Hi, my name is Lewis Howes and welcome to the Daily Motivation Show.

I honestly just entered the hospital feeling really sick and had no idea that I'd be,

I mean, I was on my deathbed, like within 24 hours. I was absolutely fighting for my life. And put into an induced coma because they didn't know what I had at this point. So I entered the hospital. They had no idea what I had except that I was in septic shock. All my organs were failing and hemorrhaging. Everything but my heart and my brain. So all my other organs were hemorrhaging and not working.

And so they put me on life support right away.

Told my parents I had less than a 2% chance of living.

This is in 24 hours, within those next day.

Yes, within the next day.

And then I was immediately put into an induced coma because my body was completely shutting down and that's how they try to kind of stabilize you a little bit. It calms you down a little bit. Yeah. So you're not fighting so hard. Yeah. Interesting. Yep. And. What does that mean? They just give you a drug or what do they do? Yeah. you go in and they do they give you some kind of, I forget what it's called, but they do they give you some kind of thing in your IV and I remember my it was a really big deal. You just go to sleep. Yeah my it was really hard for my parents. You can imagine because at you know, they didn't know if they'd see me again. So this was like, I remember I actually was awake when my dad signed the papers to like basically put me on life support. So you may not wake up. Yeah. This is the only option, essentially. You're going to, you'll die if we don't do this. Oh my gosh. Yeah. So, um wasn't breathing, not that I wasn't breathing good, I was, I was gasping

for air because my lungs had failed.

So, or had collapsed.

So I just remember, you know, gasping for air and that my dad was signing this paperwork

and everyone was crying. and that was like my last

memory.

See you guys never.

Oh my gosh.

Were you freaking out?

Were you scared?

You know what?

There's always humor and tragedy.

Of course.

And I remember it feeling so surreal like an outer body experience and thinking,

you guys, aren't we taking this a little seriously?
