391. A Doctor's Near Death Experience & Transformation - Dr. Michael Hession

I was very interested to hear the profound near-death experience (NDE) of Dr. Michael Hessian, a renowned cardiac physician. Dr. Hessian shares his journey from battling a severe pneumonia that led to a near-death experience, to his astonishing recovery and the incredible transformation in his personal and professional life. I was fascinated to hear Dr. Hession talk about what he could perceive when we was in a non-communicative, comatose state. Although he could not speak, he was well aware of what was happening around him. He talks about the different approaches people had to interacting with him and how that impacted his recovery. This is a must-listen for anyone who may find themselves in the position of caring for someone who is non responsive. Discover how his NDE reshaped his relationships, deepened his empathy, and led him to advocate passionately for patients who are unable to communicate. Don't miss insights on the significance of compassionate care in the ICU, the role of prayer, and the practice of mindfulness meditation.
