I think there is one case of that. However most of the evidence revolves around people being able to describe what the doctors are doing from an angle above them and even events in other rooms while they are under anesthesia and in the middle of surgery. It is a very interesting book.
I’ve read a lot of books like that. My favorite is probably Life After Life by Moody. You’re right. Some of the things are uncanny. The good thing is, we’ll all find out someday.
I have had surgery under anesthesia that contains memory blocking so that you don’t wake up groggy; you are so alert, you may not even think anything has happened. It’s like taking videotape, cutting out footage, and resplicing the tape. If there is any sort of continuity, the viewer is completely unaware a section is missing.
That, to me, is what death is like. Except the tape doesn’t continue after the splice, and you never wake up.
