Linkous overdosed on something like whiskey, heroin and pills. He passed out in a position which cut off the blood supply to his legs. When he was finally found by paramedics they revived him and straightened out his legs which caused him to have a heart attack. He was treated in St. Mary's hospital and this song was written in sort of 'thanks' to the nurses and doctors who treated him.
