Unbelievable Survivals: 70 Patients Defied All Odds Against Grim Medical Diagnoses
Not a doctor, but the patient.
Less than a year old, started seizing. This led to a severe case of the Not Breathing, quickly followed by everyone s******g themselves trying to get me to breathe. Two frantic rides to the hospitals later (first one couldn’t take me because they didn’t have machines for someone so small), and now they’ve got machines keeping me alive. Several surgeries solely reacting to more s**t going wrong, a month (half of which spent in a coma), and I woke up on my own. Didn’t even need the machines anymore. Only lasting effect is a small scar from a machine they left on for too long, and asthma for about five years.
They never figured out what the hell happened. So, there’s a chance that it could happen again some day.
Here’s hoping for the same luck that got me through it the first time.
Not a doctor, but my dad survived diabetic ketoacidosis, massive heart attack and kidney failure. Doctors told us to prepare for his death, we called in the priest, brought all the family in. He was on life support for a week and kept on improving. They gradually brought him out of it, when he came to he ripped out his tubes. The doctor who prepared us for his passing came back from vacation and saw my dad alive and recovering and said : “you are the last person I thought to see again.” My dad blinked and asked, “who is that?” He’s still alive.
Guy was running from the cops in his car. Went off road and crashed the car. Ran on foot. Police were closing in so he sliced his neck on both sides with a razor blade to avoid arrest. He didn’t hit any major arteries and lived. Then I got to sew his neck wounds shut. I don’t think he got in trouble either – just wound up at an inpatient psych ward for a while.
Don’t do m**h kids .
