KC experienced a massive bilateral pulmonary embolism three days after being discharged from the hospital where she had been treated for near-fatal sepsis peritonitis with three abdominal washouts. While walking with her mother to regain strength, a blood clot that had formed behind her knee traveled to her lungs. She went into cardiac arrest at home, experiencing tunnel vision before telling her mother to catch her as she collapsed.
During the cardiac arrest, KC heard something similar to applause or white noise - a muffled sound that was difficult to identify precisely. She experienced an overwhelming sense of euphoria and freedom as all the complexities of living melted away. She found herself looking down at what appeared to be a stage with lights lining the edge. She observed the lights at her feet slowly transforming into wood. The sound she heard was pure static, but she felt neither confused nor scared by it. The feeling was one of complete liberation from all worldly concerns. When KC regained consciousness, she still felt wonderful for about thirty seconds before realizing she was in grave danger. She was on the floor looking up at the staircase and banister from an unusual perspective. EMTs initially misdiagnosed her condition as a panic attack due to her young age. She flatlined three more times after arriving at the hospital, with CPR performed manually due to her 24-inch surgical incision held by a wound vac. KC woke up two days later to see her sister who lived thousands of miles away, initially thinking she had died. She survived despite expectations and reports feeling fundamentally changed - processing information differently with sharper memory. She no longer fears death, certain that she is not merely her physical body.
