One of Jaguar “Jag” McGill’s favorite sayings is, “I had to die to live.” When Jag arrived at Vibra Hospital of Northern California, he was in the early stages of recovery from a complete cardiopulmonary arrest due to a drug overdose. While CPR had saved his life, the extended lack of oxygen resulted in Lance Adams Syndrome, a condition characterized by myoclonic movements—sudden, involuntary muscle jerks—whenever he attempted to move. These uncontrollable movements made even the simplest tasks extremely challenging and exhausting.
