Doctor says near-death experiences are in the mind

This story is about a woman who had a near-death experience. Laura Geraghty suffered a heart attack while at work where she drives a school bus. Geraghty was dead for 57 minutes before she was brought back. Dr. Kevin Nelson, a neurologist in Louisville, Kentucky, thinks that it is just a dream. It is the bodies way of reacting to danger. Dr. Bill O'Callahan seems to think just the opposite, his words say that Dr. Nelson thoughts are just hogwash.

I think that Dr. Nelson is crazy. I think the doc is having a problem with proving what these people are saying so he is looking for his own truth. Some people don't believe in heaven and hell and that is fine, but let the people who do believe, believe. One doctor asked the question, Why is it that every person sees the same thing? So this makes him believe that it is a dream. WOW, that would make me believe that it was not a dream. That it is what really happens when we die. Besides that how can a man like Dr. Nelson stand there and say what these people are or are not feeling or seeing. This is something only a person who has went through this can really explain.

Sorry this guy just really pissed me off. I have a great aunt who was never really in to church or god. She believe in god but it was never really part of her life. A few years ago she was hit by a car who ran a stop sign. They took her to hospital where she died and then brought back. She explained her story to my mom. She said that she does not remember the accident. She remembers being in the car and the next thing she remembers is standing in the emergency room looking at herself laying on the hospital bed while the doctors tried to bring her back. She then told my mom that she was not alone, beside stood Jesus. Jesus turned to her and said it is not your time. The next thing she remembers is waking up in her hospital room.

People are going to believe what they want to believe. The thing is that there are just some things out there that we just can't explain.

  1. I couldn't agree with you more. I have always been very interested in things like this, and the more reading I have done, the more proof it seems there is to prove the afterlife. The story about your aunt is amazing! I loved reading that! Have you ever readthe book 90 Minutes in Heaven? It is such a good book about this very thing. It can't be that soo many people with near death experiences are having this same thing happen, and there is nothing to it. But you are right, we all have to choose for ourselves. I just say to those that don't believe in heaven and hell, what do you have to lose if you believe? I don't have anything to lose if I was wrong.
