they played a slideshow of her pictures, she was young and beautiful which was starkly contrasted by the gruesomeness of her visage inside the casket. I still can’t seem to get the image of her face out of my mind. The worst part of it all is that the last thing we ever did was argue.
Forgive yourself for the argument, I think every person on Earth has argued with their loved ones. I have. The important fact is that you loved her, that is all that matters. I'm sorry for your loss. Grieve, then go on and live your life, and share your love.

Man watching these type of videos give me such a harsh feeling of fear and anxiety 😦
Yes, I don't know why I'm watching this at 12:23am

In August 2022 I was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia. I did end up surviving (I just beat it) but the initial diagnosis meant I was almost dead. I had the disease for 3 months before the diagnosis and I was unknowingly dying of suffocation. Unbeknownst to me I had a mass in my chest between my lungs. On top of that, I was basically drowning because I had fluid inside my lungs and surrounding them as well as my heart. I was also in congestive heart failure. You'd think you'd know if you were dying so miserably, but the whole time I had no idea I was on the brink of death, even though I was hallucinating the grim reaper multiple times a day. Thankfully my doctor is amazing and I lived ✨️
Death imo is just like what before birth was. A state of “nothingness”. But if that’s the case, If we can seemingly come from nowhere once, why can’t we do it again? What if death is part of the continuous cycle of life that repeats itself over and over again ?
Deja vu
why don't we remember
You can’t remember before and after your time because you weren’t here. If there was another life before this one, how could you remember? Like what if your “second life” was millions of years apart from your first one.
My friend, the truth is death is a consequence of our sin against God. Romans 6:23- “For the wages of sin is death…” everyone and everything has an expiration date due to our fall and separation from God through our shortcomings of his moral law. The good news is that God has provided a way to life which is Jesus Christ, the physical manifestation of God.
The rest of Romans 6:23 says, “…but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Jesus is our conquerer of the grave, of death. Confess that you have sinned against God, turn away from all manner of sin, and trust in Jesus with all your heart. God is no liar, you have his promise that though you may die, “he (you) will live. And he who lives and believes in me shall never die.” John 11:25-26. Love each and everyone in this comment section and pray that your hearts will bring about humility and reverence to the lover of our souls, repent of your sins and trust in Jesus. God bless🙏🏿
@@Tony-jl8li why millions of years though? whats stopping generational reincarnation?
The final dance is inevitable for everyone, not gunna lie as fast as time flies there’s times where I feel like I’ll live forever. Luckily death hasn’t been overbearing to me and my family as of yet and I rarely put much thought into it (death) due to the unknown and what if’s. But thanks to this video for keeping me grounded, not everyday is promised and this video definitely helped remind me of this.
As soon as a person is conceived, their fate is sealed. They are going to die no matter what. Nothing is certain but death and taxes. (Jan Griffiths).
This happened to my 46 year old, very healthy husband. The worst time of my life and I still haven't been able to cope with this unbearable loss
I'm extremely sorry for your loss. Pls stay strong. Sending u all the love and support ✨
@@immortalxd6190 thank you so much
Sooo sorry I Just lost My Husband of 17years!!! God I Hope your Healing properly and May God Continue giving you strength. I lost My love Two months Ago . It's sooo Hard to lose them especially being so young
I'm so sorry for your loss. The healing process will be very long and difficult. I still cry for my husband even though he's gone 10 years now. Stay strong. I hope you have family and friends support during these very hard times.
We should not be afraid of death. It's a transition. Like birth which we had no control over death is the same. What we do in between is what really matters. Love, help each other, compassion. Forgive. Don't hate, lie, violence. Live the way God wants you to live.
We do have a right to be afraid of death if we do not know Jesus Christ as our Lord & Savior. John 3:36 says: "And anyone who believes in God’s Son has eternal life. Anyone who doesn’t obey the Son will never experience eternal life but remains under God’s angry judgment.” Since we have all sinned and fallen short of God's standard of righteousness (Romans 3:23), we deserve to be punished for what we did (Romans 6:23). But because God loved us, He sent His Son Jesus Christ to die for our sins so that we may have eternal life since the penalty is paid for (John 3:16; Romans 5:8). When we repent of (turn away from) our sins (Acts 3:19), fully trust in Jesus Christ as our Lord & Savior (Romans 10:9-10), and submit to God's will, we will have eternal life and not have to fear death anymore (John 5:24). We will serve God and strive to obey His Word more. I do agree that we should do all the things that you mentioned as well. God loves us all very much and He desires to have a relationship with us!

