Dr. Bruce Greyson

I've talked to people many decades after the experience and they say, it's like it happened yesterday. It never goes away. And the after effects don't go away.

Uh, well, the one I mentioned about, uh, uh, Jack who, um, saw his nurse, it really blew me away, but this, uh, one fellow in his mid fifties who was, um, he was a van driver and he was on his rounds and he had this chest pain. And he had the wherewithal to drive to the emergency room and they found he had four blood vessels to his heart that were clogged.

And he had the wherewithal to drive to the emergency room and they found he had four blood vessels to his heart that were clogged.

So they rushed him to the operating room for an emergency triple, a quadruple bypass surgery. And he tells me that in the middle of the operation, he rose up out of his body and looked down and saw them separating his chest to get to his heart. And he saw his surgeon, the main surgeon who he hadn't seen before, flapping his wings like he was trying to fly. And when he said that, I laughed.

I mean, I've been a doctor for 30 years at that point. I've never seen or heard of anyone doing that. That's ludicrous. Why would a doctor do that? So I said to him, you know, Jack, I mean, Al, I think that must have been a hallucination from the anesthesia. He said, it was not. I saw it clearly. You go ask my doctor. So I found a surgeon. I talked to him about it.

And the surgeon said, well, yes, I did do that. I developed this habit. I'd never seen anyone else do it. I let my assistant start the procedure while I wash my hands and then put on the sterile gown and gloves that I go into the operating room. And I watch them for a while to supervise them. I don't want to risk touching anything that's not sterile. So I put my hands on.

on my chest where I knew they wouldn't touch anything. And I point things out to them with my elbows. And he mentioned the emotion just the way Jack did, like he was trying to fly. And I don't know how Al could have known that, but he said, I watched this from above.

Now, a lot of times they tell things that are even more significant. Like one person said, I saw this nurse who I hadn't seen before, and she had mismatched shoelaces on her two shoes. And turn out that was true. Now, why would you pay attention to that?
