There are some things Lonny Wand does not remember about his oh-so-close brush with death. The ambulance ride to the hospital, time spent in the emergency room, and three of his twelve days in the intensive care unit at the hospital are just a few examples of what he does not remember. He also cannot pinpoint the moment when he was seconds from death, but it likely was shortly before an ambulance arrived at his home and the paramedics inserted a plastic tube into his trachea to open his airway so he could breathe.
