Pat Talked About His Near-Death Experience
In 2019, Pat felt unbearable pain and was wheeled into emergency surgery.
In an interview, he said that he took a morning walk with his daughter like other days and came back home and got ready for work, and all of a sudden, he had horrific pain in his stomach.
He didn’t know what happened to him. Two and a half hours later, he was taken for surgery.
He has an intestinal blockage. He said the pain was so intense that none of the drugs worked to ease his pain.
He said they gave one drug to him, and after that, he didn't feel his pain. Instead, he saw beautiful pastels and faces in front of him.
He felt like his wife and daughter, who were beside him, were miles apart. At that moment, he thought that it must be what death feels like.
He said he was not heartbroken that he was going to die.
He was sad for his wife and kids, thinking their lives would change dramatically after his death.
He felt terrible for them as they had to deal with such a thing. Fortunately, he was high on medicine, and that was his imagination.
His surgery was ultimately successful. He didn’t have any complications after the surgery.
