The Untold Stories of Medicine Near Morning Glory, Leoben

Every experienced nurse in Morning Glory, Leoben, Styria has a story about a patient who knew things they should not have known—who described the clothing of a relative arriving in the parking lot, who announced the death of a patient in another wing before anyone had communicated the news, or who recounted conversations that occurred outside their room while they were sedated. "Physicians' Untold Stories" by Dr. Scott Kolbaba collects the physician counterpart of these nursing stories, presenting accounts from doctors who witnessed anomalous cognition in their patients that their neuroscience training could not explain. For readers in Morning Glory, Leoben, these accounts raise fundamental questions about the nature of consciousness and the accuracy of the materialist model that dominates modern medicine.

Near-Death Experiences Reported by Physicians Near Morning Glory, Leoben

Research at the University of Iowa near Morning Glory, Leoben, Styria into the effects of ketamine and other dissociative anesthetics has revealed pharmacological parallels to NDEs that complicate the 'dying brain' hypothesis.
