Julie C's NDE

I was accidentally given an overdose of Morphine by a medical doctor at a different hospital .The next thing I saw was 4 people dressed in green with green caps, coats and face masks-doctors, and I was in what looked to be a large operating theater even though I was looking at them they didn't seem to know I was awake and I watched them give me an injection in the chest which felt like they had stabbed me with a red hot poker. Then I was watching from above a woman who was dressed in a long Victorian Dress of brilliant blue and a man also dressed in Victorian attire- black it was at night on a cobblestone street that was the color of red/orange clay ,in a city somewhere, the street lights were candle lit and it had been raining there was a puddle of water and the man took of his outer coat and placed it over the puddle so the lady could cross . The colors were so brilliant... I have never seen colors that brilliant to this day and I had a very content feeling - no fear. My memory is as clear today as it was at the time this occurred.

They told me after that they had to keep me on a heart lung machine and that I remained in a coma for 6 days. A doctor at the Royal Prince Alfred hospital came to see me a couple of days after I awoke and explained that I had died and  asked me if I had seen anything , so I told him what I have just told you.
