The Extraordinary Experiences of Physicians Near Town Center, Puli
Dr. Peter Fenwick, the renowned British neuropsychiatrist, once observed that deathbed phenomena are far more common than the medical establishment acknowledges — and that the witnesses are often the physicians and nurses themselves. His research, along with the Brayne, Lovelace, and Fenwick hospice survey, forms part of the scientific backdrop to Dr. Scott Kolbaba's Physicians' Untold Stories. But the foreground belongs to the doctors: men and women in Town Center, Puli and across America who have seen patients reach toward invisible visitors, who have watched terminal patients achieve sudden, inexplicable clarity in their final hours, and who have carried these memories in silence until now. This book gives their experiences the respect — and the audience — they have long deserved.
