"The doctors involved don't tell the same story that the Author (Sabon) did.\n \n\n\n\thttps://www.newscientist.com/letter/mg19125700-200-near-death-evidence/\n \n\n\n\tI would like to comment on Eric Kvaalen’s letter, in which he cites an article from The Lancet (2 September, p 18). He implies the article validated a near-death experience (NDE) in which a patient claimed that, while flatlining on an EEG, she was aware of her surroundings. He says: “This included an out-of-body experience, during which she observed things that happened during the period of the flat EEG and that were subsequently verified.” Perhaps Kvaalen could supply details of this verification. It does not appear to come from the article in The Lancet but from a book called Light and Death: One doctor’s fascinating account of near-death experiences by M. B. Sabom, specifically chapter 3, “Death: the final frontier” featuring “The case of Pam Reynolds”.\n \n\n\n\t \n \n\n\n\tThe Reynolds case has received very thorough scrutiny in the British magazine The Skeptic (vol 18, nos 1 and 2). The two-part in-depth article, called “An anaesthesiologist examines the Pam Reynolds story”, by Gerry Woerlee, finds no convincing evidence for an NDE, let alone verification of Reynolds’s observations whilst “dead”. Woerlee tells us “…it was an experience whose roots lay in the functioning of her body, complemented by imagery nestling in the deepest reaches of her psyche, as well as the fact that she was awake for several periods of time during her operation.”\n \n\n\n\t \n \n\n\n\t \n \n\n\n\tYou know how it goes from here.\n \n\n\n\t\n \n"
