Have you experienced a “life and death” situation?
Masterworla:
hehe my whole life been wagering around life and death. luck isn't exactly my best friend.
DeadSpaceX:
1st time, birth, premature. doctors expected me to die.
2nd time, pneumonia hospitalized for 1 1/2 years 4 to 5 yrs old, parents did seek a priest.
3rd time, 8 yrs old, drowning (i don't float, i sink)
4th time, 24, driving in an icestorm combination of wind gust and swerving to avoid tractor+trailer rig put me in a deep ditch at 60mph (90kph) heading for a concrete culvert with no traction for braking. managed to accelerate out before impact. mustang II cobra...no one in the car would have survived.
5th time, my old nemesis pneumonia, 37, tried to tough it out until everything below my waist went numb...it had infected my spinal fluid (docs still don't understand how) they didn't give me a great prognosis for surviving since it was something they hadn't dealt with before.
not religious, never will be. and in most situations there's no time for anything. relatives/family might seek a religious figure, if i'm completely unconscious, i'd refuse otherwise.
