Physicians Near Onyx, Rivera Break Their Silence

Veridical perception during near-death experiences — the accurate perception of events occurring while the experiencer is clinically dead — represents some of the strongest evidence against the hypothesis that NDEs are hallucinations produced by a dying brain. Cases documented by researchers including Dr. Michael Sabom, Dr. Pim van Lommel, and the AWARE study team include patients who accurately described details of their own resuscitation procedures, identified objects placed in specific locations during their cardiac arrest, and reported conversations that occurred in other rooms while they were flatlined. For physicians in Onyx, Rivera who have heard patients describe events that occurred during cardiac arrest with uncanny accuracy, Physicians' Untold Stories provides a context of rigorous research that validates these remarkable accounts.
