Hi user...

Hi user, looking back on my life I see several instances where I probably shouldn't have survived or had I been living in another time I definitely would have died. What are your experiences like this?

When I was 11 my appendix ruptured. Had a 106 degree fever and was lucky to come out of it with no lasting problems. They DID need to keep the incision open to allow the pus to drain and packed 3 times a day for over a a month with gauze and Betadine solution...with no anasthetic. Was fucking brutal.

I have a blood clotting disorder that causes my blood to clot extremely fast. Not knowing this and over the course of my life, I accumulated masses of blood clots in my lungs and pulmonary arteries. At 27 I had to have them removed surgically. The mass they took out of my left lung was nine and a half inches at it's longest point and the one in my right was 7 inches in length. Insane experience. Here's a photo of what was removed. Shouldn't have survived.

While being robbed I was shot at by someone less than ten feet away. He missed by less than an inch and ran off...I'm a lucky fella.

I was driving my moms car to school, back when I was in community college. I had been up for a couple days at a rave and was in no shape to drive. Anyway, I ended up rear ending the car in front of me. My mom is uber catholic, so she had a visor clip of some saint and it dug into my head and partially scalped me, about 4 inches of my skull was exposed and I can't grow hair there now. It may have been a good thing because I decided then and there to stop using drugs.

I had cancer in the early 90's. Had I been born any earlier than that the chemotherapy (Vincristine) probably wouldn't have been readily available enough for me to have survived.

Damn user, thats rough. What kind did you have, if you don't mind me asking?

I had a colonoscopy a month ago, and I almost shit my brains out. Does that count?

totalled motorcycle into a wire fence at around 70mph, it twisted around the wire three times and had to be cut out (it was fucked)
i was standing there looking at it dumbfounded without so much as a bruise - can't recall tumbling through the air, hitting the ground, nothing. I literally blinked out to standing there looking at my bike, completely unhurt
made me believe in quantum immortality anyway, come at me logic fags

Consider, what if this is true...

We are immortal, in a way, because we never get to experience death. We cease to exist in the timeline in which we die, so instead, we continue to exist. Eventually, we end up in some incredibly improbable future, like being brought back to life 100.000 years in the future or something. I read a short story about this and the more I think about it, the more it make sense.

So everyone you know, or know of, who has died, somewhere in the multiverse they are still alive somehow.

If this is true, then the only way to escape hell is probably to change your life so that you actually enjoy it. Death is no escape. The older you get, the harder it is to turn a miserable life around into a happy one, so you best start now if you don't want to spend eternity in hell.

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck bro, glad you're alright

Wilm's Tumor on my right kidney, stage 2. I only have one kidney, but it works fine. I was just looking into it and I guess I was on regimen EE-4A for 18 months after the surgery. I just remember getting shots in the chemo port once a week for a long time. I don't remember much of it, just a few random facts I picked up here and there. I was 4 at the time so I wouldn't have understood any of this shit anyway.

Okay I'm tired and I fucked up explaining this. We just keep existing in a timeline in which we're still alive. How can we be aware of being dead, when being dead is ceasing to exist... fuck I wish I could find that story, it explained things so much better.

Dude, I'm totally down with that. I've thought of this as well. Do you recall the story you read? I would love to read it.

Nah bro, I get it. I'm just floored someone else thinks this too.

It's like the multiverse theory where every action and decision causes one universe to branch off into other universes where the outcome is different. As a person you are user Prime BUT when the outcome of a situation is death Prime moves on and survives while a different version on user perishes. Something like that?

A ton of people.... I jumped 5 stories and still living. Ugh some metal in me but aluve. Lookup quantum suicide

5 fucking stories!!! Jesus fuck, thats insane

Yeah I didn't do my research on survival rates from falls before attempting suicide. Gotta go over 80ft to reach terminal velocity and almost guarantee death. I was at like 70% so yay I'm addicted to painkillers now.

Damn, I'm sorry it hurt so bad you tried to an hero. I've come close a few times.

In this version of reality. Have fun

Mostly a lot of alcohol-related instances I can't remember that were told to me later. Eventually stumbled in to AA

I have blocked out a good seven or so memories like this in my life
