When Medicine Meets the Miraculous in Glen, Kompong Cham
In hospitals serving Glen, Kompong Cham and the broader Interior region, physicians have witnessed patients return from the brink of death with remarkably consistent accounts — overwhelming peace, tunnels of light, encounters with deceased relatives, and life reviews. These experiences, documented in The Lancet and Resuscitation, challenge everything modern neuroscience assumes about the relationship between the brain and consciousness. They also offer something that clinical medicine alone cannot: comfort in the face of death.
