    Near-death experiences: What doctors need to know but aren’t taught

    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.

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.
