Then I just sort of popped out of the top of my head. I heard a mechanical noise, and it reminded me of a dentist’s drill. The second surprise was even more stunning: her state of confirmed clinical death, controlled and remaining incontrovertible, in no way prevented her from observing everything that took place around her during the operation! Even with her brain completely taken offline, she was able to see, to hear, and to understand the smallest details of her surgery-a simply impossible feat if we believe that consciousness is fabricated by the brain. The first surprise was that Pamela suffered virtually no aftereffect from this artificially induced cerebral death. Once the aneurism was removed, there was nothing more to do but wait for Pamela to awaken to determine her neurological state. The intervention took place without any major problems. As you might expect, the EEG quickly flatlined and stayed that way for almost an hour. Once the blood flow had been cut off, the patient’s surgical table was tilted steeply to ensure that her brain would no longer contain a single drop of blood. Having anesthetized Pamela with a strong dose of barbiturates, the team diverted her blood flow outside her body while progressively lowering her temperature to the record level of 15.5☌ (60☏). The procedure must take place in a state of hypothermia to prevent formation of irreversible brain lesions that ordinarily would form within five minutes of stopping cerebral blood flow.

The procedure involves the diversion of all blood flow from the area of the operation-the brain in Pamela’s case-to a circulation outside the patient’s body. Hypothermic circulatory arrest is a technique used in extremely serious cases and only rarely, because many patients are unable to withstand such a disruption of blood flow and die before the intervention can be completed. It is worth going into detail about the preparations for Pamela’s operation to illustrate the extent to which her brain was inactive at the moment when the vascular malformation was being removed. Her vascular tumor was like a veritable time bomb that, as it enlarged, could explode at any moment. The risks were enormous, and yet, if he had not proceeded with this intervention, the woman was likely to suffer an early death. Robert Spetzier hesitated a long time before undertaking this operation. Pamela Reynold’s clinical death was medically induced by a surgical team whose goal was to remove a large aneurism lodged in her brain stem.ĭr. By releasing our fear of death, we can properly prepare for “the final journey.” As those who have returned from death reveal, death is simply a transition and its lessons enable us to live more fully, peacefully, and happily in the now. Charbonier explains that we should not fear death for ourselves or our loved ones. He refutes the standard objections of doubters and materialists point by point, citing scientific research on NDEs and the work of pioneers in the field of consciousness studies such as Raymond Moody and Pim van Lommel.ĭrawing on meticulously recorded and hospital-verified cases, Dr. Charbonier distills his findings into 7 reasons to believe in the afterlife, beginning with the more than 60 million people worldwide who have reported a transcendent afterlife experience. With each experience he studied, he found himself more firmly believing in the survival of consciousness beyond death.ĭr. Igniting a scientific quest to learn more, he collected more accounts of near-death experiences as well as out-of-body experiences, attended dozens of sessions with mediums, experimented successfully with electronic communication with the deceased (EVP), interviewed hundreds of people who have cared for the dying, and gathered countless inexplicable stories of “signs” from the afterlife.

He surveyed other physicians, nurses, and professional caregivers and discovered that their patients described the same experiences as well as exhibited the same positive life transformations afterward. Charbonier found striking similarities as well as indisputable proof that these experiences were more than hallucinations. Across all of these accounts-from patients with vastly different backgrounds-Dr. Over the course of his 25-year career as an anesthesiologist and intensive care physician, Jean Jacques Charbonier, M.D., gathered hundreds of accounts of patients who returned from clinical death.
