"The Day I Died" BBC documentary about NDEs.
That's the best documentary I've seen about NDEs.

QUOTE:

Pam Reynolds "I don’t remember the operating room. I don’t remember seeing Dr Spetzler at
all. It was one of his fellows that was with me at that time. After that, nothing.
Absolutely nothing until the sound." "And the sound was unpleasant,.. reminiscent
of being in a dentist's office, and I remember the top of my head tingling, and I
just sort of popped out of the top of my head, and I was there looking down at
the body. And I knew that it was my body, but I didn’t care. My vantage point
was sort of sitting on the doctor's shoulder. I remember the instrument in his hand.
It looked like the handle of my electric toothbrush. I had assumed that they were
going to open the skull with a saw. I heard the term saw. But what I saw looked
a lot more like a drill than a saw. It even had these little Bits which were kept in
this case. It was like the case my father kept his pocket wrenches in when I was
a child. Then I distinctly remember hearing a female voice saying "We have a problem,
the artery is too small" (Male) "Try the other side". It seemed to come from down
on the table. I do remember wondering what are they doing there, because this is
brain surgery. And what had happened was that they had accessed the femural
arteries in order to drain the blood, and I did not understand that."
"In the course of my study I interviewed Dr Spetzler, and looked at his operative
report, I found that what she saw in her OBE seemingly corresponded very accurately
to what had actually occurred. She looked at the bone saw that was being used
to cut open her skull, I didn't have any idea what this thing looked like. She described
it as an electric toothbrush which I thought was ridiculous, I had to send off for
a picture of this saw to Fort Worth, Texas, to confirm whether or not what she
said it looked like was accurate. And I was astounded when I saw the picture,
it does in deed resemble an electric toothbrush."
"I don’t think the observations that she made were based on her experiences as
she went into the operating room, they were just not available to her. For the drill
and so on, all those things were covered up. Not visible, they were inside their
packages. You really don’t get to open them until the patient is completely asleep,
so that you can maintain a sterile environment. She also heard a conversation
during the operation between Dr Spetlzer and the cardiovascular surgeons that
were cutting in to her legs to hook her up to the heart lung machine. When the
cardiac surgeon incised her right groin, she found that her veins and arteries were
too small. She had to go over to the left side. And the conversation between the
doctors, Pam accurately recalled hearing that conversation."
"At that stage in the operation, nobody can observe, hear, in that state. And I find
it inconceivable that your normal senses such as hearing , let alone that she had
clicking modules in her ears, that there was any to hear those words through
normal auditory pathways. So again this is very suggestive that there was some sort
of extrasensory perception, or OBE or whatever occurring at the time, which was
allowing Pam hear accurately and seemingly see accurately what was going on in the
operating room at the time.
Pam Reynolds "I felt a presence, I sort of turned around to look at it, and then it was that I saw
the tiny pin-point of light. And the light seemed to pull me, and I know how odd
this must sound, nevertheless it was true. There is a visible sensation, rather like
going over,.. and I went toward the light. I began to discern different people
different figures. I heard a friend call. It was a very immediate voice. And I went
over to her. It felt great. Someone called me who had passed away when he was
only thirty nine years old. He had taught me a lot, he taught me to play my first
guitar, and I saw many many people I knew, and others I didn’t know, but I knew
that I was in some way connected to them. I asked if God was the light, and the
answer was No God is not the light. The light is what happens when God breathes.
And I remember thinking that I am standing in the breath of God. At some point
in time I was reminded that it was time to go back. Of course I had made my
decision to go back, before I laid down on that table. But the more I was there,
the better I liked it. And my uncle was the one that brought me back down to the
body. When I got to where the body was, I had a look at the thing, and I was sure
that I didn’t want to get into it, because it looked pretty much like it was, as void
of life, and I knew it would hurt, since I didn’t want to get back in, he started reasoning
with me, like diving into a swimming pool. He reminded me about the children.
And I said My children will be fine. You have got to go. "No!" He pushed me, he
gave me a little help there. It has taken a long time, but I think I am ready to forgive
him for that! I saw the body jump and then he pushed me, and I felt..
Commentator"This is a classic NDE occurring under extremely monitored medical conditions,
where very known vital sign, and basically every clinical sign of life and death
was being monitored at the time. And that is what makes her case so remarkable
and so valuable."

This is similar to, but not exactly the same as other accounts I've heard and read. I've never had a NDE, so I can't say for certain, but I surmise that OBEs, NDEs, etc. are individualized, just as is our perception of Life, colors, pain, happiness, and everything else that happens to us--collectively and singularly.
