A phenomenal collection of medical patient accounts of encounters with the mysterious during severe illness and life-threatening injury from the voice of the physician who took care of them. Both touching and thought-provoking, this book invites you to reconsider what happens when we die, and in doing so, challenges you to ponder that perhaps we are much more than our earth-bound physical bodies.
Near-death experiences are often profoundly meaningful, yet when they are reported, they are frequently met with skepticism and dismissal by medical caregivers and family members. But do we have to fully understand these events to honor the transformative role they often play in the lives of those who experience them?
For nearly twenty years, Dr. Laurin Bellg has been present at the bedside of critically ill and dying patients. As she has worked to create an accepting and supportive relationship with them, her patients have shared with her the mysterious experiences they sometimes have during moments of crisis of apparently seeing beyond our physical world. In telling their engaging, powerful and sometimes humorous stories, Dr. Bellg invites the reader to consider that bearing witness to a patient's near-death experience is a respectful and meaningful part of medical care, a way for families to support their loved ones, and an important part of the patient's healingDo we need to prove they are something more than the result of illness, medication or a dying brain to acknowledge their power to impact lives in a positive way?

Interesting believable book written by a respected doctor. One thing that struck me was Dr. Bellg's rather obvious effort to avoid any reference to God. This may be because she doesn't want to add to the controversy. I give her credit for following the story where it takes her in spite of potential damage to her creditability from others within her profession. I asked a friend who is a geriatric doctor if he had ever heard any similar stories. His response was right out of Dr. Bellg's book. He said that yes he has heard these type of experiences expressed from patients, but he doesn't like to broadcast it since it is frowned upon within the practice. I recommended the book to him.Product details

Near Death in the ICU Stories from Patients Near Death and Why We Should Listen to Them edition by Laurin Bellg MD Professional Technical eBooks Reviews
Amazing! As a hospice nurse I have had 9 out of 10 patients "talk to people that have passed" or "see things." In fact, as part of my education to families I prepare them for it.
Laurin's writing kept me interested yet helped me to learn from her compassion and medical knowledge. It was a different perspective that, frankly, isn't discussed among physicians frequently. Thank you for sharing your stories. Your patients were truly blessed to have such a caring physician at the perfect time.
This honestly written book from a completely clinical perspective of a professional physician. Reading between her lines, offers hope that there is more to life than the termination of death. Lifts the veil of tears to reveal that there is an afterlife. Death is not the end of our souls, according to her observations and sensitive understanding of her patients in an Emergency Care Unit. Many of those who were technically dead, revived and brought back to earthly life, recounted incredible remembrances of their spiritual experiences from the beyond. This is an important book to read, beyond materialism and gives hope and solace to their loved ones. An objective read to the most important event in our lives. Our deaths.
Dr. Bellg exemplifies the best in medical practice. Near Death in the ICU gives voice to ICU patients who report near death experiences, out of body experiences, and afterlife communications. As a scientist, Dr. Bellg is careful not to explain what she considers beyond the scope of modern day science. Yet, she honors the NDE as something important, if not sacred, rather than outright dismissing them from a position of materialistic scientism.
Dr. Bellg's case presentations are varied and beautifully described. She even adds some of her own mystical experiences to the mix. Moreover, she faithfully conveys testimonies of transformation from people coming from all walks of life. What stands out from other NDE books, Dr. Bellg provides the unique context of working in the ICU. Her careful description of emergency room and follow-up procedures adds a context of realism to otherwise abstract, mystical experiences. Dr. Bellg's objective stance towards also add credibility to otherwise easily dismissed testimonies. If anything else, Near Death in the ICU teaches people to honor the truth of others, regardless of their own beliefs. These lessons seem to be especially aimed toward the medical community. I believe that her stance is much needed, especially when more and more people are being revived from brief periods of death. Too many patients are dismissed by doctors, often leading to self-doubt and shame. Likewise, too many hospice patients are loaded up with anti-psychotic medications, often impeding their joyful transition into death. As a psychologist, I note vast differences between the qualities of afterlife communications and genuine symptoms of mental illness. Dr. Bellg's book helps rectify this tragedy.
For all the reasons stated and more, I highly recommend Near Death in the ICU. Although written by a physician, she uses layman's terms making the book easy to read. The book is smart, intriguing, and potentially transforming for the reader.
This book meant a lot to me. Nearly twenty years ago I lost my 38 year old brother to AIDS, then a year later my mother to heart disease. My father had died from cancer when I was 19. When I was all that remained of my first family I was beyond devastated. I had always considered myself an agnostic at best so losing all of my first family was unthinkable, they were just gone. I have always been an avid reader so I embarked on a course of private study of everything I could find that related to death, dying, out of body experiences and reincarnation. Some of the physics books, in particular quantum science, gave me hope as it explained that energy never dies, so it offered a possibility that something of a human may continue after the death of its body. But the big question for me was the part that makes us "us," our conscious mind, does it survive? I found little to offer hope that our unique personality survives death. I read many other books, some by doctors, that seemed to offer more information on out of body experiences that were encouraging. A few intriguing books explored children who seemed to recall past lives, but most of the books seemed to take a spiritual angle or assumed the reader was on board with their core belief. Dr. Belleg's book was different. She careful to present the facts of her encounters without drawing any overt conclusions. I admired her skill at explaining our western culture of medicine is so proof based that anything falling outside their remit of science becomes impossible to consider, and any doctors who claim to believe otherwise risk ostracism or even expulsion. When Dr. Bellg began asking her "unusal" question, that is asking patients "Did anything unusual happen to you?" It provided a safe, affirming way for people to talk about anything without fear or embarrassment. Allowing patients to relate their experiences to a doctor, an authority figure, was not just sensible, it was something every healer should practice without fail. This book is the last I need to read on the subject. I know I'll never have absolute proof, but this book gave me what I needed to believe in the likihood of the survival of consciousness after the death of its body. Thank you, Dr. Belleg for writing this book, I feel a weight has been lifted from my shoulders. It is beautifully written and worth much more than the small price I paid.
Interesting believable book written by a respected doctor. One thing that struck me was Dr. Bellg's rather obvious effort to avoid any reference to God.
