Unbelievable Survivals: 70 Patients Defied All Odds Against Grim Medical Diagnoses
Not really a “how the f**k is this person still alive,” but more of a “how the f**k did this person live this long with this condition.”.
Work in a hospital. A guy showed up who had burst a tyre going 180 km/h and flipped his car multiple times. His car was a write off. The only injuries he got were a few scratches and a bruise.
Edit: thanks for Internet points. No I don’t know what car he was driving.
An unlucky/lucky guy forgot his keys and was climbing back into his own apartment through the window. His cousin/friend thought that he was an intruder and pointed a gun at him and pulled the trigger as the unlucky/lucky guy opened his mouth to say “don’t shoot”. The bullet went into his mouth and clean exited the back of his neck. After surgery, he was totally fine in a few days, somehow missed all major structures. Didn’t even chip a tooth. Really pissed at his cousin. (From my neurosurgery rotation in med school)
(edit: I didn’t delve into why, but for some reason the patient didn’t know that his friend/cousin was in the patient’s apartment, and the patient assumed that he was locked out.)
I’m not a doctor but I was diagnosed with Addison’s at age 13 or so. Was just generally feeling lethargic, vomiting, dizzy. Mom calls the hospital with symptoms and they said if I had all three at the same time to come in to be safe
Orderly or whatever checks my pulse in the lobby. 30/15, he laughs “well this one’s broken” and gets another machine. 30/15 “wait… What?!” Calls a doctor, they double check it and RUN me to the ER for fluids.
