Unbelievable Survivals: 70 Patients Defied All Odds Against Grim Medical Diagnoses
Man walks out of this and has normal life.
Man is walking around minding his own business.
Building explodes. Shrapnel flies.
Shrapnel hits man, exactly where the burr hole was, travels through his brain and gets lodged behind his eye.
Man still alive.
It baffles me that of all the people who could have been hit by shrapnel it happened to a guy with a missing skull part and it hit him exactly where it was missing. It baffles me even more that he survived all of this.
Not a doctor. My grandpa though. Stepped on a landmine which resulted in lost fingers and stitches in his lower arm that were done with toothpicks. Was made to run for miles in the n**e as a prisoner of war with these injuries, all while hiding a journal in which he recounted all of these stories. Also was shot in the head and survived with no brain damage. There are other things that I can’t remember anymore, but he was tough as nails. When I was 7 or 8 (he was in his eighties) he used to outrun me in a race with no issues. A year later, f*****g cancer. He went from gardening and carrying bags of soil to his deathbed in two weeks.
Patient has a horrible lung infection from a chronic illness. Antibiotics are not working and he continues to become septic. All other sources of infection are ruled out, and the team is confident that his blood infection is coming from his lungs.
Now the patient is also on the lung transplant list because of his chronic illness. So, the team decides to remove his lungs, without a confirmed donor, and anastomose his pulmonary arteries to his pulmonary veins.
