I'm super grateful and honored today to
have Scott Drummond join us the
background story alone to why we're here
today could be an interesting thing
enough to talk about how we ended up
here even that has affected me but what
we're gonna actually talk about I think
has the potential to really help a lot
of people and I'm so honored that you've
agreed to be here today there's moments
in some people's lives where they have
these big resets their priorities shift
or something big happens and it just
changes everything it seems like you've
maybe had more than one of those moments
in your life and I've been honored
enough to hear a little tiny bit of some
of those but sounds like most people
haven't heard some of these stories so
the one question I wanted to ask you is
why why now why did you feel like this
was a good time to share some of these
really kind of personal moments for you
well the thing that kind of brought to
mind was what's happening right now with
the Cova 19 there's so many people out
there that are afraid of what might
happen to him and for me it's not a fear
for me because of what I've gone through
before with I'll pass in a way for about
20 minutes and seeing things that I most
people don't get to see when I started
thinking about after talking to you on
the on the trail that day was
how people shouldn't be fearful of of
death what it did for me when I was 28
years old was to kind of wake me up and
find out where my values are and where
my where I'm sitting with my family and
where I am placed with my father in
heaven you know the time I was working
for the government I was working with
out of town and and didn't spend a lot
of time at home and what it did for me
was it brought me closer to my family
Here I am almost 67 years old and I've
talked very little about this because
it's meant a lot to me and it's other
than telling maybe a couple of family
members and of course my wife no one
knows about what happened in my mind it
is very vivid every every day I was up
on the ski slopes in Park City and
having a great time we were skiing all
day and I was in the lift line and all
of a sudden a lady came down and she had
her poles going every which way and and
ran into us in the ski line and well
it'll say I skied the rest of the day
when I got through I took my glove off
and down at the car my thumb was hanging
straight down and it out by thumb
completely out of the socket
and I knew I had to have something done
it started to hurt once I got into that
warm vehicle you skeeved the whole day
with your thumb hanging around yes yeah
I knew I had to get something done so we
scheduled surgery and got prepped in
what I remember most vividly was sitting
in the operating room and and the doctor
put a sheet between me and my right hand
and my thumb right thumb was tore down
and and there was a nurse in there and
the nurse and there made mention to the
doctor that she'd never done a
tourniquet before and don't quite how to
change the valves and and the doctor
said that he'd talked her through it
[Music]
[Music]
growling in a situation you have you put
a tourniquet on right here and you have
two valves one is to tighten it up once
to loosen the pressure and what happened
was both of them more time to begin with
in the nernst and did the one valve and
and the pressure started coming back on
again and she opened the second valve
and forgot to close the first valve and
all of a sudden I had the sensation of
something going up my arm it crossed
into my heart and next thing I knew I
was above my body watching the operation
though it was unique about it was I
wasn't by myself I had someone right
beside me watching and I don't know if
this is normal or not but I watched
every stitch that was put into my thumb
I watched
I watched the nurse go running out of
the room saying that I killed him and
which was I'm sure put a lot of fear in
her mind that what she did didn't work
but I said and even though I never did
see the person next to me i sat right
next to him as if I knew that person and
everything was done through the mind
there was no talking I could hear what
the doctor was doing
but I could never hear mouth-to-mouth
what was being said with the person and
it was next to me and we sat there and
watched the operation and I can't tell
you how long because there was no clock
on the wall or or I didn't have a watch
on we we watched how serious the doctor
was about finishing his surgery home
with almond I watched him take a cut me
here and here and Tara tendon out I saw
him wrap it around my thumb and I
started watching him put beat him back
together something that was supposed to
be a very simple operation and being not
so not that's so good in the end we sat
there for a little while and I can
remember I was sitting above I was
laying down and how you lay out with
your arm like this with the sheet right
here and I was sitting right up here
above watching the surgery and then I
watched I had a in my mind I was told
okay it's it's time to go
and I remember so vividly I could never
look back
it was instructed never to look back yet
again and the next thing I knew and it
was like a twinkling of an eye I was
standing in a in a field where he the
person that was with me was right next
to me but I I couldn't seem and I looked
over to the left and there was some
great big tall trees and I remember they
were the most unusual looking trees at a
long trunk with the leaves up on top and
there were lots of them and then to the
right of that which would be still to
the left of me was wild flowers just
beautiful wild flowers and they were up
about to my waist and I I just remember
looking and seeing how beautiful the
flowers are because it's something that
I really enjoy as is yard work and
gardening and I just remembered the
vivid colors were just magnificent and
then in front of me and then to the
