"Dr. Wilson asked my permission to put a line into my jugular ... I didn't understand why. I said, 'You mean, in case there's an emergency?' and he said "No, this ... THIS is the emergency." —Best-selling author Sebastian Junger, on the spontaneous rupture of his pancreatico-duodenal artery aneurysm

In this episode, host Warren Krackov, MD, FSIR, speaks with Sebastian Junger, author of In My Time of Dying, The Perfect Storm and more, about his near-death experience; with Philip J. Dombrowski, MD, the attending interventional radiologist who saved his life; and with Michael J. Hallisey, MD, FSIR, the IR who first shared the story on SIR Connect.
