If I'm not a Christian, why would I consider it a miracle?
Spontaneous remissions and healthy turns after poor prognoses aren't terribly uncommon, regardless of belief. However, despair is very unhealthy, and a despairing person is less likely to recover. Religion gives hope, hope staves off despair.
Simply put, if the recovered person is religious, it's deemed a miracle. If not religious, it's deemed a statistically unlikely but nonetheless absolutely possible outcome.

Yeah, the doctor once told me that I had 15 minutes to live, but I didn't die. Then my broken arm healed spontaneously after I prayed for a while, and I lost the extra 75 pounds I was carrying after I tithed for a year. I was blind, but a priest touched my eyelids and then I could see, and my autistic child miraculously called me "daddy" when I asked Jesus to heal him.
How 'bout those stories? Pretty good ones, hey? Oh, wait, I forgot to say that all of the modern scientific doctors told me that there was no hope.
What other lines am I supposed to put in there? I can never remember...

No.
And neither do christians either. Oh sure they have plenty of lies and made up BS stories but when you start looking at the facts of the case, there is no substance to the claims at all.
The next credible story about a "miracle" will be the first. In history.

Many non Christians have had medical miracles. i know a lot of people that beacme christians becasue of the miracles that occur with them or family members. my church has been filling up drastically these past few weeks of many non christians who have converted to christianity one who just came about to weeks ago the whole family converted because their grandmother was cured from cancer in the hospital when she got prayed for from someone in our church. I got healed from my infection that i had since childhood that no doctor had ever been able to cure. Theres a woman in our curch that was blind from one eye and got her sight back. theres another who was paralyzed from waiste down and was never to walk again and she has begun to take steps. these miracles do occur and they are real wether you believe in "the facts" or not their are happening all around me in my church the holy spirit has been moving very strongly among us.

I was in the hospital and I knew i was dying and i refused to call the doctor because i wanted to die and was tired of living and suddenly i felt as if i was floating then i heard a voice say "you knew you were in trouble why didn't you call on me" It scarred me at first, but i couldn't say anything because I didn't know what to say and i knew i was wrong for wanting to die. Then the voice gave me instructions on how to save my life. I have always talked to God but I never heard him til that day. Then later on a person who was a christian told me he prayed and asked God to save my life. I never told him what happened.

it must be a sad world mr yoda lives in. he seems to believe in nothing but himself.
and i'm going to add a medical miracle here because God did save someone in my family from death. my relative OD'd on pills and i mean Really OD'd. he took 30 zantax's and a hand full of sleeping pills. its like flipping a coin to think like an atheist in times like that. do you guys cry or do you secretly pray? well i prayed And cried the whole time and the whole way it took for him to fly from one hospital to a better one. and God saved Him. period. Amen.

The point isn't if there is a story. We should be looking for facts.

Sorry to say this, but, even if they did, they wouldn't say so. They would have no "scientific" way to explain it.
