A neuro psychiatrist in Britain has come up with a clever idea. He wants to
place certain unique objects in emergency rooms that can only be seen from
the ceiling or thereabouts. So if people report 'seeing their body' they
will be quizzed as to whether or not they saw these certain objects. Stay
tuned, don't be too cynical, but don't hold your breath either, unless you
want to end up in an emergency room .... .
