Initially I thought this might be made up, but a liar would probably come up with a more believable story. I hope you survive your future dealings with psychopathic murderers, cancer, the mob, your friends ex lovers and whatnot. Though I find it hard to believe that you were without heartbeat for 12 minutes, unless you were already on life support at the same time. The maximum time a persons brain can stay alive after their heartbeat stops is usually around 10 minutes, with each minute passing decreasing your survival odds by about 10%. Or so I have heard? If you were truly gone for 12 minutes and managed to come back that would raise several interesting questions. What was that like? Did you have a near death experience? I once died for a minute or so due to suffocation and there was nothing to be seen and felt. What was it like in your case? Please forgive my curiosity, but if your story is true then you are one of very few people who can answer what dying is like.
