Unbelievable Survivals: 70 Patients Defied All Odds Against Grim Medical Diagnoses
Again, not a doctor here, but apparently that’s not even high enough to have a pulse. They had no clue how I was walking let alone concious, but saw the numbers and after realizing it was accurate they freaked the hell out. And of course that freaked my mom out. Them telling my mom 30/15 is the BP of a dead person did not help. And then they said it’s either auto immune or cancer. My immune system apparently ate my adrenal glands, now I’m on meds for life, lucky me.
On the bright side though I never really have to worry about high blood pressure.
Not a doctor but a student nurse. I had a patient come into the psych ward from the emergency department after he had cut off his own right arm from the elbow down. With a f*****g chainsaw. He only survived because he apparently had some kind of rare clotting disorder that prevented him from bleeding to death. He was severely schizophrenic and believed that his arm was going to grow back.
Edit: I didn’t expect this to blow up the way it did. I love this story because my dad was a psychiatrist, and I finally have something way weirder than any of the tales of his profession he ever told. Happy y’all found it as interesting as I did!
Two that stick out.
Guy gets shot in the abdomen, drops to his knees; shooter puts one through the top of his head near his forehead. Bullet exits through his jaw. He wouldn’t stop complaining…about how much he hates that the guy who shot him.
