The Man Who Died 9 Times: Jamie Poole

Rob Konrad: Conversations With Extraordinary People #006

The first time Jamie Pool died, he was wearing a suit.

That suit turned out to be the difference between his cardiac arrest going unnoticed by passers-by, and him getting medical help that would save his life. Jamie suffers from a heart condition called hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, an often undetectable, but fairly widespread, genetic disease that causes unpredictable cardiac arrests.

Today Jamie copes with his illness through the use of a subcutaneous device called an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) — essentially a defibrillator machine that is permanently attached to his heart. But over the last decade, Jamie experienced dying nine times — four of which happened on consecutive Thursdays!

In this episode of Rob Konrad: Conversations, Jamie talks to Rob about near-death experiences, his thoughts on the afterlife ,coincidences that feel supernatural, and having astonishingly good luck. He tells rob what it feels like to die, and how he finds meaning in life without religious belief, and without being able to plan a future with any certainty.
