A Number Of Documented Medical Miracle Stories

By Georgia Diaz


Medical miracle stories are not that unheard of. And they range in their severity bordering on the bizarre. In most cases the fatality of each case had zero chances of survival. But somehow the victims have received a second chance at life. Below are a number of cases that have been recorded in the recent past.

One story is about a window washer known as Alcides Moreno age 37. This happened as he and his brother were cleaning a skyscraper in New York. Although his brother died in the accident, he survived the forty seven story fall. His doctors were afraid of moving him when he arrived at the emergency room that he had to be operated on there. He was left in a vegetative state for about three weeks only for him to gain consciousness on Christmas day.

A teenage girl also wrote a medical history after being in an accident. The vehicle she was on was traveling at around 70mph when the accident happened. She came out alive having suffered multiple injuries to her body. After numerous surgeries the doctors managed to hold her body together with about eleven metal rods at different locations. After only five months she was well to the point of modeling. She was able to do this without the need to take painkillers to relieve her.

An amazing story is that of DZhana Simmons, a fourteen year old girl. After a failed heart transplant, she had to wait for about 118 days for another heart. All this while doctors had to use two pumps to supply her body with blood. She however had such a success with the new heart such that she was able to receive a kidney transplant the very next day.

Martin Jones a builder lost his eyesight after an industrial accident. But after a unique surgery performed only a few times in Britain he was able to regain sight. It involves taking out part of a tooth and some skin from inside the mouth and placing it in the eye for some time until it regains blood supply. The procedure enabled Mr. Jones to see for the first time his wife of four years.

Two parents, Mike and Shannon Gimbel were agonizing over what choice to make. Their doctors had told them that they had to choose which baby to save from their unborn twins. They suffered a rare condition known as Twin-To-Twin Syndrome. This is where failure to terminate one may lead to the death of both or one of them. However after some special laser surgery to cauterize their blood vessels and enable them to lead independent lives they were able to make it alive.

Jordan Taylor was involved in an accident that decapitated his skull from the vertebrae. This severed any connection between the bones of his neck and head. His chances of survival were minimized to only one percent. But after much prayers and a surgery he was able to fully recover and is leading a normal life.

To summarize this collection of Medical miracle stories is a paraplegic man named David Blancarte. He was involved in a motorcycle accident that confined him in a wheel chair for twenty years. One day he suffered a bite from a brown recluse spider. This incident made him get hospitalized for eight months. On recovery he regained use of his feet.
