Russell W's NDE

I entered Lichfield and was riding my motorbike up the road when a car pulled out and hit me at 50 miles per hour. I got flew to Selly Oak hospital where I had an emergency operation (I was told all this by the police, helicopter pilot and the medical staff). All I remember next is waking then going to sleep. the next thing I remember is propping my self up against the wall in a long dark tunnel (the walls of this tunnel was like the sides of a cave damp and cold), the next thing I remember is looking at the floor and it was like stone paving (big stones like the old roman roads), I then saw this bright light at the bottom of the tunnel so I started to walk towards it I remember being in more pain that I have ever been in before, I was falling over and banging it to the side of the tunnel. I then was about 10 yards away from the bright light (which was warm and felt nice), around this bright light was a arch way. I then walked into the light and felt no pain at all I felt like it was ok to be there, so peaceful so right, I then heard a voice (I know this voice but to this day I can't work out whose voice it is) and the next thing I remember is looking down on myself with my mom and dad holding my left hand (my mom crying it really upset me). I started to move around the icu ward and I can remember that there was 10 beds all with very ill people in and a nurses station in the centre, in front of me. The next thing I remember is floating up towards the roof and that’s the last thing that I remember. When I started to explain to people what I saw, the doctors started saying that what you saw was a reaction from the drugs. I later found out that I was clinically dead for two minutes and when I was in the icu I had a pipe down my throat to help me breath. to this day I know what happened to me and no one can tell me different. Were very lucky to have a second chance but sometimes I feel like I wish I could be in that light forever.
