A couple of times, actually. When I was born, I was early and only weighed 4 pounds, but the nurses weighed me wrong and thought I was 5 pounds, and didn't put me in a resperator, which I actually needed, so I wasn't actually breathing. Fortunately my grandmother noticed.
Then when I was, oh, around 1 1/2 or 2 I had some kidney issue and my mother had to rush me to hospital because I was throwing up blood. Not sure if I was 'near death' then, though.
Then, when I had my wisdom teeth out at 16, I 'coded' when I was under anesthesia - my heart stopped or something. Not long or anything. I go into shock sometimes when I'm under anesthesia.
But that's it. Nothing terribly dramatic, in the end. I don't remember seeing lights or loved ones or anything.