@Grace Ukandu you shouldn’t don’t waste your life worrying
I have severe health anxiety which will probably ironically be what kills me (stress). You're definitely not the only one. Life is ridiculous.
My father was waiting in the office to see the doctor. While paying his bill, the man said he was happy that he just had an excellent check-up. As the man stepped out the door, he dropped dead. Despite resuscitation, the doctors could not revive him.
In October I came home from open heart surgery (valve replacement I’m 24) and I was very ill, I didn’t wanna go back to the ER but was made to by my husband and a few hours later I had a full cardiac arrest for 13 minutes. Hearing these stats make me feel very grateful to survive that and the second emergency open heart surgery right after.
I’m happy ur still here. I’m a open heart surgery survivor too. Had 2 surgeries before the age of 1
How does it feel to wake up from open heart surgery? I would imagine the pain is out of this world.
Those things can really sneak up on you. As a teen, I'd experienced some heart-attack-like pains but was otherwise healthy (seemingly). An attentive doctor noticed some physical abnormalities that by themselves aren't dangerous, but that indicate the presence of a possibly-deadly disorder. He recommended that I see a cardiologist to rule out any related cardiovascular disorders.
The cardiologist ordered an echocardiogram on my chest, and found an aneurysm that, 11 years later, has not had any clinically-significant growth.
Bro same here but are u alright because somethings same with me
Man coming to this video after the Damar Hamlin situation makes me realize how much of a miracle it is that he’s alive. He was one of the 10%. I can’t imagine the absolute horror to a family of your family member dying on national tv in front of millions of people. I’m so glad he made it through
As someone who works in Healthcare, the part of thinking you're a qualified Healthcare worker because you watch medical dramas cracks me up. LOVE IT!!!
I use to really believe
that before I actually went to school.
I have a list of bad CPR I've seen on TV that no one would survive. 🤣
I was rolling when the narrator said " They graduated from the school of couch potato" 🤭
Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought we weren't supposed to do the breath anymore. Just focus on the compressions since the blood headed towards the brain is oxygenated already, doing the breath can lose precious time.
You are correct!!
My dad died in my arms. I wasn't cpr certified and 911 talked me through it. I saw everything he saw when his life flashed before his eyes. It took the 1st responders 25 minutes. If i had paddles he would of most likely survived. I hate it when people don't pull over or yield for the rollers. They're on because someone maybe having a massive heart attack.
My father had a heart attack but was revived. He told me he felt such tranquility that he had never felt in his life before. Then he came to with the medical staff looking relieved saying that they thought they had lost him for a few moments.
I’ve buried most of my family as well as anyone hitting 50. My personal experiences have helped me in my law enforcement career to ease the pain of several different way of SUDS in my career but one thing is no matter what we treated any death like it was our loved one.
Thank you.

Lost both of my grandfathers so suddenly. One by a car accident, the other by an aggressive cancer that took him in months... Sudden death is so much harder to get over, but it makes you thankful that you're still here...
Watching this makes me feel extremely lucky. I was exercising, and felt strange and weak. Nausea came in waves. I ignored slight pain in my chest... I got super dizzy and rung the ambulance.
Got to hospital and a bout of dizziness ended it for me. CPR and defib later. After 10 minutes of work they got me back. This was in 2020! I had VT Mid LAD scad which is a tear in the artery.
That’s so scary!!!! I’m so glad you made it through

Maybe you should stay away from hospitals. My mother had cancer, but she was relatively OK until the doctors started treating her.
My fiance went into cardiac arrest at 28. She survived, but with the brain damage and physical therapy failure, she ended up passing away.
Me: Man these Infographics episodes are getting darker and more depressing
Infographics: hold my beer
Just an FYI we never shock when there's no rhythm. We do CPR until we have a shockable rhythm then we all stand back shock and continue CPR until their hearts automatic nervous system kicks in.
Also you're not dead until you're warm and dead. No matter what start heating up the person give them oxygen and start CPR immediately breaths aren't as important consistent CPR is the number one thing that you can do to increase the person's chances survival. Although you should put positive pressure into the lungs every once in awhile for the same reason why iron lungs. Periodically over-inflated the patient's lungs.
Inside the lungs there are these grape-like structures called alveoli where the exchange of oxygen actually happens but like a balloon they can sometimes get stuck and closed and you have to blow a little extra air in there to pop them open so that oxygen exchange can happen.
"we put the fun in funeral" had me dying😂
Scary how people also have cardiac arrests in the night . My mothers friend woke up to her husband dead beside her . Same thing happened to my uncle when he lost his wife in the night. Imagine waking up to your spouse as a corpse cold and stiff beside you. How horrific and how sad 😢

