When Heaven Finds a Skeptic
I never believed in life after death. As a neurosurgeon trained at Duke and Harvard with fifteen years of practice, I knew consciousness was produced by the brain - when the brain dies, we die. Then in 2008, bacterial meningitis attacked my brain. My neocortex - the part responsible for thought, memory, language, and everything that makes us human - completely shut down for seven days. Medically speaking, I should have either died or emerged as a vegetable. Instead, I experienced something so profound it transformed me from skeptical scientist to someone with an urgent message about consciousness. What makes my case unique isn't just the experience itself but the medical impossibility of it. E. coli meningitis spontaneously appearing in an adult without prior neurosurgery happens to fewer than one in 10 million people annually. My cerebrospinal glucose plummeted to 1 (normal is 80), and my Glasgow Coma Scale hit 8/15. The medical team told my family to prepare for my death. My brain wasn't just impaired - the part necessary for consciousness was offline, documented by multiple neurological exams and lab tests. Yet here I am, not only recovered but transformed. How is this possible?
