Unbelievable Survivals: 70 Patients Defied All Odds Against Grim Medical Diagnoses
Second was a lady who was roughly 8 months pregnant. Again, the roof of her house fell on her, sadly on her belly. From what she said, she was stuck under the rubble for about 4 hours, and it took a further 2-3 days to airlift her to the hospital. An x-ray of the pelvis was done which showed that it was broken badly in at least 4 places. But miraculously enough, there was very minimal bleeding. Someone with pelvis fracture can bleed to death easily, and she had multiple fractures in her pelvis. Nobody can say what happened for sure, but it was thought that probably the weight of the rubble was so strong that it actually helped stop the bleeding due to the applied pressure. More miraculously enough, the baby showed no signs of injury or even stress, even though the roof fell straight on her belly, and was delivered healthily via C- section.
Infantry guy in Afghanistan in 2009. Some old guy came up to us in a bazaar and asked us to give him a ride to a city. His arm was wrapped up. We said no, since we don’t exactly do that. He unwrapped his arm. His hand/wrist was missing and his two arm bones were exposed and white. Everything else was green and black. I have no idea how he was alive, much less up and walking around.
15 years ago my mum dated a guy who had both a brain tumour and leukaemia. To treat the leukaemia they had to stop treating the brain tumour and vice versa. He was given 2 years to live, he told my mum that he needed to focus on getting his affairs in order and spend time with his kids (they’d only been dating a few months, very casually).
Saw the dude a few weeks ago, still kicking! Still has the tumour, they successfully treated the leukaemia, but now he has osteoporosis(?) and a sort of not-epilepsy(?). They found out he had brittle bone when he had a seizure and broke a lot of bones falling down. But he’s just getting on with it.
