4 years ago, internal bleeding, lost six units of blood, which had to be pumped out of my stomach. Unknown cause.

On the bright side, I did get to ride in an ambulance whizzing down the freeway with the siren and lights going.

I may have you guys beat... maybe I'm disqualified from this thread because I didn't just ALMOST die... I actually DID die; drowned actually, ironically during a swim class when I was in elementary school.

Of course I remember none of this, but according to witnesses, and what my mom tells me, I was turning blue and unresponsive, possibly no pulse, and the lifeguard literally brought me back to life.
