  My great grandpa said he saw his wife. In Spanish he all told us “Maria is here to get me” and passed away literally a minute later. Those were his last words. My great-grandmother is someone I never knew. She died young and he lived to be almost 90 so he lived most of his life without her. Yet at the end, all he saw was her. <br>My brother almost died while my mom gave birth to him a few years later. My mom said she felt like she was there, like she said it was so overwhelming she begged her not to take him.She said “I feel like she was there to take your brother.” He lived, after a surgeon (who was visiting from New York ) performed an extremely rare procedure that only he and a few other doctors knew. He was there to teach a seminar on that surgery at UCLA. It was a stroke of luck.

  Forgot to add, kids are non threatening &nbsp;when the patient is close to death.

  I am a therapist in the US. Worked in the hospital system - adult psychiatry. We are overworked, undervalued, and underpaid. I see a lot of patients who are nurses and hear all the crap they have to go through. Healthcare system work their providers and healthcare staff to the ground. My sis is a nurse and I can say so many things you talk about is so true. I love your videos and podcasts!

  A patient once told me to go back to Africa where I went to school. I explained to him that I went to college in the United States and got my first Nursing License in the United States. He still refused treatment so I documented his refusal and informed my supervisor of his concern. My supervisor went to his room and assured him that I was one of her best nurses and that I attended school and did my nursing training in the United States. The patient later got his treatment and called me his favorite nurse after about a week.

  When I was 3, my mom and I were in our living room and I asked her if she was going to answer the door. She was confused. I told her that Jesus was knocking on the door.

  Had a patient in the ICU, <br>He was in a coma for two weeks and his vitals were stable but generally not good. <br>His son was a CEO of a huge company far away and he could not come for three weeks. <br>The father seriously made it to three weeks, the son actually arrived a day later and as soon as he opened the door and said &quot;dad I&apos;m here&quot; the monitor showed that his heartbeat had stopped.

  I believe that when patients die unhappy or unrested at facilities their spirits come back to haunt the nursing homes/hospitals. 😦 Ive had some creepy encounters where i used to work but nothing too crazy
