Medicine is constantly evolving, which gives doctors the opportunity to save more and more lives. There are several cases in history that can be called miraculously. They are about how people managed to survive in extremely difficult situations, despite the skepticism of others.

1. A spider who saved a paralyzed person

David Blankart after the accident on a motorcycle was paralyzed, so for 20 years he had to move in a wheelchair. Once he was bitten by one of the most dangerous arthropods in the world - a brown hermit spider. After that, David went to the hospital, where he underwent physiotherapy. During the procedure, the nurse saw a spasm in the leg of a man, so he was assigned several additional tests. A miracle happened five days later, and Blankart began to walk.

2. Body on metal rods

Young girl Katrina Burgess was in a car accident, and her car, riding more than 100 km / h, was in a ditch. As a result, she broke her neck, back and ribs, and the pelvis was damaged, and many other serious injuries and wounds were inflicted.

The doctors literally collected Katrina's body as a designer. First, a rod was inserted into the left hip from the foot to the knee, four titanium studs held it. In addition, 10 more rods were implanted. Only a week later the titanium screw fastened its neck to the spine. Katrina was able to stop taking painkillers five months after the accident. After all the tests the girl not only survived, but also became a model.

3. The key in the eye

Children in childhood are very curious, so they try to grasp everything that comes to their eyes with their pens. A terrible incident occurred with Nicholas Holderman, who was only 17 months old. During the game with the brothers due to his own imprudence, he fell on a bunch of keys, and one of them stuck in his eye. The parents were in shock and tried to deliver the child to the hospital as quickly as possible. Doctors conducted an emergency operation, and then six days of treatment in the clinic followed. Three months later, Nicholas's vision was completely restored.

4. Fell from height and survived

Window washers daily risk their lives, and the example of Alcides Moreno, who in 2007 fell from the 47th floor, and this is 150 meters. The tragedy happened not only with Alcides, but also with his brother, who died on the spot. Moreno was lucky, because he was hooked on a platform of aluminum.

The worker received many injuries, for example, he had a collapse of lungs and clots in the brain. Sixteen operations were carried out, and six months later he took the first step. For comparison, it should be said that statistics show that 50% of people falling from the 4th floor die, from the 10th - this figure is 100%, what to speak of the 47th ...

5. The magnet helped to exit the coma

A huge number of people are seriously injured incompatible with life. An example is the story of José Villa, who, after the disaster, was in a coma for three whole years. Doctors pulled him out of this state with a TMS device (Transcranial magnetic stimulation). It acts like this: an electromagnetic ring is placed on the patient's skull, which forms a magnetic field, and it already stimulates the brain. The magnet sends discharges to a specific area of ​​the brain, which gives it a signal that it is necessary to return to normal operation.

Before this technique was used to combat depression, migraines, the consequences of strokes and other problems. The villa came to life after exactly 15 sessions had been conducted. For unknown reasons, after the 30th session, the condition of the man worsened, so the treatment of TMS was stopped. Villa could not return to normal life, but he was not in a coma, he could talk and express emotions.

6. Resurrection from the dead

A unique case was recorded in America and it occurred with a 59-year-old woman Val Thomas. She survived two heart attacks, as a result of which for 17 hours she did not record waves of electromagnetic radiation from the brain and pulse. As a result, even rigor mortis began. The work of the organs was supported by an artificial respiration apparatus, and the doctors thought about where to get organs for transplantation. Without any intervention, Val came to her senses and began to talk. When the doctors conducted the survey, they found that the woman was okay.

7. Became a mother in 70 years

For many years, Razhaw Davy and her husband Bala Ram could not have children. A unique event occurred when a woman turned 70 - she became a mother. This became possible thanks to modern medicine and the technology of artificial fertilization of an ovum outside the woman's body. For this, the "intra cytoplasmic sperm injection" technique was used, which increases the chance of fertilization in the case of low-quality sperm. Doctors were faced with many problems, but they managed to carry out the plan, and eventually Razo Davy became the most adult mother who gave birth to her first child.

8. Metal rod in the head

A real miracle is a case recorded in the XIX century, which helped physicians of that time to understand how brain traumas can influence the physical and psychological state of a person. In 1848 Phineas Gage worked on a railway where an explosion occurred, which resulted in a metal rod longer than 1 m through his skull. Surprisingly, the doctors were able to remove the rod and save the life of the man, although he had paralysis of the left side of his face and certain mental changes were observed.

9. Removal of extra hands and feet

In an Indian village, an unusual girl appeared who had four arms and legs. People thought that it was a gift from God, and gave it the name of the Indian goddess of wealth - Lakshmi. Doctors conducted research and determined that in fact the woman was pregnant with twins, and the second fruit did not develop completely and grew together with the body of Lakshmi.

A unique operation was performed, which lasted for 27 hours. As a result, surgeons separated limbs, removed the extra kidneys and fused spine twins. In addition, the position of the genitals, bladder and pelvis was adjusted. Three months passed and the girl was able to make her first step, though with the use of walkers.

10. Vision was helped by a tooth

While working at the construction site, Martin Jones was injured due to an accident, which caused him to remain blind for 12 years. The doctors performed a unique operation, and helped to restore the man's sight. The procedure involved removing the tooth and using it as a lens holder. It is difficult to imagine, but the doctors inserted his own tooth into Martin's eye, which provided an almost perfect vision of the right eye.

11. Salvation after decapitation

As a result of the terrible accident that occurred in January 2007, Shannon Malloy suffered serious injuries. As a result, her skull was separated from the spine, which was not injured. In medicine, this trauma is called "internal decapitation". It is interesting that the woman herself remembers this feeling when she could not control her head. Shannon was taken to a hospital where she was installed with a "halo" device that kept her head in place and twisted nine screws into her neck. A woman's injury caused many problems, for example, damage to the optic nerve and swallowing problems, but after a while she was able to recover.

12. Treatment with superglue

After birth, Ella Grace Hanimen discovered a rare disease of the blood vessels. With this problem, blood is able to leak to the brain due to the presence of holes in the vessels. To save the girl's life, doctors used a special medical superglue, with which they closed the holes.

13. Life without a Heart

Unfortunately, many children have heart problems. A 14-year-old D'Janna Simmons had an enlarged and weak heart, so she needed an urgent transplant. It was held, but the terrible thing happened - the organ did not get accustomed. As a result, the girl had to live without a heart for four months. The role of the main organ was performed by two artificial blood pumps. Simmons was able to pass all the tests and survive. The second transplant was successful and the girl recovered.

14. The Miraculous Survival of the Twins

One of the most horrific situations in a woman's life is to hear that something is wrong with her child, whom she carries under her heart. In this situation, there was a pair of Shannon and Michael Gimbel, who was informed that one of the twins should be killed to save another.

Doctors found a rare disease in children - a syndrome of feto-fetal transfusion, in which children are connected by blood vessels, which leads to the fact that one child takes life from another. If you leave both children alive, the risk of their death after birth is 90%. The couple had already made a decision about the terrible victim, but the doctors decided to conduct a unique operation, as a result of which the blood vessels connecting the children were separated by a laser. Fortunately, two healthy girls appeared two months later.

15. The accident that deprived half of the body

The most terrible tragedy happened in 1995 with a man named Peng Shuylin. He got under a truck that cut his body in half. As a result, the growth of the remainder was 66 cm. Doctors conducted several unique operations, saving his life, which is impossible not to be surprised. The rest of the body was transplanted from the face. For Shuylin, special prostheses with bionic legs were developed. Peng is constantly working on strengthening the upper body to walk on prostheses and not to fall.
