The monitor confirmed cardiac arrest as an elderly man suddenly lost consciousness. After about 20 seconds of resuscitation, he came to. Explaining to him that his heart had momentarily stopped, I asked if he remembered anything unusual during that time.
"I saw a bright light," he said, "and in front of me a man dressed in white."
Zeroing in on this near-death impression, I inquired if he could describe the figure.
"Sure, doctor," he replied. "It was you." |
