商品描述
In the early morning hours of Feb. 1, 2016, Karl Gustafson became instinctively aware that something catastrophic was happening inside him. A severe headache that had persisted for days had taken a sudden turn for the worse, and a clear inner voice ordered him to obtain immediate help. With determined effort, he tapped out the digits "9-1-1" on his phone--bringing an ambulance to his door quickly and saving his life. Emergency Room doctors would soon learn that Professor Gustafson, a renowned American mathematician, had suffered a deep brain hemorrhage, and that the situation was dire. By the time his condition was diagnosed, blood had pooled into all four ventricles of Gustafson's brain and he was comatose.
Against all odds and surprising everyone, the author emerged from a near-death state to go on to what he calls his "Second Life". This is the story of his miraculous journey of recovery, an inspirational tale of grit and determination, in his own words.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
在2016年2月1日的清晨，卡爾·古斯塔夫森（Karl Gustafson）本能地意識到自己體內發生了某種災難性的事件。持續數天的劇烈頭痛突然惡化，內心傳來一個清晰的聲音，命令他立即尋求幫助。懷著堅定的決心，他在手機上撥打了「9-1-1」，迅速叫來了救護車，拯救了他的生命。急診室的醫生很快得知，古斯塔夫森教授這位著名的美國數學家，遭遇了深層腦出血，情況非常危急。當他的病情被診斷出來時，血液已經積聚在古斯塔夫森大腦的四個腦室中，他已經昏迷不醒。
儘管面對重重困難，並讓所有人感到驚訝，這位作者從濒死狀態中復甦，開始了他所稱的「第二人生」。這是他奇蹟般康復之旅的故事，是一個關於毅力和決心的鼓舞人心的故事，出自他自己的口述。
