What happens when we die – Dr Sam Parnia
During my operation I was floating around the operating theatre. I could see the surgeon and nurses working in my body, although I cannot now remember how many people there were. I could also hear their conversation. The surgeon said he would leave the wound open to let it drain as the appendix had burst. He then visited me on the ward afterwards to explain what he had done and I already knew as I had heard him. He said I couldn't possibly have heard him and suggested that a nurse had been to my bedside and told me. I did not tell him I had seen the operation being performed
