The Story
Robbie McLan, a site construction manager from New Zealand working in Australia, had a near-death experience during open-heart surgery on July 19, 2021. The surgery addressed a heart valve issue and a massive aneurysm caused by years of overwork and health decline. During the experience, Robbie stood in a glowing white room and talked to unseen people. He saw his body on the surgery table. Three hooded beings entered; one placed a silver square on his heart and said, 'I have finished. You can close them up now.' He spotted his deceased friend Tania and father, who looked young. Tania reassured him telepathically that it was okay. Robbie rose above his body and watched the beings work. After the NDE, Robbie felt warmth in his heart and body. He noticed his hands and face looked younger. Colors and nature seemed more vibrant. He gained healing abilities, stronger intuition, and no fear of death. Robbie became more loving and positive, and he started sharing his story and meditating.

The NDE features a detailed out-of-body observation of surgery under general anesthesia from an elevated vantage point, with specific descriptions of instruments, actions, and spoken words by beings, reported immediately upon waking. However, no attempts to verify these details with surgeons or staff are mentioned, and no perceptions were corroborated, severely limiting evidential weight.
Score reflects verifiable perceptions reported. A low score indicates the experience was primarily spiritual or subjective, not that it didn't occur.
Score reflects transformation as described. Domains scored 0 indicate the topic was not discussed, not that no change occurred.
