I was 5 or 6 yrs old and lived on Miami Beach, Florida. My cousins and I were playing in the back yard in our bathing suits. We were spraying each other with a hose on the cement slab back patio. There was an air conditioning unit in the den—an in-wall unit—that was plugged in, but not turned on. It wasn't grounded. The back of the unit stuck out to the back where we were playing. I got too close to the air conditioning unit and was sucked to it. I was unable to break free, as I was receiving a terrific electrical shock. My cousins ran into the house screaming and got my mother and aunt. Anyone who tried to help me by touching me got shocked as well.
My story is painful to try to explain, but it is a strange situation of attempted murder/incited and assisted suicide. The year was 2016, and I was 20 years old at the time.
My "friend" watched me as I began to pass away after she tried to murder me. I began seizing and asphyxiating on my vomit. At this point, she decided to backpedal and called 911, telling them I attempted suicide. I had to be resuscitated shortly after the paramedics arrived.
In the ER, I had to be administered medication through a PIC line to my heart. I was placed into a comatose state and on a ventilator. However, my prognosis was death. I sustained septic shock, and my kidneys began to fail. By some miracle, however, I woke up after a week-long coma.
Having undiagnosed Celiac disease, I'd had a myriad of medical issues throughout life that caused a number of very serious and life-threatening emergency surgeries.
When I was 5 years old, in the mid-1950s, I had to have my tonsils and adenoids removed. I was told we were going to the hospital to take my tonsils out, but no one explained to me what that really meant.
My NDE occurred while I was hospitalized with a post-surgical staph infection that went septic. Antibiotics had not been effective to that point, and I was in considerable pain. My vital signs were erratic, and I'd experienced some hallucinations. I was conscious and able to converse with caregivers and family members.
