Well, he's in surgery this morning for the installation of a defibulator and a new pacemaker. So far, so good.

I guess I can respond to this. Was it a near death experience? No, it was a death experience...
I will be a bit vague on details to an extant because anyone that knows me or knows what happened can id me from it. Anyway...
There was a period in my life where I was working 96 hours a week, firefighter/emt, and the summer months are hell for wildland fires...
So I came off one of those long shifts, 4 days straight with 4 hours of sleep working a huge fire. Went home to get some sleep, couldn't sleep, adrenaline was still pumping. So I figure I need to hit the gym and burn it off. Hit the gym, start in on my routine, then I start to get cold sweats, my body is shutting down from exhaustion. I go to leave, first I stop by to pay my membership fee, as I'm writing the check the world goes dark, like the closing scene of a movie fading to black. That's all I remember.
What had happened, this is firsthand from the person that did CPR on me, was I fell backwards and when my head hit the ground he said it sounded like a .30-06 rifle going off. When he ran over to me, he said I had no pulse and wasn't breathing. He immediately started CPR. It took him a minute to get my heart going and I started breathing on my own. I was not aware of this at all. I woke in the back of an ambulance speeding to the hospital, I remember asking what happened, the paramedic said I died. I passed out and was in a coma for a week.
Long story short: I was dead for a minute or so, no pulse not breathing. I saw nothing, no one calling me back, no image of Jesus no light, nothing. All I remember was a fade to black and that was it until I awoke in the ambulance for a brief moment before blacking out again for a week.
I made a full recovery, just to end with. No brain damage, extensive MRI's and CAT Scans, had to relearn to walk. The docs said that most people heavily favor one side of their brain, after my accident my brain is using both hemispheres almost equally. It's quite interesting really.
That's my near-death experience. Sorry, not epic.

Reasearch on this subject is being done with some interesting results.
This guy is using a modified helmet (God Helmet) to induce out of body experience.
He claim that certain magnetic fields will cause people to have a spiritual experience.
Funny thing is tha he mentions Charles Taze Russell creating the JW's when there was a meteor shower.
