My near death experience part II

The firefighters did their  job by asking questions( "how many fingers do you see?" "What is your name?" Where are we?"What is today's date?") I probably failed the exam because they went on  checking my vitality ( flashlight in the eyes, blood pressure, "squezze my hand"..."from my right hand to the other one that i had to redo a couple of time as then were telling me "again" and then "harder".. and Stuff.I could sense thsat they Knew what I had but  had to floow procedures.......I was told months after that night that my brother in law could not cope with this so ran downstairs to hide his tears thinking I was dead....
Funny part of this all is that my appartment was located right  accross from the Melun hospital: 3mn drive.The downside of it was that  the hospital was functionning on a Holliday  schedule and only had one doctor at the ER.....long wait , Scanner,another long wait before she told my  entourage : family and the firefighters that she was sending me to a better hospitalIn Paris specialized for what i had :  cerebral haemorrhage.The how's and why's ? A doctor should take care of my case in deep and since she was the only ER doctor she couldn't devote  her time to taking care of just me...She suspected  an Aneurysmsm .
