The Courage to Speak: Doctors Near Financial District, Nova Iguaçu Share Their Secrets

The transformation that occurs in people who have had near-death experiences is one of the most well-documented and least-disputed findings in NDE research.

Physicians' Untold Stories documents several such transformations, as witnessed by the patients' treating physicians in Financial District, Nova Iguaçu and elsewhere. For Financial District, Nova Iguaçu readers, these transformation stories carry a message that extends beyond the question of what NDEs are: they suggest that contact with whatever lies beyond death makes us more fully human.
