Bernice N's NDE

Experience description: 

      As I was in the cat scan, I felt tightness in breathing.  I began to gasp.  I looked to my right thru a window and saw the technicians in a room talking.  It became very painful (the choking) then it did not hurt anymore.  I looked down and saw my body convulsing.  I saw people rush in.  The next thing I saw was a tube being shoved down a persons throat ( I was above the person like on the ceiling or something)  I remember thinking that looks like it really hurts!  I heard the Doctor's talking and I saw the paddles going towards the person.  All of a sudden I realized that the person was me.  I was scared.  The next thing I knew I was back in my body on the table, and felt a choking feeling due to the tube down my throat.
