[spuds1961]

Wow jermz that's bad working for an ambulance company I can relate.My own scariest moment was about 25 years ago when I had a 79 camaro.I was going to pick up a friend and I was running late so I was going about 60 on a sidestreet when I hit a dip in the road.The car became airborn and when it hit it flipped over,I managed to crawl out the passenger window and right after I got out the roof collapsed.After that I never really got in a rush to go anywhere.Take care Steve.

I almost killed a coworker. He was a handyman and was helping me replace a window in my kitchen. He was removing the old window and needed some help. He thought about putting tape on the window before removing it but decided not to. Well here I was in the kitchen trying to get the old window out and he was outside getting ready to receive it from me. The window fell on him and the glass broke, cutting him in the forearm. I immediately went outside, took off my sweatshirt and wrap around the cut and tighten it as much as I can. I then drove him to the ER about 10 minutes away. I was scared to death that I had killed him but he survived.

About 2 and 1/2 months ago I was in the hospital. I was diagnosed with Auto-Immune Hemolitic Anemia. This disease can easily kill you. I was in the Hospital for 1 week. The first day, I immproved pretty steadily, but the next night it took a turn for the worst. That was the scariest moment of my life. I fell asleep saying the Lord's Prayer over and over, not knowing if I was going to wake up. Luckily, I've shown steady improvement since then, but I'm still freaked out by what happened.

One of the most haunting experiences while I was in the Hospital was in the middle of the night. The ward I was in also was the word for Cancer and Leukemia. At like 3 a.m. one night a doctor told an entire family that their child had just died. They were shrieking. They're screams are still clear in my mind.

1. The time I had a gun pulled on me. Drunk ex-cop, mistaken identity, not fun at all.

2. One I'd rather not speak about, but I can say I was a victim of a violent crime, not fun at all either.

I have had a lot of scary moments in my 27 years on the planet. I was 16 years old driving home one night on a backroad close to my parents house. I wound up seeing a set of eyes coming across the field at my car. I clipped a dog and spun a few times and stopped a few feet from smashing into a telephone pole. I was that shaky that I tried to start my car a few times not knowing I pushed the clutch in and kept the car running.

I was coming home from the bars a few years ago, and I was about a mile away from my parents house and I saw a few deer at the corner of my eye. All of a sudden they run into the middle of the road and I swerved to avoid them. Wound up jumping my car into a cornfield and couldn't get out.

2 of my buddies and I were on Buttonwood St. in Reading at a friends place at night and as we were leaving, we heard 2 gunshots that sounded like they were really close. Here on Green St. aside of Buttonwood, 2 people were shot and killed.

Last year, I went in for a shower before going to bed. I decided that I was going to check on my g/f and see when she was coming to bed. I came around the corner to head into the livingroom, and she was having a seizure. I was never so scared in my life. I called 911 and she bite down on her tongue really bad, so there was a lot of blood. I had to make sure she didn't swallow her tongue, which I am so glad she didn't. I didn't stop shaking for hours after the ambulance got her to the hospital.

Two easiest:

I pitched in high school. Nickname was "Wild Thing" because well, I threw harder than anyone on the team and usually didn't know where the ball was going. On one of my worse days, I hit a batter straight in the helmet full force with a 92 MPH fastball (the highest I had been clocked). He hit the ground full force and wasn't moving. He was down on the ground for at least 10 minutes before they got him back up. He was woozy, but ok. Scary moment thinking you may have just seriously injured someone. After the game the coach gave me the batting helmet to keep (no hard feelings were had - they knew I wasn't trying to hit him). There was a crack near the earflap where I hit him.

Absolute scariest moment:

Christmas morning when my youngest daughter was around 3. I was at my parent's house and they had all gone to church and took my older daughter with them. She and I woke up early and were watching cartoons together. Then she said "daddy, I'm sleepy" and laid down to take a nap on the couch next to me. About 30 minutes later, she rolls on her side and starts throwing up and convulsing with her eyes going back into her head. I grabbed the phone and called 911 immediately (first time I ever had to call 911) and a few minutes later her seizure stopped but she was burning up and wasn't responding to me. Came to find out when we got her to the hospital that an infection that hadn't shown itself shot her body temp to 104 in about 10 minutes time, causing the seizure. If I hadn't called, she wouldn't be around today and be my little Al. (her name is Alex).
