Kobe Possible NDE

Experience Description

I was being taken into the operating room for a simple routine, outpatient procedure. I was not afraid at all. I lost memory of events on the way to the operating room due to the medications that had been administered 1 to 2 minutes earlier.

When I arrived in the operating room, I was asked to scoot myself from the gurney to the operating table. I have a very vague memory of this as it was quite difficult as I struggled and it took so much effort in trying to do this.

Suddenly, I seemed to pop out of my body and float about 10 feet above myself, slightly to the left and back corner of the room. The room seemed very dark except a bright light shining on my body from medical lighting equipment on the ceiling.

At the moment that I left my body, the effort and struggle I felt in scooting myself from the gurney to the operating table was gone. I watched myself scoot over to the table. Once settled on the table, the whole scene went dark and I woke up in recovery. I don't remember going back into my body. It was more like just going to sleep.
