​"YOU'LL SEE DR. MORSE: HEAVEN IS FUN"  -  KRISTLE AFTER HER NDE
Seven year old Kristle Merzlock was accidentally pushed into a swimming pool. She was under water for 20 minutes. I had never heard of near death experiences before our team of doctors from Seattle Children's Hospital resuscitated her.
After her recovery I asked her what she remembered about being in the pool. She said: "Do you mean when I was with the 
Heavenly Father?" 
I WASN'T DEAD! I WASN'T DEAD AT ALL! SOME PART OF ME WAS STILL ALIVE

HER NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE INSPIRED ME TO DO THE FIRST PROSPECTIVE STUDY OF NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCES: WE STUDIED EVERY SURVIVOR OF CARDIAC ARREST AT SEATTLE CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL FOR 15 YEARS
THE HEADS OF THE INTENSIVE CARE UNIT, NEUROLOGY AND PSYCHIATRY DESIGNED THE STUDY. IT WAS PUBLISHED IN THE AMA'S PEDIATRIC JOURNAL
Video of the Month: A child describes her near death experience.  She was in a profound coma, but suddenly regained consciousness right before she became clinically dead. She says she is not afraid to die as she knows a bit more about it.
Our study showed NDEs are real and not caused by medications, lack of oxygen to the body or hallucinations. For AMA articles click here and here

Here are children from our study telling Sally Jesse Raphael about their experiences.
A very important piece of evidence that near death experiences are real is an extraordinary study done by the United States Navy. Naval pilots were experimented on to understand the maximum G forces that they can tolerate. In the process, they had near death experiences. One such pilot was Jeff Smitth PhD. After his NDE, he promptly left the military and got his PhD in psychology. He and I together developed a highly successful therapy for PTSD called TRACT, based on the wisdom he gained from his NDE.

Children often draw their experiences better than they can describe them.
This gentleman learned from his near-death experience that “death is just a body problem”.
Our discussion of death experiences has often focused on whether or not they are proof of life after death. However, the true meaning of the near-death experience is what it teaches us about living. Here is a physician describing the most moving NDE of which I am aware. He tells us that this life is to "learn to love like that (the love of his near death experience). Even more important, to learn to accept the love others have for us.
Michelle describes her near death experience where 14 foot tall doctors dressed in white approached her and told her to press a button on a box to choose if she would come with them or return to her family.
