What Was That Like - True Stories. Real People.

I
wonder if this ever happens to you.

Maybe
you’re visiting someone and you’re staying overnight. Or you’re
on a trip and you’re staying in a hotel or an Airbnb. And that
first time you wake up, you have a brief few seconds where you’re a
little disoriented. Like, “Hey, where am I? This is not my bedroom.
This is not my bed”. But then it comes back to you – oh yeah, I’m
away from home right now.

I
would think it would be even worse if you woke up and realized you’re
in a hospital bed.

For
the podcast, I typically don’t do stories that are mainly centered
around the guest being in a coma. It’s an interesting concept for
sure, but just the fact that someone was in a coma would make for a
difficult episode. I mean, how can you tell a detailed story when you
were asleep for most of it?

Today
we’re going to hear from Scott. He was in a coma for a while. And
then he had that experience of trying to figure out “why am I in a
hospital...what is going on”. But his story is not really about him
being in a coma.

It’s
about what the doctor told him when he woke up.

Have you ever had a feeling of impending doom? Like you just knew
something bad was about to happen?

Quite
a few years ago, I was in New York City. I went with a friend to a
late comedy show, and when it was over we got on the subway to get
back to the hotel. This was pretty late, like 2 am or maybe even
later. We were on the train, waiting for the doors to close.
Personally, I was feeling fine. But my friend, Teri, was more aware
of our surroundings. There were a few other people on the train and
she did not feel comfortable at all. She said that we needed to get
off the train before the doors closed. So we did.

I
didn’t get it at the time. But Teri just had this bad feeling that
something was about to happen and it was not going to turn out well
for us. But whatever it was, we took a taxi instead and got back
safely.

My
guest today is Jessica. She is an avid rock climber out in the
Pacific Northwest. She was involved in setting up a climbing event
for hundreds of people, and she just kept having this feeling that
something was very wrong. And she was right.
