Experience Description

I was quite drunk and riding with my friend to a party. There was a train parked on the road and we drove right under it. He died and I am told that they had to resuscitate me. The whole top of my head was sheared off and I had severe throat lacerations. I came to in the emergency room and I was joyously telling dirty jokes! True story! People were laughing and all kinds of nurses and staff knew my name and talked to me. This very handsome nurse named Mike, who held my hand and was so sweet. Slowly the realization came upon me of where I was and what had happened. They told me that my buddy, Bob, had been taken to another hospital as this one was too full. The most wonderful doctor ever came and stitched me up. Dr. Steve had to give me so many Novocain shots; and it was no big deal! I had 5 or 6 in both my forehead and throat and it was all right! I knew how blessed I was!

The only thing I remember about the NDE was that I felt like I was a part of the northern lights! I was (am) pure positive source energy and I felt the pure power of that!
