. It is a book about a near death experience. What makes this book different is that it is written by a neurosurgeon and is based is on his own experience.Some of you know my mom went through a very difficult procedure in the hospital last year. It ended up she needed emergency brain surgery (craniotomy) and watching her come out of it and wondering if she would be the same, was a horrible ordeal. Being on a neuro ICU unit for 4 weeks, I was so curious as to what she was going through. She would talk once in her sleep, she wasn't in a coma, she was heavily sedated. Did she have a near death experience? No. But I was so curious and this book sounded right up my alley. She did have "ICU Psychosis" which is theme described in the book and really helped me understand what she was going through at that point. Her dreams were so real to her, she really believed these tings were happening.
Being a neurosurgeon and understanding the brain is one thing. To be a scientist that always brushed off these stories of near death experiences, and having your own, is all together different. This book is a very quick read. It doesn't drag, it takes you on a ride and is so interesting. Here is scientist that questioned his faith and is now having a NDE that was so real.
For anyone interested and especially for people that wonder about these things, this is a book for you. What a great book club read it would be. There are so many discussions here to be had. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
