Pronounced Dead for 20 Minutes - What He Saw and How it Changed His Life Forever

I am very grateful and honored today to have Scott Drummond join us. The backstory of why we are here today might be something interesting enough to talk about how we ended up here, even that has affected me, but

what

are we going to do? In fact, I think he has the potential to help a lot of people and I feel very honored that he agreed to be here today. There are times in some people's lives where they have these big resets, their priorities change or something big happens and it just changes everything, it seems like maybe you've had more than one of those moments in your

life

and I've had the honor of hearing a little bit about some of them, but it seems like most people haven't heard of some of these. stories, so the only question I wanted to ask you is why now, why did you feel like this was a good time to share some of these really personal moments?

Well,

what

that reminded me of was what's happening right now. with Cova 19 there are so many people out there who are afraid of what could happen to them and for me it is not a fear because of what I have gone through before with what I will spend in a way like about 20

minutes

and See things that most of the People don't see when I started thinking after talking to you on the road that day was how people shouldn't be afraid of death, what it did for me when I was 28 years old. It was like waking up and finding out where my values ​​are and where I'm sitting with my family and where I'm with my dad in heaven, you know, at the time when I was working for the city government that I was working with and I didn't spend a lot of time at home and what it did for me was bring me closer to my family.

Here I am almost 67 years old and I have said very little about this because it has meant a lot to me and it is apart from telling maybe a couple of my family members and of course my wife, no one knows what happened in my mind , it is very vivid every day. I was on the ski slopes in Park City and we were having a great time. skiing all day and I was in the ski line and suddenly a lady came down and she had her poles moving in all directions and she ran into us in the ski line and well, she'll say I skied the rest of the day.

When I was done I took off my glove and went down to the car, my thumb was hanging down and I pulled it completely out of the socket and I knew something had to be done to me. It started to hurt once I got into that warm vehicle. You were hurting yourself all day with your thumb hanging out Yeah yeah I knew I had to do something so we scheduled the surgery and got ready what I remember most vividly was sitting in the operating room and the doctor put a sheet between me and me . right hand and my right thumb was destroyed and there was a nurse there and the nurse mentioned to the doctor that she had never done a tourniquet before and she didn't really know how to change the valves and the doctor said that he had growled at her in a situation where the one where they put a tourniquet right here and you have two valves, one is to tighten it once to release the pressure and what happened was that they both had more time to start. with the nerve first and I made a valve and the pressure started to rise again and she opened the second valve and forgot to close the first valve and suddenly I had the feeling that something was going up my arm and crossed towards my heart and The next thing I knew was that he was on top of my body watching the operation, although the only thing was that I was not alone, I had someone next to me watching and I don't know if this is normal or not, but I watched every stitch that was put in my thumb I saw the nurse run out of the room saying that I killed him and which I'm sure put a lot of fear in his mind that what he did didn't work, but I said and even though I never saw the person next to me, I sat down next to him as if I knew that person and everything was done through the mind, you couldn't speak, I could hear what the doctor was doing, but I could never hear the mouth. in mouth what was said with the person and he was next to me and we sat there and watched the operation and I can't tell you how long because there was no clock on the wall or he didn't have a clock Then we saw how serious the doctor was about finishing his surgery at home with Almond.

I saw him cut me here and here and Tara's tendon sticking out. I watched him wrap it around my thumb and I started watching him put it back together, something that was supposed to be a very simple operation and not being so not that good, in the end we sat there for a while and I remember I was sitting on top myself. I was laying down and how do you lay down with your arm like that with the blade right here and I was sitting up here watching the surgery and then I saw I had a thought in my mind, they told me okay, it's time to go and I remember it so vividly. that I could never look back, they told me to never look back. one more time and the next thing I knew it was like the blink of an eye.

