Relax, John. I'm using the term NDE in its conventional (loose) sense of an experience reported by someone who has recovered after cardiac arrest. That there is usually some oxygen deprivation in the brain would probably have something to do with the experience. At no stage would medical people say they've actually died (which is defined by brain death). I think the assumption is that if someone recovers after brain death is diagnosed, then the diagnosis must've been faulty.
