Here are five of the most incredible survival stories I've come across during my career in medicine. Phineas Gage survived a tampering iron that passed through his head. Aron Ralston survived having removed his own arm to escape a bouldering that trapped him in a canyon. Julianne Koepcke survived after she fell out of an airplane and crashed into the Amazon jungle. Michael Cassidy survived an accident on his motorcycle thanks to groundbreaking balloon technology. Loenid Rogozov survived after he performed an appendectomy on himself. Let me know down below if there are more stories of survival I should take a look at!

*Just a note on the first case:* Juliane's parents were biologists working in the jungle, she had been home schooled for most of her life, learning to live in the jungle. Her knowledge about the jungle was what saved her. *EDIT:* To all of you discussing religion, could you *please tag the person* you're directing your comment towards?

After my brother left home he got into the habit of snowboarding and he always went by himself. The trails themselves were populated enough that if something happened someone would notice, but the icy roads up and down the mountain driving to and from his house? Not as likely for someone to notice in a timely manner. So he got into the habit of calling us at home and just chatting the whole time he was driving, so we'd know immediately if something happened. Not entirely sure what we would've done about it from the other side of the country tho...

Mike, have you ever heard of Anatoli Bugorski? He's a retired particle physicist, and in 1978, he was working in the Soviet Union's largest particle accelerator, when the safety mechanisms failed. He took a proton beam through his brain and decided to *not* tell anyone about it until after he finished his task. He ended up deaf in his left ear, lost movement in that side of his face, and suffered seizures, but lost very little of his mental capability, and continued his studies, earning his PhD.

The russian doctor who removed his own appendix is fascinating. I almost died last year when mine actually burst, it went beyond appendicitis to full on peritonitis. If I'd gone to the hospital a day later I wouldn't have survived. Never known pain like it, I'm 35 now and I genuinely wanted my mom. That's how painful it is, if anyone here suspects they might have appendicitis please GET TO A HOSPITAL!!! Don't delay it like I did, it's the difference between a couple of days recovery from keyhole surgery or major open surgery that will keep you off your feet for at least a month. You couldn't pay me to go through that pain and misery again... thank you to our glorious NHS for saving my life that night. But this guy removing his own appendix is both fascinating and insane. It's awe inspiring
@triforce_majora Рік тому
So glad you caught it before it was fatal! I had appendicitis a couple months ago, and I didn't have severe symptoms. I had some pain in my lower right abdomen and severe bloating that wouldn't go away. When it didn't get better after 24 hours I made the executive decision to go to the ER because it didn't feel like anything I'd ever had before. Apparently I caught it super early. I always tell people to err on the side of caution if something feels off and to always pay attention to abdominal pain that doesn't present like menstrual cramps or indigestion.

I had a friend have appendicitis one night while at a sleepover for his birthday. Fortunately his mom was an RN so when he went to her complaining of the pain she was able to ask the right questions about his pain and realized that she needed to immediately take him to the hospital. It was weird how fast it all happened. One moment we were asleep and it felt like the next moment my friend and his parents were gone leaving us, his friends, alone in the house left to just wait lol... But it made appendicitis one of those things I'm now paranoid of experiencing, between the pain he showed and his mom panicking so much and saying that they had to go right away because it could be fatal.

As she carried it outside, the bat bit her. Not knowing she had contracted the disease, Jeanna lived her life as normal until her symptoms showed up and she got diagnosed.

Someone actually survived an even bigger fall without a parachute than Juliane. Vesna Vulović, a Serbian (then Yugoslav) flight attendant survived a fall from 33,330 ft after a briefcase bomb exploded on JAT Flight 367 on January 26th, 1972. She spent days in a coma and was hospitalised for numerous months. She suffered a fractured skull, three broken vertebrae, broken legs, broken ribs, and a fractured pelvis. She was temporarily paralyzed from the waist down because of the injuries. She made a full recovery but walked with a limp. She apparently had no memories of anything. She basically became a celebrity in Yugoslavia and was considered a hero. Her final years were spent in seclusion and she struggled with survivor guilt. After divorcing, she lived alone in Belgrade in her apartment on a small pension until she passed away on December 23rd, 2016 from unknown causes. She still holds the Guinness record for the highest fall someone has survived.

I've heard of most of these except for the doctor that performed surgery on himself! That might be the craziest survival story that I have ever heard EVER. On another note, one story I heard that is similar to the last one is the story of Truman Duncan, who was run over by a train and lived. His body was nearly cut in half and pelvis shattered, but he was still able to call 911 and stay conscious until emergency services came. He lost almost half his blood before they could lift the train car to free him and take him to hospital. Last I heard, he is still very much alive and in a wheelchair
@callummclachlan4771 Рік тому
That also reminds me of Alex Zanardi. Racing in CART (basically Indycar) and the front end was ripped off in a crash, where his legs were. Don't think I need to explain further. Lost 75% of his blood, but he still survived and was back racing two years later with modified controls. Now he's an Olympic level paracyclist. Despite another setback which put him in a coma.

She was 5 mo pregnant. Originally they didn't think either of us would survive. Not only did she survive and relearn to walk but she's in great health, worked a full career as a teacher until her retirement, had 3 more kids and is a super active bubbie.

He had no symptoms, but donating blood pushed him to go to the doctor and get to the bottom of his abnormal bloodwork.

I'm an AB+ blood type. As a kid I had lots of medical issues and had to have TONS of blood draws, IVs, and ultimately a Picc line. I had very difficult veins and as a result was terrified of needles. I decided my fear was unhealthy and I needed to find a way to concur my fear so I started donating blood. Around that time my Aunt was murdered but they were able to save some of her organs and help several people through Organ Donation. This strongly affected me and I doubled down on blood donation to help others. I was approached by the blood Donation center because of my blood type being the universal plasma Donor and a significant shortage of plasma to consider plasma Donation. I agreed and went every 2 weeks for quite a while! I mostly concurred my fear of needles and in the process helped a lot of people! Unfortunately this year has been difficult health wise and I haven't been able to give. I really hoping to get back into it as soon as I'm physically healthy enough to!

Similar to this, there's a case of a British girl who literally doesn't have the mental capacity to feel fear. She's been hit by cars a lot because of this (no sense of fear around walking into roads) and because she doesn't feel fear, her body doesn't tense up. She has survived all of these with only minor injuries because her body goes limp. It kind of makes me think that the safety mechanisms that have evolved into the human body can actually make things worse because these mechanisms weren't developed for surviving our modern world.

I also encourage you if you’re interested to get your platelet count tested when you go to donate to see if you’re a good candidate for platelets like I was or if you meet the criteria you could also give double reds every four months instead of every two like with whole blood. Unfortunately despite a great platelet count I can only give whole blood every 56 days because my body doesn’t like receiving the fluids back from the aphaeresis machine and I infiltrate on the return so both platelets and double reds are out of the question for me but I did try really hard to at least make the effort to do so and at least I can still give whole blood so it’s better than nothing!
