EXPERIENCE DESCRIPTION:

It was 2:30 AM when the heart attack hit me, I was transported to the hospital ER, in there by 3 AM, there were about 6 ER people working on me, I was in an out of consciousness the whole time, all of a sudden everyone was gone and there was this bright, bright light ( all I could think of was from what I heard about the bright light that this was it ) so I said out loud "OH SHIT" than one of the nurses that was standing next to my head said to me WHAT and I came back to consciousness and could see everyone again. They prepared me for a catheterization and ballooned me and inserted a stint.
