Near Death Experience
Ohio truck driver saw heaven for 45 minutes, then God sent him backby Power Point Paradise • March 2, 2014
Truck driver Brian Miller,41, was delivering metal to a warehouse in Streetsboro, Ohio, when he felt a sudden tightness in his chest.
At first he thought the tightness might be due to a frigid blast from the polar vortex or even asthma, but as the pain sharply intensified, he dialed 9-1-1. “I’m a truck driver and I think I’m having a heart attack,” he told the dispatcher.
Paramedics brought him to University Hospitals’ Ahuja Medical Center, where doctors discovered a complete blockage of his main artery, a condition sometimes nicknamed the ‘widow maker’ due to its often-fatal results. Former NBC News Washington Bureau Chief Tim Russert died suddenly from a similar blockage.
After Dr. William Wolf performed emergency surgery to clear the blockage, Miller seemed to be recovering. He was sitting up in bed, talking, and in good spirits, but then his heart careened into ventricular fibrillation – or V-fib – an acute medical emergency.
Miller in ICU
“His heart was quivering in there; it wasn’t able to pump,” ICU nurse Emily Bishop told Fox8 News in Cleveland. She frantically called “Code Blue” for CPR and a half-dozen doctors and nurses rushed in to see if they could restore Miller’s heart.
If a V-fib continues for more than a few seconds, it often moves into a “flatline” condition in such situations, with cardiogenic shock and complete loss of blood flow. Sudden death usually results in mere moments.
They knew that if Miller was not revived within about five minutes, he could sustain irreversible brain damage and possibly become brain dead.
Despite their heroic efforts, Miller began to slip away. “He had no heart rate. He had no blood pressure. He had no pulse; his brain had no oxygen for 45 minutes,” Bishop recounted. “We shocked him four times and it still didn’t work.”
When his heart stopped, Miller entered another dimension of reality. “I started to see a light and I started walking toward the light,” Miller told News8.
Then his eyes beheld a wondrous sight. “It opened into a most beautiful path with flowers.
His mother-in-law, Kay, who had passed away from cancer only 10 days prior to his health emergency, greeted Miller. “She was the most beautiful thing when I saw her, just like the day I first met her,” he recounted. “She looked so happy.”
Then she grabbed his arm. “It’s not your time. You don’t need to be here,” she told him. “We need to take you back. You have things to do at home.”
Her husband, Jack, stood nearby. He waved and gave Miller a smile. Then Miller’s soul returned to his body.
After 45 minutes, Miller’s pulse and normal heart function returned – something inexplicable to the medical professionals around him. “Think about it. His brain had no oxygen for 45 minutes,” nurse Bishop marveled. “So the fact that he’s up walking, talking, and laughing is amazing,” she told News8.
“When he first woke up he said he had seen my dad and mom, and he had seen the light. He was talking real shallow from all the medical equipment they had on him,” Miller’s wife, Roberta, told Fox News. She and Brian have three daughters.
Miller later told Fox News he always believed in “the Lord” and the afterlife. “I went to church a lot when I was growing up,” he recalled. “And after I got married I didn’t hardly go to church.”
Now he considers his mother-in-law his guardian angel. Before she passed away, she gave him a guardian angel figure for his truck, which says, “don’t ever drive faster than your guardian angel can fly.”
“I kiss it every day when I am driving my truck,” he noted. “There is an afterlife and people need to believe in it.”

The experiences, one may have, are down to what's already in ones mind. If you die, you don't come back, anything else is just your mind playing tricks. IMO
your reason for being here is what???
Interesting blog Mr man in white
can't say iv ever experienced any such thing however that doesn't mean to say i'v not experienced strange going on's concerning life & death
You know what you saw and experienced! I had a similar experience when I had heart bypass surgery. I had cardiac arrest and was dead for more than 10 minutes until I was revived. I experienced something similar.
Hey...if you don't like this kind of blog, then don't read them! You show your ignorance by making a comment like that!
I am not religious and have had a couple of NDE and I know what I saw.
Anyway, who is here to say whether these are lies or not?
I would be happy to tell you about it...but not on here! I tried to send you an email and explain it there but I am out of your area and was blocked. My profile isn't blocked if you want to send me an email, I will answer it.
God bless all of the believers and non-believers!
To say prove god is real is exactly the same as asking someone to prove the tooth fairy exists.
There is no proof that a god of any kind exists and people saying it does wont change that fact. I dont know exactly why people believe what is so obviously made up,most of what I have observed seems to point to a need to avoid taking responsibility for our own lives and actions.
What if I were to say the opposite, that to my experience, those who deny God the loudest are those who wish to live their lives with impunity, doing as they wish, no matter how harmful their actions are to others? Because this IS my experience. Those who I see taking more responsibility for their actions are those who know they will have to account for their actions when they meet their maker.
If your argument is the truth because it is your observation, then my argument is the truth because it is my observation. And if that is the case, then that means that truth is dependent on our perception and, therefore, differs from one person to another. Is that what you believe?
PS
For all of you doubters in God, He is REAL!
I deny god yet do not live my life in a way that is harmful to others. The majority of the god squad I have come across in my life can not say the same. I take responsibility for my own actions and dont have to rely on any fictitious characters to know right from wrong.
My 4 year old grandson thinks the Easter bunny will be leaving chocolate eggs at easter, doesnt mean its true.
See we can all type in caps, still doesnt make it true.
I have myself been to the "other side" and back, but what I saw was far beyond any description...
What people see will be depending upon their own perception and their own beliefs...
Same as some people will see angels with wings, while I, myself, see luminous beings without any physical shape...
Comments on blogs quite often stray from the original blog topic. I think this one has stayed remarkably close to the blog topic.
I believe 'peddling' refers to selling something. Are you now accusing the OP of soliciting business on CS?
Speaking of not answering questions, you havent answered mine?
We have agreed that our perceptions are just that. My belief that god is a fictitious character is not a perception, it is fact.
How do I know the tooth fairy isn't real? Because one night after loosing a tooth my mother forgot to put a coin under my pillow and then admitted that she was the tooth fairy. I don't recall being very upset about it as finding a quarter or dime under my pillow was not a very significant event in my life. Nor was the mythical santa, although I love Christmas now even more than when I was a child.
Mythical figures can be fun when we are young, but God is not a myth. He's as real as the air that we breathe.
So if your Mother told you god didnt exist then he suddenly wouldnt? Just because she says there is no tooth fairy doesnt mean there isnt.
No, Glatlol. My mother's admission could in no way have persuaded me that the tooth fairy isn't real in and of itself. It was simply confirmation. After all, what does a 'tooth fairy' do apart from placing a coin under a pillow? How much more sense does it make that your mother (or father) tucks the coin under your pillow when you're sleeping than of tiny little winged creature paying you a visit?
In contrast, the subject of God is much more significant and serious a subject and not worthy of being placed in the same category as the 'tooth fairy'. Is that the purpose of your question?
and like i said before,sometimes you really do crack me up.
as for why i called you a liar... what does it matter cause is anyone really one if they honestly believe they are speaking the truth??? therfor, you are not one anymore then Mr keys is
Sweet dreams
ps don't sleep without saying your prayers first
ha
I don't think anyone could have put that more beautifully.
