Summary

Reddit user Generic Box was 20-years-old when they had their first out-of-hospital sudden cardiac arrest -- meaning, their heart just suddenly stopped beating. After being diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, eight more sudden cardiac arrests and "deaths" happened to them. In this episode, we dive into their Reddit AMA and get to the heart of what it's like to cheat death and their various near death experiences.

0:00.0	This podcast covers mature, intense, morbid, and sometimes just scary stuff. Listener discretion is advised.
0:06.0	What happens when one person dies nine times and comes back to tell the tale? Welcome to 30 Morbid
0:13.0	minutes. This is the podcast where we cover topics, people, places, history, and ideas of a morbid, macab, dark, and downright grisly nature.

1:30.0	Okay, so they're a little kitty cat.
1:31.6	Yeah, they're basically a cat.
