Doctor Calls Near-Death Experience a 'Miracle'

"Velma Thomas' heart stopped beating three times -- and her doctors thought she was dead.

Doctors took Velma Thomas off life support -- and then she woke up.
She was taken by ambulance to a local West Virginia hospital when her heart stopped after experiencing symptoms of a heart attack. For more than 17 hours, Thomas had no measurable brain waves, according to her doctors.
Doctors tried everything to save Thomas' life, even inducing hypothermia in an attempt to lower her body temperature and stimulate the brain.


Her family said their goodbyes and left her side at the hospital to make funeral plans.

But after medical staff took Thomas off life support, she miraculously came back to life.

"I said, 'God, just show me something,'" her nephew, Daniel Pence, told ABC News."
