Observations placeholder

I remember going to the hospital that day.  My parents had gone into a room [the admitting office] when suddenly I heard a whooshing sound in my ears.  I felt like you feel when you go over a bump in a car going real fast, and you feel your stomach drop out.  I heard a buzzing sound in my ears.

The next thing I knew, I was in a room crouched in a corner of the ceiling.  I could see my body below me.  It was real dark, you know.  I could see my body because it was lit up with a light, like there was a light bulb inside me

I could see the doctors and nurses working on me.  My doctor was there and so was Sandy, one of the nurses.  I heard Sandy say 'I wish we didn't have to do this' [this is correct she did say this].  I wondered what they were doing.  I saw a doctor put jelly on my chest.  My hair was really messed up.  It seemed greasy, and I wished that I had washed my hair before coming to hospital.  They had cut my clothes off, but my pants were still on.

I heard a doctor say 'Stand back' and then he pushed a button on one of the paddles.  Suddenly I was back in my body.  One minute I was looking down at my face, I could see the tops of the doctors' heads.  After he pushed that button, I was suddenly looking into the doctor's face.  Man that hurt.  It hurts just thinking about how much it hurt.  I will never forget how much it hurt when the doctor pushed that button.  I still have dreams about how much it hurt.

Sometimes I wake up at night screaming from that pain
