Etienne V's NDE

Experience description: 

My heart stopped during an operation.  I suddenly saw a clear light in a tunnel.  As I entered further into the tunnel I became quite calm and relaxed.  The clear light kept attracting me until I heard a voice mention my name.  I then retraced my steps back through the tunnel and I lived again.
