Oscar was 20 years old when he was shot during a fight in 1974, with the bullet rupturing his atria and pericardium. He remained conscious for 20 minutes until reaching the hospital. During emergency surgery, he experienced two cardiac arrests - one during the operation and another afterward. Despite never having been in a hospital or operating room before, Oscar found himself floating above his body, calmly observing the entire surgical procedure. He watched as doctors cut his sternum and performed manual heart massage. He observed specific details including the surgeon requesting particular instruments, an electrical outlet that wasn't working requiring them to switch to another outlet, and the use of a polisher-like device with a cog wheel. He also witnessed events at his home, seeing his mother and brothers hugging in their yard until his mother fainted, with a neighbor then entering their house. After recovery, Oscar told the surgeon everything about the procedures and instruments used, which the doctor confirmed was accurate despite Oscar having no prior medical knowledge. He experienced profound peace and tranquility throughout, with no tunnel or light, and the experience left him with no changes in his beliefs but with the certainty that consciousness continues after death.
