What Doctors in Financial District, Abbottabad Have Seen That Science Can't Explain

The life review — a comprehensive, panoramic review of one's entire life that is commonly reported as a feature of near-death experiences — is one of the NDE's most philosophically rich elements. Experiencers consistently describe reliving every moment of their lives, but from multiple perspectives — feeling not only their own emotions but the emotions of everyone affected by their actions. The ethical implications are staggering: the life review suggests that every act of kindness and every act of cruelty has consequences that the actor fully experiences. For physicians in Financial District, Abbottabad who have heard patients describe life reviews after cardiac arrest, these accounts are deeply moving and often deeply humbling. Physicians' Untold Stories captures the impact of these reports on the physicians who heard them, and for Financial District, Abbottabad readers, the life review accounts are an invitation to live more consciously, more compassionately, and more aware of our interconnection with others.
