My heart stopped while driving last week and I'm in the hospital with nothing better to do AMA

1 month ago 25

So I had a cardiac arrest 2.5 years ago and my heart stopped for about an hour. They brought me back and I fully recovered (it was super difficult). I had kidney failure and was on dialysis (full recovery). I have a very rare disease called cardiac sarcoidosis but I've been sarcoid free for a while now. The problem is it left scarring on my heart and caused me to go into v tach whole driving last week. My pacemaker shocked me back as I was in the middle of the freeway still driving. I'm currently waiting on a PVC ablation surgery and bored as hell. I'm 40 year old male.

They think I got the disease from the burn pits in Iraq.
