I was in a coma for a week and a half after being hit by a car.  I had kidney 
and gall stones as a result of being on the IVs. I was 30 minutes away from 
my appendix exploding.  I've eaten bad acid, passed out, blacked out, near 
drounded all in only 16 years.  Ya may be a couple steps ahead of me Dave, 
but I'm comin up on ya fast.
