Go to the story of Thurman Scrivner, You need real one player to play it. You have to save the files, not open them to directly view for some reason.
The girl was in a car accident and brain was severd from her stem, and her eyes were disconnected as well. She also had broken limbs, shattered face and needed a stomach pump to be fed.
Is it medically possible to make a full 100% recovery with no surgery?
Thanks
David

NOPE!!! All information for bodily function comes from the brain, and the most important pass through the spinal cord. For example, impulses to the diaphragm (important for breathing) come from the brain and pass through the spinal cord through cervical nerves 3,4, and 5. If the connection and pathway were disconnected, the patient would just stop breathing. That alone would tell you that it is not possible.

Highly, highly unlikely, but nothing is impossible in science. Depending on the distance in which the severed nerves had been from each other, it is THEORETICALLY possible for the nerves to grow back together. The body is an amazing thing. I wouldn't discount the possibility, odder things have happened, but i'm 99.99% sure it's unlikely.
On a side note, this story seems to a lot of mumbo jumbo, i can't seem to find this person mentioned in any scientific or medical article. It seems like if the case was a medical miracle, it would have been written about somewhere other than lots of webpages relating religious rhetoric. just my two cents.

Unless she receives immediate (within 5 minutes) medical attention right after the accident she would immediately die from lack of oxygen as her muscles for breathing would be paralyzed from the spinal cord transection. 100% recovery???-NO WAY!
But her other injuries like broken limbs and shattered face would heal to some extent without surgery.......

Without surgery? Highly unlikely..but not impossible.
The odds would be millions to 1 chance of anyone surviving such a scenario..and then recovering fully without expert intervention.
But TRUTH is stranger than fiction..
