A Number Of Documented Medical Miracle Stories

By Georgia Diaz


Medical miracle stories are easily heard of. Though they may vary they are made common by their ability to astound. Some seem too drastic with no hope of recovery. In the end however, the victims get unexpectedly well. Documented here are some cases that were experienced by a few individuals.

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.

There is also a story of this teenage girl who was involved in an accident. The vehicle she was traveling in was at 70mph when it happened. She received severe injuries including several broken bones. After she underwent numerous surgeries involving the use of various rods to hold her together she got well. In fact she went ahead and took up modeling five months after the accident and was no longer in need of painkillers.

A fourteen year old known as DZhana Simmons also had an amazing story. She needed a heart transplant which unfortunately failed. As she was on a waiting list for another, doctors had to use pumps to supply her body with blood. This was for about 118 days until finally a new heart was found for her. Her recovery was so first she was able to have a kidney transplant a day after the heart transplant.

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.

Then there is the case of the twins suffering from Twin-To-Twin Syndrome. Their parents were to choose which twin to terminate so as to give the other a chance at life. Some doctors however asked to try a laser surgery to help cauterize their vessel. The procedure was a success and they both lived.

An accident left one Jordan Taylor with a serious injury. His head decapitated the skull from the vertebrae. The doctors estimated chances of survival as at one percent. After many prayers from his family and a leap of faith by the doctors, they managed to re attach the severed part. His too was a success story and he has been able to lead a normal life.

One can not mention medical miracle stories without talking of David Blancarte. After being in a motorcycle accident he lost the use of his legs. He lived this way for about twenty years and was hospitalized for eight months. However when he healed, he was able to regain the use of his legs once more.
