Dr. Eben Alexander is a medical marvel. The academic neurosurgeon of 25 years was bolted into a coma after an attack of E. coli meningitis in 2008, part of his brain shut down, and his doctors lost hope of his survival. Where was Dr. Eben, you ask? Heaven. Oprah Winfrey will interview Alexander about his near-death experience and details of his new book, Proof of Heaven: A Neurosurgeon’s Journey into the Afterlife on Dec. 2. Be sure to check out more of this fascinating story at 11AM ET/PT on OWN.
