This is the difference in perspective.I wouldn't even need that. I would accept much less of a Cecil B DeMill production where after a mass prayer to whatever God of choice amputees worldwide would all start to regrow limbs. Let Drs and Scientists monitor their progress, scan and test as warranted. Let the scientific and medical community concur that there is no natural explanation.
That would do it for me.
On the other hand, what happened to the Bills player is an impressive combination of having all the right medical personell in place to perform the right procedures on a human who is young and in top physical condition. Time, skill, procedure, youth, healthy all played important roles. A miracle would have been that he had expired and hours after no brain or organ functions he revives and pops up as if nothing at all happened to him and he is on the field this week.
I absolutely thought it was a nice sight to see the teams, players and people across the world come together and pray that day for Hamlin and all the times afterwards. But I also thought that with all of the diversity between individuals were they all praying to the same God?
Wifes a cardiac critical care RN, death is a too frequent visitor.
Several times she’s told me of patients out of options. Death is just a matter of how long it takes their particular body to fail. The hospital offers counseling and the hospital chaplain for the family to begin deal with the loss of their loved one. Some families begin to make this transition waiting on their loved one to pass. Others will not acknowledge the inevitable until their loved one passes.
Then there’s the families who don’t give up, pray for Gods intervention everyday even though informed of what’s coming. There is no medical solution, no path forward. Treatments end and comfort care begins. A tiny number of these defy the odds. They begin to recover or go into remission. There is absolutely no medical reason this occurs. Drs can’t explain why as it doesn’t make medical sense, they don’t know how long they live as their existence defies all medical knowledge. A miracle, that’s for each of us to decide. When it happens it will tug at the heart of the coolest individual.
