Sir Alexander Ogston, the Scottish surgeon who discovered Staphylococcus bacteria, experienced a near-death episode during the South African War while suffering from typhoid fever at Bloemfontein Hospital. While lying in a stupor from the fever, he felt his mind and body becoming two separate entities, with his consciousness existing apart from his physical form which he perceived as an inert mass near a door.
During this out-of-body state, Ogston experienced an unusual form of perception where he could see through the walls of the building while remaining aware they were there - everything appeared transparent to his senses. From this state, he witnessed events occurring in other parts of the hospital that he could not have known through normal means. He observed a Royal Army Medical Corps surgeon in another part of the hospital become very ill, scream, and die - seeing medical staff cover the corpse and carry it out quietly on shoeless feet to avoid alerting other patients. Ogston specifically observed the death and removal of an RAMC surgeon he did not know existed, located in a different part of the hospital. He saw the man grow ill, scream, die, be covered, and carried out secretly on shoeless feet. He witnessed the body being taken to the cemetery the following night. These observations occurred while he was in a typhoid stupor in another location. When Ogston later reported these observations to the nursing sisters, they confirmed that everything had happened exactly as he had described. The verification by medical staff established that his perceptions during the typhoid fever stupor were accurate despite occurring in a different part of the hospital outside his physical sensory range.