Happened to me as a nurse with a healthy spouse in a nursing home. This guy wasn’t our patient. Just a family member. He collapsed on the toilet, fell forward blue and dead. Just the fall off the toilet smashed his nose like a pancake. I’ve never seen a face so broken and smushed. I rolled the guy over, performed CPR. He was dead before I started as he was so blue in color. I performed CPR/BLS for 25mins ALONE on this stranger that I didn’t know his Level of Care or if he even had resuscitate orders if he was DNR. My HCA’s all stood by and watched me because they were either freaking out or poorly trained. So, I kicked them out and had too do chest compressions and breaths by myself. Which, is labourers for 25mins until the EMS came. I called for the AED but No Shock was advised. Legally, once I started. I could NOT Stop. I broke his ribs for sure. His nose was smashed while I had to breathe mouth to mouth into a mask. I could feel his lungs expanding and contracting with each breath. He Was Dead. I had too call the Police because that’s protocol for an unexpected death and someone not under out care.
This was one of the most Traumatic experiences in my nursing career…
It was the vaccine
Wow, that was a lot. And no help. You're amazing!

This story is just depressing poor jake
This video might save me or waste my brain,but this is educational and entertaining! keep up the good work!
Just remember your ABCs
A-airway is unobstructed and not constricted like during an asthma or allergy attack
B-breathing check for the rise and fall of the patient's chest count them.
C-circulation this is where you check the patient's pulse and if they don't have one you start CPR
Most of this can be done at the same time and you don't have to necessarily do ABC some people do CBA it doesn't matter much just do them quick and immediately if it's an auto accident or any other trauma accident where physical force was involved you should try and have a extra person hold their head still and make sure that their head and back don't move as much as possible if you need to roll them over you do a log roll where one person is on the shoulder one person is on the hip and one person is on the head to reduce torsion of the patient.
The Heimlich maneuver you put your fists held together with a thumb sort of making a triangle but not too sharp while you have them lean over and you lift them with your hands held firmly under their rib cage if that doesn't work have them bend over the back of a chair

I remember my final thoughts on my biggest surgery ever. 3 months ago I was planned for a C0-T2 spinal fusion. So they fused my skull, cervical spine and two of my thoracic vertebrae together, because my brainstem and spinal cord were pinched and one important brain vein stoped flowing. I had really horrible symptoms and was in a bad condition. I was lying in the OR after saying goodbye to my boyfriend and thought: „So, maybe that’s it. You can‘t survive such a major surgery.“ My last thought was: „my poor boyfriend.“
10 hours later I woke up and realized I survived it. It was a weird feeling because I was sure I would not. I Wonder what would have happened to me if I died. Endless blackness, white light? Nobody knows 🙈
You pulled through that's great news especially after such a surgery!.. much love ❤️ hope you live a happy and fulfilled life ❤️
I was at work one night, and some dude just collapsed. Probably heart attack. The paramedics doing CPR was the first time I saw it in real life. It's violent and brutal.
In some cases, people who got revived by CPR have broken ribs.
Hug loved ones close to you.

ma grandma died on Valentine’s Day of this year, I saw her in induced coma and laying there, I wanted to ask her how are you feeling? She couldn’t answer me back. I can’t believe she passed away. I need her, I can’t breathe normal after her passing. I wish she was here

~ Several diseases cause one to have sudden anger fits, usually it is high blood pressure from smoking, high cholesterol, or alcoholism.
These all cause excessive fatty tissues, & the anger fits are an attempt of the body to clear the blocked blood vessel passages.
Alcoholism also causes a depletion of electrolytes in the brain, which causes headaches, & thus anger fits.
Essentially, in all cases, your body is telling you that it needs much needed attention, & specific attention at that, which if it goes ignored, just ends up exacerbating any troublesome physical condition into a fatality.