right was tall grass that came up
probably about my waist high and I was
just stand-in there and the next thing I
knew the person that had escorted me
there was not there anymore and I was by
myself
but it was so peaceful
everything was it was really what I
remember so vividly was I could see a
long ways to my left I could see a long
ways to my right I wasn't allowed to
look back but in front of me was a at
the time it seemed like a cloud it was
just a white cloud and all of a sudden
in my mind I started watching a video of
my life and I saw it from from the day
that I was born until I was 28 years old
everything everything that I had done in
my life
good bad it didn't matter because what
mattered was that's what I was being
judged on was what I had done and I
remember I remember some of it hurt but
some of it made me feel good but it was
what it was there was I had no one there
to are he was no one to say I didn't do
that no I did it but there was a lot of
things at that time in my life that I
was I wasn't really as on track yet on
my life as I should have been it was at
that time in my life I was working for
the for the government for the postal
service at the time and it was all about
getting ahead making enough money making
enough money
and I was working I remember at the time
I was working in jackpot Nevada which is
way out in the middle of nowhere and
knowing that everything that I was doing
was for myself and not for my family and
I think probably out of all of that that
I watched it was you know some was good
some was bad but I knew that I had to do
better with my life
I remember all of a sudden just being so
peaceful after it was all over there was
it was real nothing you know there's no
fake stuff there was no you didn't do
this or I didn't do that I did it it was
all about me and what was so vivid was
it was in my mind I wasn't talking to
anybody I wasn't negotiating it was all
in my mind and I was visualized them and
it I leave when I got through I went
it's over you know I I knew that I was
dead and I knew I was moving on I was
instructed through my mind and that
person wasn't next to him but in in my
mind to get up and start walking forward
and I walked up to this white cloud and
an arm came through only about this much
it just came through and I'll never
forget it it was an arm that was strong
it was somebody that had worked in
either in the farming industry where his
arms were big and his hands I remember
we're strong they were bigger than my
hands they were a lot more meaty and he
reached out like this and I reached
towards his hand and he said it is not
yet your time you have more things yet
to do he pulled his arm back through and
I didn't see it again because of the
cloud that was in front of me and that
time I went back into my body the doctor
said that there was a war going on
inside of my body the war was that I did
not want to come back because it was so
peaceful yeah I remember him saying what
was going on but you know why would you
all over the place on that table and I
told him that I didn't want to come back
it was it was too beautiful on you where
I'd been
and come to find out I had a paper on my
chest and it it pronounced me dead for
20 minutes and I'd been gone but I was
gone in it the most peaceful place that
I could have ever went when they willed
me out Connie was out in the hallway she
had no idea that anything had ever
happened to me but for three days I have
never had so much peace of my life as I
it's unbelievable the peace that I had
for three days laying in that hospital
bed and the doctor it's kind of funny
the doctor kept coming back in and
checking on me to make sure I was okay
and was extremely nice to me it was a
doctor scours Skousen just so you're
aware to Scott's wife Connie is sitting
right off-screen so you don't think he's
talking to himself oh no this isn't my
that this is my escort my wife Connie
[Laughter]
well we've been we've been married 45
years and this is something that I have
kept very private and sacred in my life
because I because it meant so much to me
[Music]
well it changed my life changed the way
I think about things that changes the
way I think about my my wife we are
together and we are one instead of
trying to be he went on one would want
trying to be one at least I am trying
I'm not perfect
I've got a lot to learn in life my life
is taking me in a whole different
direction since since I was 28 years old
it's kind of brought me closer to my
father in heaven I know there's a god I
know without a shadow of a doubt one
thing that I can also say is I'm not
afraid of dying because I know how
peaceful it's gonna be my thumb works
today
very good I call it my Bionic thumb but
a but I I love my family I love my wife
thank you so much Scott for sharing
there's so many things to be taken from
that one alone just that you have zero
fear of dying in the world's current
climate that alone if some people could
latch on to that and just know a lot of
people have died in the past two months
knowing that this life isn't it
that there's more and that it's the most
peaceful you've ever felt one thing I
thought was particularly poignant as
well that idea of of never looking back
that's something in our lives too I
think we hold a lot of baggage and maybe
we feel bad about things that we've done
I think that's a really interesting
message that you had while you were
there that we can also take away is that
like you can always start again
not everyone is going to have an
experience like that but you can take
Scott's word for it on what it's like
and that this life isn't it and that
there are times where you just have to
reprioritize reset
and don't look back don't look back at
what you've done
aside from using that as inspiration to
change your life and to to do something
better so thank you thank you so much
appreciate it
