In this episode of "Death And," mortician and funeral director Victor M. Sweeney sits down with Dr. Tony Cicoria, an orthopedic surgeon who shares his remarkable near death experience after being struck by lightning. The conversation centers on Tony’s experience of dying, and what it means to come back, fundamentally changed…touching on the spiritual, medical, and personal impact of such an event. Dr. Cicoria recounts leaving his body, observing his own resuscitation, and experiencing a profound sense of peace and love, which then led to an unexpected affinity for classical music, a new skill he didn’t have prior, and a transformation in how he relates to others through his medical practice. Together, they explore the deeper questions of spirituality, the nature of consciousness, and how moments at the edge of life can inspire lasting change.
