The Intern's First Code
I was four days into my internal medicine residency when I was called to my first code. I did everything by the book. She came back. And the first thing she did was thank me — not for saving her life, but for something I did that I didn't remember doing.

The Light in Room 7

Step 4 · Editorial composite · Near Death Experiences
The Veridical NDE
The patient was clinically dead for seven minutes. When he woke up, he described the shoes the attending surgeon was wearing — shoes the surgeon hadn't been wearing when the patient last saw him, but had changed into mid-procedure.

Why cardiac arrest and irreversible death are not synonyms
A stopped heart, active resuscitation, restored circulation, and irreversible biological death describe different clinical states. Accounts that collapse them into a single phrase can sound more conclusive than the underlying record supports.
When reading near-death research, look for the monitored interval, the quality of physiological data, the timing of the interview, and whether a reported perception was independently tested. Precise language is more illuminating than dramatic language.
