Modern medicine is truly amazing, but it can only go so far…usually. Injuries, illnesses, and conditions all come with a percentage attached to them, which signifies the likelihood that someone will survive them. A fall from 500 feet, for example, has around a 99.99999% mortality rate. But that’s not 100%. So what about all the tiny fraction-of-a-percent cases where someone pulls through against all odds? Those are referred to as miracles. They might not be common, but, based on the stories below, they do happen.
1.) A man survives a steel rod through the head in 1848
2.) A football player walks after a devastating spinal injury
3.) A teen survives without a heart
4.) A teen’s body is held together with pins
5.) A woman survives being decapitated
6.) Electrodes wake a man after 6 years
After a near-fatal accident, a man was left in a vegetative state for six years, unable to communicate, swallow, or make coordinated movements. One day, in sort of a last-ditch effort, doctors attached electrodes to his thalamus, which manages sensory perception and regulates motor function. That was apparently the kickstart the man needed; after the procedure, he was able to talk, feed himself, and communicate with his family.
7.) Twins both survive after parents are forced to choose just one
8.) A man survives a 500-foot fall
9.) A man’s sight is restored thanks to a tooth
10.) A girl’s brain is stabilized with superglue
You probably shouldn’t completely rely on the instance of a miracle. However, there’s always a chance, no matter how slim, that something truly amazing can happen. What’s more, these miracles can also help doctors better understand the workings of the human body and of diseases, making miracles like these a little more common for future generations.
