Sameer NDE

Experience Description

Following the accident, I was carried to the hospital. I had a surgery operation. I stayed in the hospital for one month. I was in full coma, but sometimes I awoke. The problem was that the doctor didn't clean the injury well. Gangrene spread all over my body and reached the diaphragm. I lost consciousness, so my brother took me quickly to other hospital. There were many other specialists looking after me. They operated on me the same night. It took almost ten hours.

In a moment, I saw myself leave my body. I was floating up near the ceiling in the room, when I saw the doctors put electric shocks on my chest. I saw the doctor, who was my brother's friend, crying and hugged my brother out of the operation room. My brother didn't cry, and told his friend that 'my brother would not die.' He began to pray. I saw then all the officials at the local council came to the hospital to console my brother. I saw the father of the doctor brought a picture of Alkhidir - peace be upon him, he brought it from the Bethlehem church. As he was working there, I felt myself returned to my body, I felt the pain started with me, I also saw all my past life since my breast feeding till now.

My story is still told in the East Jerusalem hospital. As the doctors told me, it was one of the strangest things they have seen in their life.
