Penny Wittbrodt accepted her first position as a Cardio-thoracic ICU nurse. Most of her nursing career was spent in critical care. She was forced to give up her nursing career when in 2013, she was assaulted by a patient. The attack left her with a spinal injury which required a lengthy surgery and left her with permanent nerve damage in her spine, left arm, and hand. Unable to work, she fell into a dark depression and began isolating herself. This led to overwhelming social anxiety which in turn, caused her to withdrawal even further.
Several months after surgery, she developed a mysterious autoimmune condition (mast cell activation disorder) which caused eighteen bouts of respiratory failure, over two-and-a-half years. Doctors had no answers and every treatment they prescribed failed.
During two episodes of respiratory failure, Penny had near-death experiences and was brought into the presence of God. There she learned what she needed to do to overcome her illness and took action.
That decision dramatically changed the course of her life. Based on her experience, she was invited to write a chapter for Dr. Penny Sartori’s book, “The Transformative Power of Near-Death Experiences.” Penny is now in the process of writing her first book, “A Life Reclaimed.”
Penny now hosts two podcasts. One on Rumble called Covid19 Warrior and the other on YouTube called, Life From A Near-Death Perspective.
