Richmond Gyimah was sick. A persistent, very rare, intestinal problem he had since a child was only getting worse. In 2008, he went to have it checked out, but the doctors said there was nothing wrong with him. A year later, his intestinal pain was getting almost unbearable, and in 2009, at the age of 23, Richmond was admitted to Korle Bu Hospital, a prominent hospital in Ghana (in Western Africa). There, at the Korle Bu Hospital, his condition worsened.
The surgery had to be delayed. On March 9, 2009, when he finally could have surgery, a doctor told him that everyone his age who got that surgery did not survive. He wanted to get the surgery anyway because he was in extreme pain. During the operation, his spirit left his body and was taken to Heaven. What Richmond experiences there will open your eyes.
This is based on the video series posted up on YouTube by Kay Boachie on Dec. 15, 2011. This series is in English, translated from its original language. (Click here to watch it on YouTube.) Kay translated (into English) Richmond’s original testimony which was posted on YouTube by “kobina ofosu” on June 19, 2011. I have tried my best to be as accurate as possible to Kay’s translation, but I am not perfect (see Works Cited at the end). Thank you for reading.

Richmond felt he had no choice. The pain in his abdomen had
only been getting worse and while he was at the hospital, it grew in intensity.
He knew he could very well die, but he was willing to take that risk because
the pain from a rare intestinal condition had been with him since his early twenties. Besides this, Richmond told the doctor that he is a Christian and said he has his faith and hope in God, not in statistics.
Now, three hours into the surgery, Richmond screamed in pain. The pain in his heart was like a sharp sword and he could not hold on any longer. Suddenly, he blacked out. The last thing he remembered on Earth was screaming in pain.

The Testimony of Richmond Gyimah: His Encounter with Heaven and Hell
(1) The Surgery
Intense pain pierced through his chest, most intense at his
heart, and Richmond screamed. He had been through three hours of surgery (at the
Korle Bu Hospital) after being given anesthetics, but pain had suddenly shot
through his heart. The words of the surgeon just prior to the surgery echoed
through his mind: “…no one with this kind of condition at your age has ever
survived this kind of surgery.”

Now, three hours into the surgery, Richmond screamed in pain. The pain in his heart was like a sharp sword and he could not hold on any longer. Suddenly, he blacked out. The last thing he remembered on Earth was screaming in pain.
