Dr. Penny Sartori worked as an intensive care nurse for 17 years. She undertook the UK’s largest and first long term prospective study of near-death experiences and was awarded a PhD for her research in 2005. She is uniquely qualified as not only has she worked daily with dying patients for many years but she also has the benefit of undertaking doctoral research into NDEs. Whereas previous research about Near Death Experience has been unable to verify events that have been reported, more recent hospital research is showing that NDEs can no longer be dismissed as hallucinations or aberrations of a dying brain. Dr. Penny Sartori is the author of the book, "The Wisdom of Near-Death Experiences: How Understanding NDEs Can Help Us Live More Fully." Dr. Penny reiterates that hearing what these people have to say can benefit us all without having to nearly die ourselves.
