While the nurses on my team did CPR on me, the EMT’s finally showed up and got me into the ambulance I was taken to the hospital. One of my super amazing teammates went with me. Thank god she did. The EMT’s gave me several epinephrine shots and used the defibrillator on me. When we got to the hospital I still did not have a strong heart beat. To this day I swear I feel like such a dick for putting people through this, but I am grateful they were there for me.
When they got a heart rate and got me as stable as possible they went ahead and did brain cooling on me. When I was told this, I thought the put coolant in my blood, like a car’s cooling system, Transformer type thing. Silly imagination, it was not at all like that. People who visited me during this time told me that I felt like ice. Kind of eerie that before I was considered to be living or dying, I was in a cold death like state in order to give me chance to live. I am not sure how long they did this to me, but the outcome at this point was not good for me. It’s pretty amazing what putting someone on ice can do.
