23 Doctors Had Patients That Miraculously Survived The Impossible

Had a guy walk up to the front desk after hitting himself in the throat with a chainsaw. All the flesh of his neck was flayed open. I could see his trachea and his right jugular vein. If he had cut in just a tiny bit deeper, he would have sliced right into both. The only thing that saved him was that he was a big fat guy with a huge neck. A skinnier man would have died very unpleasantly.

A guy came in happily complaining about a sore on his belly that wouldn’t heal. He was really pleasant and didn’t seem to be in much pain. When he lifted his shirt, we could see his liver.

This guy came in having been in a car accident; he was covered in road rash and his chest was more or less torn open. Apparently, as we all later learned, he’d been drinking and riding passenger in his friend’s car. He wanted out of the car, his friend said no, so this guy (once again, very drunk) decided to try and jump out of the car window. He somewhat succeeded, but his shirt caught on the side view mirror and he got dragged until the driver stopped flipping out enough to come to his senses and stop.

Responded to a well being check (basically check on someone no one has heard from in a while). Get there and police advise the woman is dead and appeared to be so for a while (middle of summer). Can smell her before getting close to house, put on protective gear and airpacks to move the body. She is rotting, maggots and flies, can see organs. We go to carefully move her into body bag and she opens her eyes and gasps. She was alive and rotting alive, we got her to the hospital alive and she lived for several days more.
