My boss had an episode on Christmas Eve. He still hasn't told me yet, but his son told me they were sitting at the dining table and all the sudden his dad turned a pale gray / green color, his eyes rolled back and to the left then his body started twisting out of the chair, completely incoherent. Friend said if he didn't catch his Dad that he would have fell into their china cabinet. Friend thought his dad was dying in his arms! Paramedics came first thing they asked was if he was vaxed and then was treating it like a death and had the whole neighborhood blocked off. Friends dad spent a day in the hospital and the prognosis was dehydration / fatigue (yea right). Soooooo, now friends dad is out to prove to everyone he's perfectly healthy and has been backcountry skiing every single day since this happened. Now he's going scuba diving next week! Apparently the whole family is worried it is gonna happen again, and have been fighting him tooth and nail to not scuba dive and to not ski alone.
Anyone else have something like this happen to their friends or family?
Almost exact same story happened in front of my eyes last summer. Friend turned grey (he is 60, healthy, no issues, plays tennis) and fell into a stupor and pissed himself. I couldn't get any vitals off of him. Was on phone w/ 911 about to start CPR when he took a breath. He eventually, about 7 minutes in was making noises but unable to move his body. By the time EMS got there at 9 minutes in, he knew his name, date and where he was but still unable to move. 2 days in the hospital and they found nothing other than he had a latent condition - WPW - an extra electrical pathway in his heart. He basically rebooted in front of us. At least he didn't get the blue screen of death.
