I had caught a bug somewhere and I couldn't keep anything down for a couple of days. Then I stopped being able to pass water. Through my feverish delirium, I remembered from the show that this meant severe dehydration. My family thought I could wait until the next day, but I insisted that I needed to go to the ER right then. By the time I got there I could barely stand. After several hours and 3 bags of IV fluids I was out of the woods. When I asked the nurse what would have happened had I waited she said I would have had a heart attack and died in my sleep. I'm a young man! I know this is not a wilderness story, but it's my life! THANK YOU BEAR GRYLLS AND MAN VS. WILD!

good story..

hope you remind your family EVERY DAY about the mistake they made that could have killed you.

thank goodness you were smart enough to remember that information in your feverish delirium..

i think the nurse was pulling your leg..
i have never heard of someone having a heart attack from being dehydrated.

make sure you point out to your family every day about how you and the who saved your life vs their thinking you would make it to morning..
