PRACTICE TALES<br />

“Then I felt a presence, a warm, inviting presence, and turned around, away from<br />

watching my body and its attendants, and I saw a bright light. It was a wel<strong>com</strong>ing,<br />

pleasant light, and I wanted to go to it. I felt my future lay that way, and started<br />

drifting up, away from all my cares and towards it.<br />

“I felt I had almost reached this delightful place, when with a sudden jerk, I was<br />

forced away, rushed back to earth, and found myself in agonising pain, in a place of<br />

noise, <strong>com</strong>motion and fear. I was conscious again, and aware of being back in my<br />

body in the emergency department cubicle.<br />

“A doctor said something about a rhythm, and they stopped pumping my chest. I<br />

coughed and choked, then I was being wheeled out of there and into intensive care.<br />

“I have no fear of death doc, I’ve almost been there, and it doesn’t look to bad to<br />

me. Now if you can keep your word, and make sure I don’t suffer while I’m down here,<br />

I’m pretty sure I’m not going to suffer up there, and whatever is waiting for me, I’m<br />

sure won’t be too bad.”<br />

.......................................<br />

What could I say? I kept my word, he didn’t suffer, and within an all too short few<br />

weeks he had gone back to visit, on a permanent basis, that place he had almost<br />

reached before.<br />

Several times over the years, I (and I am sure, many other doctors) have heard<br />

vaguely similar stories from patients, but never one in such detail as this.<br />

No one will ever know till they go there, but it seems that there may well be<br />

something after life.<br />
