Near Death Experiences Entering the Mainstream News

As recently featured on Fox News, Near Death Experiences have clearly entered the mainstream and reached the public awareness.

Cicoria is a practicing orthopedic surgeon, and is Chief of the Medical Staff and Chief of Orthopedics at Chenango Memorial Hospital in Norwich, NY.
