In this episode, we delve into a fascinating yet often overlooked medical phenomenon—near-death experiences (NDEs)—with John C. Hagan III, an ophthalmologist and expert on the subject. Despite being reported by as many as one in five patients who survive critical medical events, NDEs remain absent from most medical curricula, leaving physicians unprepared to recognize and support patients through these transformative experiences. John discusses the key features of NDEs, their impact on patients and families, and why it’s crucial for health care professionals to ask, listen, validate, and educate.
John C. Hagan III is an ophthalmologist.
He discusses the KevinMD article, "What you need to know about near-death experiences."
