WELCOME BACK LAZARUS: Coming Back from the Brink Is Hard Work
Two years ago, I had a surreal experience. I thought that I had died. 

That statement is suspiciously ambiguous, I know, but it's true. I suffered sudden anaphylaxis in the wee hours of one Saturday morning alone in my bathroom, struggled to stay alive, blacked out, was conscious for a few more minutes, and then, in the words of my wife and daughter (who had awakened by this time), collapsed lifeless onto the bathroom floor. From the time that I blacked out, I didn't come to any conscious sense until almost 30 hours later when I awoke in ICU.When I awoke mid-morning on Sunday, I couldn't remember anything. 

  • I didn't know where I was 
  • I didn't know why there were people around me
  • I couldn't make out what they were saying
  • I couldn't communicate to them in a satisfactory way
It was as if I had just been born, and all of the happy faces (a few serious ones) and all of the busy activity surrounding me seemed to be a collective, Welcome to the world, Robbie!

Where I awoke(Williamson Medical Center: Franklin, TN)Hey, my experience isn't unique by any means. Thousands of people, I imagine, are saved from peril everyday. But next is where my story derailed me for a good month initially, and then for the better part of a year. It came back to me in little, unwanted memory-seizures, but I slowly realized that something happened to me while I was under. And it involved my consent.I can't tell you the story here, or there's no reason for you to download this little book.
