Tina Hines of Phoenix, Arizona, had a life-altering experience after surviving a 27-minute cardiac arrest. Collapsing before a hike, Tina’s husband Brian performed CPR, saving her life multiple times before medical professionals took over. Upon awakening in the hospital, Tina urgently wrote, “it’s real,” describing a vivid vision of vibrant colors and Jesus standing before illuminated gates.
Tina’s survival and vision are remarkable given the low survival rates of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests. Prompt CPR significantly increases survival chances, though women are less likely to receive it from bystanders. Cardiac arrests affect 356,000 Americans yearly, often unpredictably.
Near-death experiences (NDEs) like Tina’s, reported by 10 to 20 percent of survivors, intrigue scientists. Research suggests the brain undergoes heightened activity during cardiac arrest, possibly explaining ordered NDEs.
Tina’s story resonates with believers in an afterlife. Despite challenges in deciphering her message, Tina and her family believe in her glimpse of paradise. Her recovery and tale emphasize the importance of immediate medical care during cardiac emergencies and the mysteries surrounding NDEs. Share this story for hope and inspiration.
