Dr Bruce Greyson, a psychiatry professor, has spent 50 years studying near-death experiences.
He could see a surgeon ‘strutting about the room with his elbows out, waggling and flapping his arms like a chicken.’

Dr Greyson contacted the surgeon who confirmed that he did flap his elbows in theatre. He used his elbows to point at people and tools, to avoid touching anything.

‘I also started to enjoy tiredness and the many minor pains that afflict a 60-year-old body.’
Unable to cope after she died, he shot himself in the head. But, he didn’t die.
When he regained consciousness, Henry was relieved.
