Leave an Amazon Rating or Review for my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy! Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1892DM Amy Purdy was 19 years old when she walked into a Las Vegas hospital feeling sick. Within 24 hours, every organ except her heart and brain was failing. Doctors told her parents she had less than a 2% chance of living. She was put into an induced coma for two and a half weeks while her body fought septic shock. Her last memory before going under was watching her dad sign the life support paperwork while everyone around her was crying and she was gasping for air. When she finally woke up, she was still hooked to a room full of machines with tubes down her throat. Her feet had turned black. She'd lost both legs below the knees and nearly lost her hands. And somehow, even in the worst moments, part of her brain was thinking, "Aren't we all taking this a little too seriously?" That spirit is what carried her through everything that came next.

  • Hi, my name is Lewis Howes and welcome to the Daily Motivation Show.

  • I honestly just entered the hospital feeling really sick and had no idea that I'd be I mean I was on my deathbed like within 24 hours I was absolutely fighting for my life and put into an induced coma

  • because they didn't know what I had at this point so I entered the hospital they had no idea what I had except that I was in septic shock all my organs were failing and hemorrhaging everything but my heart and my brain so all my other organs were hemorrhaging and not working and so they put me on life support right away I told my parents I had less than a 2% chance of living.

  • This is in 24 hours, right?

  • Within those next day.

  • Yes, within the next day.

  • And then I was immediately put into an induced coma

  • because my body was completely shutting down and that's how they try to kind of stabilize you a little bit.

  • It calms you down a little bit.

  • Yeah, so you're not fighting so hard.

  • Interesting.

  • Yep.

  • And what does that mean?

  • They just give you a drug or what do they do?

  • How do you go in and they do?

  • They give you some kind of, I forget what it's called,

  • but they do, they give you some kind of thing in your IV.

  • And I remember my, it was a really big deal.

  • You just go to sleep.

  • Yeah.
