Have you or someone you know experienced a Near Death Experience?

12. When I worked as a nursing assistant I had a patient who coded.

He had advanced lung disease, and he actually turned blue. His wife came running out of the room screaming. I went in and saw him and I called out for a doctor. Then a code blue was called.

Since I had no role in the code I escorted his wife out and stayed with her while he was resuscitated.

Two weeks later he was back on our unit. He said hello to me and told me that I looked less afraid than the last time he saw me.

Well the last time he "saw" me he had no pulse or respirations and was essentially dead. He said he remembered everything, including me checking his vitals and calling for help. He said he had the out of body experience and that he had been there more than once.

He told me that he had seen the 'other side' and no longer feared death.

It was a profound experience for me.
