What Doctors in Greenwich, Gobi Desert Have Seen That Science Can't Explain
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. Studies by Dr. Bruce Greyson, Dr. Kenneth Ring, and Dr. Jeffrey Long have consistently shown that NDE experiencers become more compassionate, less materialistic, more spiritually oriented, and less fearful of death after their experiences. These transformations are often dramatic and permanent, persisting for decades after the NDE. Physicians' Untold Stories documents several such transformations, as witnessed by the patients' treating physicians in Greenwich, Gobi Desert and elsewhere. For Greenwich, Gobi Desert 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.
