When [I was sure I was dying after being stabbed next to my heart](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ask-the-guy-who-was-stabbed-next-to-his-heart/660127/17) my emotion was avenge my death. Go into that house and drag her out and take her down. When I awoke at the hospital barely alive the next morning I found out that’s exactly what they did. Helped my recovery attitude a lot. 😀

When I went into the hospital with diabetic ketoacidosis I was sure I was slipping into a coma and was going to die. My emotion was to fight to keep awake until the ambulance arrived and not pass out. Basically, try to keep living.
