    Walking miracle here;
    When I was 15 my forearm was cut from the wrist to the tip of my elbow, severing my inside forearm muscle in half. Lost (according to the doctor) 4.5 pints of blood. I walked in the hospital myself and watched them sow me up. All the whole the docs were repeating that they couldn't believe I was alive, much less conscious.
    When I was 17 I had a "friend" over for drinks, after finishing the bottle he used it to hit me over the back of my head knocking me out, then picked me up, carried me out to the balcony and threw me off the third story landing on my neck. Then covered me up to look like a homeless person sleeping. My brother came home a little while later and saw a guy sleeping and snoring loudly, (I was drowning on my blood due to a punctured lung) he somehow figured out it was me and called 911.
    I broke my right collar bone, sternum, all ribs on right side in 2-3 places, broke my back in 8 places, neck broken in 3, punctured and deflated lung, a concussion and contusion on right side of my brain, enough internal pressure to push my eye half out of it's socket.
    Docs told family I was either going to die, have permanent brain damage and possibly be mentally impaired for life, as well as paralyzed from my mid back down for life. I woke up the next day. Was given the docs diagnosis and said watch me walk. Stood up and walked across the room before collapsing in pain. Left the hospital 3 days later, only surgery was a tube in my lung. I'm now 33, my upper body is still completely different from side to side, but I'm very athletic, very agile and flexible, can out perform people in their late teens/20s with ease. It's all God's grace, and glory. There's been much much more, but this is already too long! God bless

    Er doctor here. I have been a doctor for 22 years. I have never once heard any doctor say something like “she will never be able to walk / wake up / recover.” We have just seen and read about too many amazing outcomes. I’m always surprised that there are so many stories that claim this. Doctors do say things like “she might not survive this” or “she might not be able to walk again” when we mean there is a 90% chance of that outcome.

      I believe you but also I encountered a doctor that claimed definitives. He convinced me to get spine surgery to correct a herniated disc, he claimed I DEFINITELY could go back to skateboarding and martial arts, and ONLY after the surgery he said that I shouldn't. Let's be clear, I came out fine, but I was so pissed with his attitude that I left him, took my files with another orthopedic doctor who was specialized with sports injuries who said "look, I'm not saying nothing can happen, but that disc can no longer herniate because it is empty. Just lower your weight and listen to your body to diminish any risk." It wasn't so much the fact that he told me I technically could, but that he didn't promis anything.

      As a nurse, I definitely know that patients will take whatever the provider says and just run with the most extreme version of it good or bad. They'll hear what they wanna hear, or, if they're a drama queen tell everyone the most tragic and dramatic interpretation of what was actually said.
      That's why I always roll my eyes whenever a patient tells me a doctor said "I'm perfectly healthy" or conversely the "Doctor said I only have 2 weeks to live".

      Glad to see someone say it.
      I was in a very ugly construction accident, and like everyone who’s ever been hurt says, I really should have died. It’s baffling that I didn’t get my spine crushed, but instead only suffered some fractures, and walked out of the ER that night.
      The doctor in the ER was totally unenthusiastic about the whole ordeal. He didn’t seem phased at all, and was honestly pretty blunt in saying that I was not special, and was just about the 1 000 000th apparent “dead man walking” he had treated. Kind of put things into perspective.

    3:30 an Uzi is nothing like a AK-47 and it isn't a .22. it is chambered I'm 9mm Parabellum or sometimes .45 acp (which has a slower firing rate than the 9mm version.) The ak-47 is chambered in 7.62x39mm and fires a LOT slower than an Uzi. The only thing he got right in the firearm is that it is Israeli and it fires at a rapid rate.

