Repeatedly Dead Fred with Fred Rutman

from Without Regret the Podcast · host Tamara Albrecht

Today, we have a tale that will leave you on the edge of your seat. My guest, Fresh from crafting his first book "The Summer I Died Twenty Times," is here to share his personal journey that defies the odds. Did you know that 450,000 Americans and Canadians succumb to medical errors each year? In this episode my guest will unveil his own narrative of narrowly escaping becoming a statistic in that staggering figure. Brace yourself for a rollercoaster of emotions as he recounts 11 heart procedures in 11 years, numerous encounters with clinical death, concussions, PTSD, post-concussion syndrome, brain trauma, defective pacemakers, and surgeries gone awry. But it doesn't stop there. Add multiple instances of cognitive medical bias and misdiagnoses to the mix – they certainly tried to put him on the permanently dead list. In a nutshell, his upcoming book, "The Summer I Died Twenty Times," is a personal medical drama spanning from 2009 to 2018. The sequel, a work in progress, delves into the period from 2019 to the present. It's a gripping account of Fred's journey through deaths, brain trauma, recovery attempts, persistent medical errors, botched surgeries, cognitive biases, defective pacemakers, and the unwavering spirit of resilience. Join us as we navigate the tumultuous waters, questioning faith, and discovering the potent medicinal tool of Intermittent Fasting. It's not just about resilience; it's about refusing to let the adversities define Fred's life. This is "Without Regret," where we unravel stories that inspire you to face challenges head-on, and emerge stronger than ever. Resources: https://www.instagram.com/p/CWWoCIRF794
