Doctors to study near-death experiences

A group of doctors are going to study cardiac arrest patients to bring a medical perspective to the study of NDEs.

I say “medical” and not “scientific” because I assume the doctors are going to use the standard medical study p-value of 0.05 rather than natural sciences’ 0.0001 p-value.

Since this is NOT a study upon which matters of life and death hinge, not using a stricter standard means this research will have less than the greatest of scientific insight or foundation.