A friend gave me some advise that saved my life. He said always keep sorbitrate pills in your wallet. Anytime you feel chest pain or somebody in front of you feels chest pain. Put one of the tablets under your tongue. I also carry aspirin. Survived 2 heart attacks. And have helped out my parents with the same tablet on a few occasions.

My mom passed away on a Saturday afternoon around 3:45 pm. Since she was age 73 and had a heart and lung condition the coroner ruled it natural causes. They shipped her from the ER to the funeral home and she was embalmed by 6:00pm. The faster they embalm a body the better it holds up. They don't do autopsies as often as you might think. If we wanted an autopsy it was going to cost around $6000. We had to pay for the autopsy up front as well. She died during a breathing treatment and I'll always wonder if the breathing treatment was the cause of her death. She was doing fine for her before it happened. She was actually having a good day.
Whoever's reading this, I pray that whatever your going through gets better and whatever your struggling with or worrying about is going to be fine and that everyone has a fantastic day!!
My only grandpa died very suddenly, by a heart attack, but doing he thing he loved the most: snow blowing. He loved taking care of the lawn and gardening. But still, it was extremely shocking to all of us.

I've survived five heart attacks and i've driven myself to the hospital all five times which is about 70 miles away. And i don't want to hear any of this mild heart attack stuff none of them were mild. If you ever had to run the mile in high school and pushed yourself to the point where it hurt to breathe that's what it felt like except i was laying in bed at about 2:00 in the morning with the first heart attack. I could feel extreme pain in my jaw my throat my chest and my left arm. And to tell you the truth i rolled myself a joint as i got dressed and drove to the hospital and i was just hitting my weed telling myself it can't be a heart attack or i would be dead. But they were heart attacks verified at the hospital with blood tests.
Been on the table, trying to find out cause of death as a pathologist, trying to find answers as accurate as possible. It's never easy for the family members and friends of the deceased, and even for pathologists but we have a work to do, no choice

I’m 32, last year on July 17th 2021 I went into cardiac arrest. Luckily my wife started cpr right away and I started breathing on my own slightly after a few minutes. It took the ambulance 9 minutes to arrive. I went into cardiac arrest 3 more times at the hospital. I was only shocked once though. After getting an implanted defibrillator and a heart catheterization I was sent home. It’s been a year and I still feel the effects. My memory isn’t nearly as good. I don’t remember the first 3 days in the hospital. Even with my heart medication I get angina(heart pain) randomly now. The crazy part was my Apple Watch kept going off that mourning, telling me I had a low heart rate. I’m grateful to still be here. The doctors told me how statistically improbable it was.

