[He gave him a wide-eyed 'are you even serious with this?' look.] I'm afraid I have several nitpicks, if I may.

First of all, it may astonish you, but being a surgeon is not a qualification to knowing what death feels like. Unless it's radically different over in America, it's not considered standard to kill medical students to give them a decent understanding. Hell, I was a soldier. We weren't!

Secondly, it's out of the realms of scientific knowledge where I come from to transfer individuals to separate universes, much less give them extraordinary gifts. Sufficed to say, it would be quite reasonable to assume something extraordinary is going on, wouldn't you agree?

Thirdly, you've not asked 'how' once up until now. You've immediately assumed that you are dead and now in hell. Now, begging your pardon, as I am not a scientist, but I have met several, and they do like to bang on about things such as 'the scientific method' and it's the religious types who tend to jump to hell as explanations.

Now, I'm not one to arbitrarily divide the two but patronising me rather than accepting my efforts to convince you that you're not about to suffer eternal damnation seems rather poor form? Your current condition is something you would, in your experience in both being a surgeon and alive, describe as 'living', is it not?
