Things got so bad that he bled to death, losing nearly two and a half liters of blood, and his heart stopped before doctors revived himAgainst all odds.
Kevin recalls: “I wasn’t looking at my body, but I was separate from my body. It was like I was in the realm of spirit: I was aware of what was happening but I had a lot of peace“.
“I knew I was bleeding. I knew it was serious. Staff were going in and out to stop the bleeding.”
“I was looking sideways at NHS personnel trying to save me, but I knew I was dead. I was separated from my body”he remembered.
Kevin recalls that unique moment: “It’s like I fell asleep and woke up alive, and the bleeding stopped. I knew it wasn’t my time to die. This situation made me refocus my priorities,” he recalls.
