Dr. María José Cardoso is a physician specializing in Family and Community Medicine, Emergency Medicine, Palliative Care in children and adolescents, among other studies. Ihre Berufung zur Wissenschaft und zum Verständnis verschiedener Phänomene im Zusammenhang mit dem Tod erwachte aus ihrer eigenen Erfahrung.
From a very young age, Dr. Cardoso lived two realities: being a person with fragile health and also comfortably living with “imaginary friends” who knew they were dead. This situation led her to a rather solitary way of life, which in her adolescence also transformed into a depressive state.
At that time, the medical team considered Elektroschocktherapie beneficial given her medical condition. She underwent 9 sessions of this therapy, which constituted a turning point for her due to the out-of-body experiences she had during these sessions.
From that moment on, she became a scholar of Medicine with a focused interest in death, which has persisted until now.
Ihre persönlichen Fähigkeiten und wissenschaftlichen Kenntnisse haben es ihr ermöglicht, die wissenschaftlichen Grundlagen der Phänomene zu finden, die den Tod vermitteln, und sie zu erleben. This knowledge about the moment of dying provides invaluable data for those who are dying, their families, and the healthcare personnel accompanying them, so that each can determine how they want to approach the process of dying moving forward.
