Physician Testimonies of the Extraordinary Near Royal, Cluj-Napoca

Dr. Sam Parnia's research at NYU Langone Health and previously at Stony Brook University has pushed the boundaries of resuscitation science while simultaneously gathering data on consciousness during cardiac arrest. Parnia's AWARE II study, the largest of its kind, placed visual targets in hospital rooms that could only be seen from a vantage point above the bed — testing whether out-of-body perceptions during cardiac arrest are veridical. While the study's results have been preliminary due to the low survival rate of cardiac arrest patients, the methodology represents a rigorous scientific approach to testing the central claim of NDEs: that consciousness can separate from the body. For physicians in Royal, Cluj-Napoca who have encountered patients with out-of-body perceptions during cardiac arrest, Parnia's work demonstrates that mainstream science is taking these experiences seriously. Physicians' Untold Stories complements this research by providing the human dimension — the stories of individual patients and the physicians who cared for them.
