Dr. Ruwan M Jayatunge...Patients’ Experiences of NDE<br />Dr. Ruwan M Jayatunge M.D.<br /> “Either death is a state of nothingness and utter consciousness, or, as men say, there is a change and migration of the soul from this world to another. Now if death be of such a nature, I say that to die is to gain; for eternity is then only a single night.” -Plato<br /><br /><br />During my medical career I have treated a number of terminally ill patients who were on the verge of death. Some of these patients described their bizarre experiences when they faced clinical death. Yet I don’t know these experiences were resulted by hypoxia of the brain or due to any other psycho-physiological reaction.<br /><br />Death is the cessation of all biological functions that sustain a living organism. According to the medical practitioners, death has two stages: clinical death and biological death. In clinical death a person’s heart beating stops with the blood circulation. Clinical death is reversible and these vital functions can be restored with timely appropriate interventions. Biological death can occur if clinical death prolongs to four to six minutes. Then the brain cells die from lack of oxygen. In this condition irreversible biological death occurs.<br /><br />Near death experiences were common with those who have encountered clinical deaths. These experiences are unique and every religion has different interpretation for the NDE. It is a subjective experience and many NDEs depend on the education level, cultural factors and religious beliefs. Therefore it cannot be defined as a universal experience. But there are a number of common elements associated with NDE such as out of body experience, travelling through a tunnel, floating, and levitation, seeing a light etc. This is a phenomenon that has to be scientifically investigated by the researchers.
