Bart told this story about a woman who knew she was going to die.
I have a third party story that has always intrigued me. I used to be in the orthopedic business and a friend of mine who is an orthopedic surgeon told me a story of a woman that came in for a routine knee replacement. She was about sixty years old. After the surgery the doctor went in to see how she was doing and he said, how are you feeling? And she said, not too well. He asked why, because the recovery was going great and she was doing fine and she said, because I am going to die today. He said, what are you talking about? and she said, I know I am going to die today. He said don’t be crazy, you’re fine. Don’t worry, you’re recovering fine. There is no infection, everything is normal. He went in later in the day to check on her and she had in fact died.