I still blame them for not working on him sooner! 😞
"It is appointed unto men once to die but after this, judgment."
Hebrews 9:27
That's true. But if we repent of our sins (Acts 3:19), fully trust in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior (John 3:16; Romans 10:9-10), and submit our lives to Him, we will have eternal life and will be with God in heaven for all eternity!
My auntie died of a heart attack recently.. she felt fine at first but died later
This happened to my dad, he was with a passenger, they said he stopped talking and drove off the road, he was dead in an instant, a cop just behind him, and started cpr, then had an ambulance take him to the hospital,he was gone that quick, he was 63 just got his first ss check, this was in 1995 a week before Christmas. My mom died less than 2 years before from cancer.
Extremely accurate! Good job Infographics! 👏
Reminds me when i almost died due to a seizure caused by bacterial meningitis. They told me i probably was gona die to say my goodbyes to my family 😔those words haunt me to this day and that was 2 years ago. Fortunately i made it and i can say dying is scary but peaceful. All i can say is , watch out for head injuries, thy can go bad real quick.
Had a friend I saw on a Saturday morning. She went grocery shopping, got home, unlocked the door, sat down and died right there as her daughter started bringing in the groceries.
As an EMT I can tell you that there is not a list of checkboxes like that
I worked at a hospital and this pretty accurate protocols that they go through.
my husband had his second heart attack one block from the hospital -we drove quickly to er and they came and took him in-they took me in a private room to tell me the bad news- a nurse came and said "we got him back!!" he lived another year-thank you God
Uh, I got a little emotional watching this. Probably because the two year anniversary of my dad's death is in a few days. He died in a car accident so it's a little different, but knowing he probably went through some of these stages.. just makes me sad.
This may sound weird but when I do die I hope it's not in a way that is inconvenient for others (I know it is). For example in the middle of a busy street or at a gathering, hopefully you guys get what I mean
yeah same i want my death to be a natural death with all my loved ones beside me
100% I also fear that if it's some messy gruesome scene in public, people will film my dying moments and upload them.
I hope I'm not on the toilet when I go
Me too. I want to go in my sleep, it seems the most peaceful to me.
I agree, I'd rather die peacefully. I don't wanna traumatize a whole town.
I know the "Staying Alive" thing is common knowledge. However, I read in a health magazine in my senior year that the number of chest compressions got doubled. So, I've started to find that interesting. Oh, and I read somewhere that the rescue breaths are based off an assumption.
That said, the rest of the video was pretty interesting, especially the cause of death. And I actually felt sorry for Becky at the end.
We aim for about 100bpm. That hasn’t changed for me in the last 18 years of healthcare.
And yes, we are still being taught the “stay alive” for CPR.
Death is just so sad any way you look at it, even when people I barely know or when celebrities die it feel a little sad, but when a child or mom and young kids dies it is especially Sad and tragic
There's a lot of beauty in life too man. The thing that helps me when I feel sad is to know that myself, my loved ones and everyone else exists, and that we are part of something that is bigger and more humbling than anything we could ever imagine. Death is an inevitability and I'm ready for it whenever but equally, I've still got to get to where I'm heading first!
@@KTBFFH that's actually a pretty nice way of looking at things. Thanks, I'm gonna try adopt that into my own life because I have a fear of my loved ones dying.
I’ve been abusing my ADHD meds heavily for a while now and I feel like this video is a sign to stop.
Probably won’t though.
Boy, that's sad.
Think about it and get help if you need it.
I am 56 years old. I had two heart attacks 6 months apart. Both were 100% occlusive, meaning my heart attacks were caused by blood clots blocking blood flow in my artery 100% totally blocked. The first one they did a catheter through my right wrist, removed the clot and placed a stent on the front artery of my heart. The second heart attack was the same type but on the backside of my heart and did the catheter through my groin artery and removed the clot and placed a stent on the backside artery of my heart. Technology advancements in medicine is amazing. They used a wire as thin as fishing line to clear the clot and then place a stent which is a wire looking mesh so thin that you can barely see it when it is expanded.
I am so lucky and blessed to have survived both without any damage to my heart. The skill and knowledge of the doctors and the skill and knowledge of the inventor and manufacturers of these technologies are a blessing. After hearing the statistics on the survival rate of out of hospital heart attacks, I realize more how lucky and blessed I am. During both attacks, when in the ambulance, I wasn’t in any real pain or scared. Just some heavy pressure on my chest. I was cracking jokes with paramedics. I don’t remember much of it at all. But when I went back to thank the paramedics, they told me that I was a hoot and that they never saw someone as relaxed and funny as I was. They didn’t expect me to make it. When I went to the hospital to thank the doctors, they and the nurses that were there said the same things.
I was shocked and surprised. Always remember to thank people for what they do. From janitors to doctors and wait staff. Without the people who do all sorts of tasks from great to small, we wouldn’t be where we are today and the world be as great as it is. Be thankful for everything that you have and always remember to pass it forward.
That breath being released scared TF out of me 🤣
Breaths are not recommended for CPR anymore, just focus on the chest compressions. Call 911 *before* starting. -- if you're in public place, shout for an AED machine.
There was a kid in my dad's high school. A really good basketball player. He was a senior and had several schools looking at him. One day in a game he went up for a lay-up and was dead before he came back down.
It was in the early 60's, I think 1961, and it was just like this. His heart just stopped beating.
Same thing happened to famous NBA player Pete Maravich "Pistol Pete" he was playing a pick up game at a local gym and died immediately just like your example
13 and 250+ bpm
back then they were not advanced. just enjoy life that's all u can do
@@billysmith5721 Even if it happened today this kid would have died.
anyone else notice how a lot of “totally healthy” athletic men die in this way? what’s up with that?
My dad went into Cardiac arrest, he was dead until my fiancee gave him cpr on the fourth try he came through, but he went into vegetative state and didn't come out of it, so we had to withdraw care for him. He died on November 9th of last year. 😢
