So you LOST three more pints of blood than the human body contains?
Yeah, I'd call that 'near death', all right.
Hint: *The average healthy male human body contains less than 11 pints
of blood.
This may, however, explain the obvious brain damage....

Now, now. *It is perfectly possible to "lose" that amount of blood in
total if you make it to the hospital still alive and they start
pumping lots of blood INTO you while you are still having blood flow
OUT of you. *At any given moment of time you might not be down more
than, say, 4 pints - but after they finally stop the bleeding and give
you enough blood to get you back to "normal", you find out that they
transfused 13 pints of blood into you during the whole procedure.

He said he LOST that much. *In English, that means he was DOWN that
much.

Hell, if they give you a slow leak and pump it in as it leaks out,
you're nowhere near death but you could 'lose' 100 gallons of blood.

That's not what most sensible people mean when they talk about how
much blood someone lost.

I bled out my butt like a garden hose, had a lifeflight helicopter
ride, and very nearly died at 28...... they pushed blood... and gave
me many units of blood platets. to aid clotting the blood gushed out
between my legs, dripping on the floor.....

dr young who cared for me he was really glad i survived, its tough on
the staff when they lose people so young.....

i am 54 its hard to believe how fast that time went by... i spent many
days in the trauma unit........

I believe I got a look at heaven my BP tanked.....

this has helped when family and friends have died. what i saw was so
beautiful i wanted to go back there.....

i believe they are in a better place

Many people who used to read the group more regularly will be saddened
to hear of this... anyone who has read him remembers warmly. He did
mention his situation in past years even in the middle of characteristic
mirth. Always keep it light and good luck to him in the next life.

From a stomach injury I lost ~ 8 #'s of blood, 4-5 I puked into
bags for weighing, and est. 3-4#'s down the pooper, was in and
out of consciousness, but could walk if I tried.
The white light becomes prominent, probably due to lack of BP.
The lack of BP gives one a false feeling of 'well being', I suppose
that would make a 'near death' experience enlightening.
IIRC a unit of blood is a pint and weighs about 1#.

The medics topped me up with 6 units and a few days rest in
ICU.
That occurred in Vernon BC, very well treated.
