Was snowboarding, on the bunny slopes, adjusting boots in a sitting position, started to stand, in a crouching position and fell face forward.
Strapped to sled, drawn 70 yards by skier via gurney, ran IV once in shack.
Blood pressure was taken, the only stats to report were 135/85, normally at 118/70.
Eyes were open yet no cognition existed, he was unconscious for 5 minutes, give or take.
The feelings were described as follows: "Body from neck down was asleep, brain clicked on and I asked 'How did I get here', I could move but I felt asleep. I was very comfortable. I felt trance like. "
Breathing was normal the entire time.
He recalls the IV being inserted, remembers intense pain which lasted easily one week.
Vomited between 5-6 times while in health shack, once later in ride towards hospital.
Was tired yet semi-conversational. Wanted to continue activity; total mental awareness.
Blood test confirmed high blood sugar. EKG, CT and urinalysis were also ran, urinalysis only yielded results which further confirmed high blood sugar. Everything checked out clear.
Was released from hospital same day. Was exhausted from the whole experience.
Has since complained of similar symptoms, even recalls experiences when similar symptoms had occurred. These remarks could be psychosomatic, however, being that the patient comes from a family with a history of hypochondria.
When he was one year old, on his birthday he was declared legally dead for nearly 5 seconds and revived. Paramedic and doctors claimed it was severe dehydration, further causation is unknown due to poor notes and not enough questions being asked.

Since the writer seems to have difficulty distinguishing if this occurrence happened to self, or someone else (I, he), my conclusion would be that they are both nuts. This is my final diagnosis.

Did he hit his head? if so, it could be a minor concussive brain injury. This could explain the numbness and lack of awareness. Whiplash is a good possibility too. Seeing as there is a psychiatric family history of hypochondria, a conversion disorder should be considered, especially since diagnostic testing cleared him and he was released the same day.
