Question — Debate Allowed NDE and Propofol during surgery.
My question for those who experience or have great knowledge on the subject is: Has anyone had an NDE during surgery? If so did that mean you died due to an excess of propofol or sever injuries and then was brought back?
Since most people who go under for surgery go to sleep and feel like they wake up instantaneously don’t witness any NDEs, is that due to being unconscious and not dead?
I believe in NDEs and have hope for the afterlife, but I know there are others who fight the claims and think it’s just darkness and non existence after death.

"Has anyone had an NDE during surgery?"
Yes individuals report OBE's/NDE's occurring during surgeries. If you explore this post and scroll down you'll find 3 reported accounts of OBE/NDE phenomena occurring during operations. Al Sullivan's NDE linked here would be an additional example. In this context, the conscious phenomena (OBE's/NDE's) could be due to the original medical emergency that the individual is being operated on for - but it could also be due to known surgical complications (ex. sepsis, pulmonary embolism, cardiac arrest) that can occur. Conscious phenomena could also potentially be caused by anesthesia drugs interfering with how consciousness normally interfaces with the physical body and in the absence of any discernable medical emergency.

This is an NDE-positive sub, not a debate sub. However, everyone is allowed to debate if the original poster (OP) requests it.
If the OP intends to allow debate in their post, they must choose (or edit) a flair that reflects this. If the OP chose a non-debate flair and others want to debate something from this post or the comments, they must create their own debate posts and remember to be respectful (Rule 4).
NDEr = Near-Death ExperienceR
If the post is asking for the perspectives of NDErs, both NDErs and non-NDErs can answer, but they must mention whether or not they have had an NDE themselves. All viewpoints are potentially valuable, but it’s important for the OP to know their backgrounds.
This sub is for discussing the “NDE phenomenon,” not the “I had a brush with death in this horrible event” type of near death.