    My dad is one of these, 15 years ago he woke up super early in the morning with severe arm pain and he could just tell he was having a heart attack, he had been told to prepare for one by his doctor.
    He woke up my mom and and she rushed him to the ER, at the hospital no one believed he was having a heart attack because he walked into the emergency room.
    Later we found out he’d had The Widowmaker, which is the deadliest heart attack you can have, his Left Anterior descending artery was 99% blocked.
    Only 12% of people who have that heart attack outside of a hospital survive. We were told he would have died if she’d have waited for an ambulance.
    On top of all of that, the stent they put in was only supposed to last 10 years and he is 5 years past that and no blockages

  • @Razor-gx2dq
    @Razor-gx2dq 2 года назад +7

    Gun Nerd moment 3:35 this is wrong, the UZI and the AK are two different weapon systems. The AK being a select fire rifle chambered for 7.62x39 and tne UZI being a direct blowback sub machine gun usually chambered for 9mm. While UZIs can be chambered in .22lr the round barely recoils and even in full auto wouldn't be an issue. 9mm on the other hand would not be as controllable and would do as OP described.

    • @spectre8522

      @Norwegian_Bastard Год назад +1

      Well the IMI galil is not technically based of an AK. It is based of the receiver of a Finnish RK 62. Which in turn is based of a Polish AK-47. The galil was first adopted and chambered in 5.56, later versions were chambered for different cartridges. Like 7.62 Nato, 7.62x39 and 5.45

    I'm not a doctor but when my grandpa was 8, his appendix ruptured. He lived with a ruptured appendix for 2-3 days (don't remember exactly how long but it was definitely at least 2 days). By the time he went to the hospital, he was septic. While in the hospital, he got several serious conditions like scarlet fever and a kind of blood infection where vegetations grow on the heard valves (it's called subacute bacterial endocarditis). He also had cystic fibrosis that he was dealing with but didn't know what it was until much later in life. He wasn't supposed to ever leave the hospital except in a body bag. He lived to be 80-- ten times longer than what his lifespan was supposed to be, and twice as long as most people with cystic fibrosis (not including the numerous other conditions he had!)

    I was the patient, I was shot behind my left ear by a man who had a beef with the bot scouts because his grandfather had willed the land to the boy scouts. I woke up in a hospital 120 miles away 3 days later. The doctors were amazed that i survived because i had lain out in the woods for almost 36 hours before they found me.
    The second time was at trade school i was given 2 Acetaminophen (generic for Tylenol). I asked the nurse if it was Tylenol as i didn't recognize the tablets, she said no. I quit breathing about 15 minutes later and was life flighted to a trauma center in Seattle. That is how i found out what the generic for Tylenol is. The nurse lost her job after i had to spend 2 weeksin the ICU. The doctor said the the paramedics had to give me 6 shots of epinepherin before the helicopter got there and that i was still very unstable for 10 days.

    I was in a car accident many years ago (solo), smashed into a tree head-on. The engine was shot through the dashboard of the car where it ended on the passenger seat and the passenger seat was shoved halfway out the passenger door. The steering wheel was rammed into the driver's seat with such force that the seat got pushed back all the way to the back seat.
    I remember as I sat by the ambulance that one of the paramedics stood by the wreckage with a police officer and then came over to me and said "You have been more than just lucky. There is no way you should have survived that crash."
    Somehow I was completely fine, apart from a few cuts on my hands and one knee from shattered glass.

There was this guy at the back of the restaurant who was painting something ans had his paint water on the ground in a Tim Hortons Cup. And what did i do? I drank it. Only a year old and i almost killed myself by accident. So my parents find me in the back panicking that i drank a whole cup of toxic chemicals. So my dad picked me up, and flipped me over and slapped my back until i vomited the chemicals out. I was then taken to a hospital where i apparently stayed for 3 days while they ran tests on me with my parents wondering if im gonna survive or not.

      Also, if it was really a .22, then there is no feasible way that guy could so easily lose control due the recoil. I don't know if you've ever shot a 22 before, but with a gun as heavy as an Uzi (assuming it's chambered in .22) , you should be able to mag dump one-handed without even going off-paper.
