Pat recollects the frightful incident and says,
‘I was in the foetal position, lying on the bed. So, they try to give you various drugs for the pain, and none of it – none – was working. And then they gave me something, I couldn't even tell you the name of it, but suddenly, I wasn't thinking about the pain. I just had these beautiful pastels and lovely faces coming out of it. I remember thinking, not in a morbid way, 'I think this must be death. This must be what death is like.' And, all I thought was – hearing their voices, I thought, 'Boy, their lives are gonna change now.'’
Due to this, he had taken a month’s break from work and prioritized his health. However, due to his resilience and will, he bounced back to better shape in no time and is now living a healthy life.
