I was once in a similar fate and I owe my life to a dear friend.

In 1997, I had an appendectomy that went horribly wrong.

The doctor nicked an artery while operating.

I lost more than half my blood, so he cut me open from my chest to the pelvic bone, fixed the bleeding artery and after a transfusion I lay in a coma for 5 days.

The nurse turned on the TV while attending to me in coma. My friend was a celebrated chef and had a program, which happened to be on when the nurse turned on the TV.

Sometimes, I can’t stand her voice, so I got up and turned off the TV...

Life happens...
