People who've come close to death: what happened?

The doctor that saw me at my small town emergency assumed my stomach hurt due to a bladder infection. I lost thirty pounds in the four hours prior from puking and the runs which made me severely dehydrated which in turn made it impossible for me to give him the urine sample he wanted. The doc wanted to put me on an IV until I could give him said urine sample after that I don't remember much. Something about getting an ambulance then a brief moment waking up in the ambulance and then a final brief moment being rolled down the hallway at the real hospital where a doctor informed me they finally had some pain killers for me. My appendix had ruptured and I spent the next five days after surgery at the hospital with a hemovac slowly draining the remaining poison out of my stomach. I don't know how close exactly I came to death but considering a normal appendectomy is day surgery that leaves you with a barely visible scar and I have four inch long thick one I would say I came much closer than necessary
