Today, I almost died. My friends dragged me unconcious, hypothermic and half-drowned out of the sea. A helicopter took me to the hospital where they brought me back to life. My family's reaction? "You aren't dying so we don't have to come to the hospital." They wouldn't even bring me clothes. FML

OP here. I guess this needs a follow-up. I was in a sailing boat with some friends and although there were big waves, the wind wasn't too strong so we thought it would be safe sailing. We were wrong about that. An exceptionally big wave came up from behind. The boat started surfing uncontrollably down from it and eventually flipped. I was caught by a rope and dragged under water. Fortunately I had a safety knife strapped to my leg so I could cut myself free but it took some time and I lost consciousness before I could make it up. My friends dragged up on the upturned hull of our boat because they were unable to flip it back. The tide was rising so the current pushed us close to the shore. In the surf we were trown off again and because of the waves it was too dangerous to approach the boat again so my friends swam to the shore, dragging me behind them. I regained consciousness for a while but passed out again as soon as we made it to the beach. Hope this answers all your questions.

Just be happy that you didn't actually die. My guess is that your family didn't take this as serious as they should have.

It might be their way to deal with it. A shitty way,of course,but they may be so scared at the thought of losing you they feel the need to downplay their feelings and what actually happened to you. I hope you feel better soon,I'm glad you got to see another day!

Your family is shit, but at least you've got awesome friends.

You can pick your friends, but you can't pick your family.

I'm so sorry. Emergencies really tell you a lot about people around you.

I'd drop them so fast they'd have to look up to see down... Contrary to popular belief, you can choose your family (not that it should be done lightly). I would understand if they lived abroad or even on the other side of the country, but if they're close enough to be able to bring you clothes then there's no reason why at least one of them can't check on you...
