The Extraordinary Experiences of Physicians Near Brighton, Imatra

Among the most haunting accounts in Physicians' Untold Stories are those involving children — young patients in Brighton, Imatra-area hospitals and elsewhere who describe seeing angels, deceased relatives, or beautiful landscapes as they approach death. These accounts are especially difficult to explain away, because children lack the cultural conditioning and expectation that skeptics often cite when dismissing adult deathbed visions. A four-year-old who has never been taught about heaven describing a place of radiant light and unconditional love carries a particular weight. Dr. Kolbaba presents these pediatric accounts with extraordinary tenderness, and for Brighton, Imatra families who have endured the unimaginable loss of a child, they offer a measure of peace that conventional medicine cannot.