I was standing in a field where he, the person who was with me, was right next to me, but I couldn't see him and I looked towards him. to the left and there were some big tall trees and I remember they were very unusual looking trees, with a long trunk with the leaves on top and there were a lot of them and then to the right of what would still be to the left of to me they were wildflowers, just beautiful wildflowers and they were up to my waist and I just remember looking and seeing how beautiful the flowers are because it's something I really enjoy as well as yard work and gardening and I just remembered what vivid colors they were just magnificent and then in front of me and then to the right was tall grass that was probably waist high and I was standing there and the next thing I knew the person who had escorted me there was no longer there and I was alone but it was so peaceful everything was really what I remember so vividly was that I could see in the distance to my left I could see in the distance to my right I was not allowed to look back but forward it was a at that moment it seemed like a cloud was just a white cloud and suddenly in my mind I started to see a video of my

life

and I saw it from the day I was born until I was 28 years old everything everything I had done in my life good bad it didn't matter because what mattered was what they judged me for was what I had done and I remember, I remember that some of it hurt me but some of it made me feel good, but it was what it was there was no one there for him there was no one to say I didn't do that I didn't do it.

I did but there were a lot of things at that time in my life that I wasn't. I was really as on track in my life as I should have been. It was at that time in my life that I was working for the government for the postal service at the time and it was about getting ahead, making enough money, making enough money and I was working. I remember at the time I was working at Jackpot Nevada, which is in the middle of nowhere, and knowing that everything I was doing was for me and not for my family, and I think it was probably out of all that that I saw it, you know, some was good, some was bad, but I knew I had to do better with my life.

I remember suddenly being so calm after it was all over, it was real, nothing, you know, there's no fake stuff. There was nothing, you didn't do this or I didn't do that, I did it, it was all about me and what was so vivid was that it was in my mind, I wasn't talking to anyone, I wasn't negotiating, it was all. in my mind and I visualized them and I left when I was done, it was over, you know, I knew I was

dead

and I knew I was moving on. I received instructions through my mind and that person was not by my side. but in my mind I had to get up and start walking forward and I walked towards this white cloud and an arm went through just this, it just went through and I will never forget it, it was an arm that was strong, it was someone.

That had worked in the agricultural industry where his arms were big and his hands. I remember that we are strong, they were bigger than my hands, they were much meatier and he extended his hand like this and I extended my hand towards his hand and he said It's not your time yet, you still have more things to do. He pulled his arm back and I didn't see him again because of the cloud that was in front of me and that time I came back to my body, the doctor said that. There was a war inside my body, the war was that I didn't want to go back because it was so peaceful, yes, I remember him saying what was going on, but you know why you would be all over that table and I.

I told him I didn't want to go back because it was too beautiful where I had been and I found out he had a piece of paper on his chest and he declared me

dead

for 20

minutes

and I had been He left but he was gone it was the most peaceful place I could ever have been gone when they expelled me. Connie was in the hallway, she had no idea anything had happened to me, but for three days I had never had so much peace. of my life, it is incredible the peace I had for three days lying in that hospital bed and the doctor.

It's kind of funny, the doctor kept coming and checking on me to make sure I was okay and he was extremely nice to me. was a doctor walking around Skousen just so you know Scott's wife Connie is sitting right off screen so you don't think he's talking to himself oh no this isn't my this is my companion my wife Connie well, We have been married 45 years and this is something that I have kept very private and sacred in my life because it meant a lot to me, well, it

changed

my life, it

changed

the way I think about things, that changes the way I think. about my my wife we ​​are together and we are one instead of trying to be, he continued, one would want to try to be at least I'm trying.

I am not perfect. I have a lot to learn in life. My life is taking. in a completely different direction since since I was 28 it has brought me closer to my father in heaven. I know there is a god. I know it without a doubt. One thing I can also say is that I am not afraid. to die because I know how peaceful it will be my thumb works great today I call it my bionic thumb but I love my family I love my wife thank you so much Scott for sharing there are so many things to learn from that just you are not afraid of dying in the weather current world, that's only if some people could hold on to that and just know that many people have died in the last two months knowing that this life is not like that, that there is more and that it is the most peaceful you have ever felt.

Something that I found particularly moving, also, that idea of ​​never looking back, that is also something in our lives. I think we carry a lot of baggage and maybe we feel bad about the things we do. What you've done, I think it's a really interesting message that you had while you were there that we can also remember is that you can always start over, not everyone is going to have an experience like that, but you can take Scott's word for it. that it is like and that this life is not and that there are times when you just have to reprioritize, reset and not look back, not look back at what you have done other than to use that as inspiration to change your life and to do something better, so thank you, thank you very much, I appreciate it.
