Medical history

On July 21, 2021 I suffered a sudden cardiac death. This idiopathic occurrence was reversed by CPR and immediate medical care. I was given CPR for 20 minutes and aspirated twice. My body was already shutting down. By the time I made it to the hospital, they followed a protocol that would keep my vitals going. I was in the hospital for a week, but intubated for four days. My life changed my family?s lives changed.. The overall hospital stay was close to $300,000. luckily, I had insurance from my current job, but I am still paying off that medical debt. They wouldn?t let me leave the hospital without an external defibrillator which I had to wait for, and would continue to wear this for over a year. The equipment cost $36,000 all while I was unable to work my job or operate my vehicle. I have since been visiting a cardiologist in (withheld) Who has prescribed me atorvastatin for the last four years at 20 mg a dose. My entire life scope has changed. I am extremely tired every day I face all of these mental issues due to my survival and entire process of coping through this extreme life event which came ironically two months to the date after my second Pfizer vaccine. I was told that I was not able to pursue any legal litigation and advise to try to just live life like nothing happened. But my entire life has changed.
