When you die you KNOW you're dead: Scientists discover the mind still works after the body shows no sign of life and reveal people have heard their own death announced by medics

• A person's consciousness continues to work after the body has died, study finds
• Someone has died may even hear their own death being announced by medics
• Researchers say people's recollections have been verified by medical staff
• Time of death is called when heart stops beating, cutting off blood to brain
• Cerebral cortex flatlines and within 2-20 seconds no brainwaves are detected
• This sparks the death of brain cells but this can take hours after 
• Findings echo plot line of new Hollywood re-make of cult horror Flatliners

Like being bit by a certain spider in Australia. All of your senses are working except you’re paralyzed.

It’s great for getting rid of stupid characters shoe-horned into TV shows.

A friend of mine was in a snow mobile accident, last year. He fractured his spine and skull. The doctors gave him a less than even chance of living, in fact they said they had never saw anyone with the injuries that he had to live.

He was in the ICU for 12 days and during that time his father came to him and told him to get off of his butt and help his family, he can't remember the whole conversation, he wishes he could, I knew his father and that was something he would say.

It was one of the most interesting things I have ever heard. He started to heal after this incident and is still recovering and is a changed person I have known him for 30 years and can see the change.

I was told “we’ll give you a whiff of oxygen and then you’ll go under” - I remember my nose tingling a bit - the oxygen I guess - and then lights out - then I was awake in recovery - no confusion, no headache, no lag - I asked the nurse when I’d feel it if I were going to become nauseated - she said if I hadn’t felt that way already, I wasn’t going to - pretty fantastic stuff.....

I had quadruple bypass last year. A couple of days after surgery my heart went into some afíb episodes which happens after bypass. One episode lasted many hours and they put me on a drip to slow my heartbeat down. Funny thing, they let my heartbeat go to 0 instead of stopping the drug when they should have. I recall my vision just faded away to white and I guess I died for a few seconds. They stopped the drug and my heart greatfully restarted on its own.

I flatlined after my open heart surgery, they couldn’t get me started again. My presence here is attributable to ‘Oh screw it. Let’s try once more’. I didn’t perceive anything at all. I had a rough wake up though, drowning with a pulmonary edema. THAT I remember, and I have a very good memory.

Maybe it’s different for others, I don’t know.

Whew.

[sparklite2]

Yep, that’s the stuff. I think it has a memory blocker in it that keeps memories from being formed so when you wake up, it’s like your were never out.

My favorite is Life After Life, by Kubler-Ross.

That one is a classic now,

This one created quite a stir also--best seller like Kubler-Ross.

I have read that during the French Revolution, those beheaded would blink, their mouths would try to say something but with no voice box no voice would be heard. But it was just momentarily.

...I didn't know until the recovery room that it was done....

Precisely my experience when undergoing a CABG (coronary artery bypass graft) 9 years ago. It was a dreamless sleep with no awareness until a nurse removed a breathing tube in the IC unit hours later.

When you die you KNOW you're dead

No, you just keep getting hit in the head with a pillow and faintly hear someone saying over and over quit snoring.

Don’t tell me I can feel it when they do the autopsy.

I worked as a funeral director for 8 years. Early on in my career one evening we had an autopsy case come in and the owner happened to be in the building, so he decided to do the embalming with me. At one point during the procedure he tells me to look at the eyes. I shrugged my shoulders and just said OK...? He goes on to tell me that the more cases you see, the more you start to see a difference between the eyes of an autopsied case and a run-of-he mill case. “They know...just look at him...he knows.” I never noticed it before, but for the next six years I couldn’t help but to be drawn to look. FWIW, I never really noticed any difference, but the thought was always in my head.

I had a colonoscopy on the first of September and it was like an instantaneous transition from hearing, “We’re going to put something in the IV now that will make you very sleepy” to hearing someone telling me the results of the procedure with no awareness of anything in between. Twenty years or more ago I had a friend who was considered officially dead for six minutes before being shocked back into life. I asked him if he had any kind of near death experience and he said no, he just wasn’t there for six minutes, no awareness of anything at all.

I was checking my remaining car fuel by peering into the tank with a lighter when I began to float upwards. I heard a voice say "Goooooo to the light..." so I started to go there but a huge moth got there ahead me and sparked out!

So I said "No, I don't want the light" and tried to go away from it! I heard my late Grandma say "\/\/ayne...go back \/\/ayne, there's something you haven't done yet..."

So I said "Grandma! What is it? What is it I must do?"

Grandma replied "Go back and eat your vegatables or there will be no desert for youuuuuuu..."

So I went back down and the medic was working on me which I observed until he finally looked up and me and said "What's it going to be, buddy? You going to hang around there all day or go back in the body?" So I went back into the body.

That irritates the hell out of me. “ Hey look! This anesthesia is costing me a fortune! Ease me into it, let me get my money’s worth.”

I have read that during the French Revolution, those beheaded would blink, their mouths would try to say something but with no voice box no voice would be heard. But it was just momentarily.

I was told by a friend that he read about an experiment undertaken during the French Revolution. A person who was going to the guillotine agreed to blink, if possible, after being beheaded - once if it didn't hurt or twice if it hurt. He blinked twice.

“The brain continues to function after death.”

The eyes in beheaded heads will look at you if you call their name. Doesnt last long.

It’s called VERSED.
My daughter had surgery. They misspelled her name, so I had to go through and change it on every sheet of paper. I also wrote NO VERSED! That shit will make you forget your own phone number.
