Doctors marvel at miner

By Allison M. Heinrichs TRIBUNE-REVIEW Friday, March 31, 2006

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. -- The sole survivor of the Sago Mine explosion left a West Virginia rehabilitation center on Thursday as a medical miracle, and doctors vowed to learn from his rapid and unexpected recovery. "It's basically almost like he's resurrected," said Dr. Russell Biundo

Well, at least we now know it wasn't because of prayer. /sarc

May God continue to bless him and his family. These hard working West Virginia miners are the salt of the earth.

There are many things about the times we live in that are despicable, but when faith combines with modern medical science wonderful things do happen.

I saw McCloy on the news last night and could not believe the extent to which he had recovered.

Really, lol!

Seriously though I think that doctors don't know everything. Look at the Terri Schiavo case. If doctors, the judge, and michael Schiavo gave Terri the therpay she needed she might have actually proven that people can get better.

This kid could have had the same fat if his wife decided she didn't want him to recieve treatment. Heck, she could have said he was just a vegetable and doctors could have said no hope, but i guess when someone loves you and takes care of you doctors can be very surprised at the outcome that people can come back from the worst on injuries!

The good old days weren't perfect. I think the difference now is that evil comes with the endorsement of more than the lunatic fringe of liberalism - abortion, euthanasia, pedophilia, communism, Islamic "freedom fighters" - extreme barf alert . . .

Calling good evil and evil good seems to me to be pretty prevalent these days.

You must have read that same aricle that I did yesterday.

Cordially,

The scientific short brains who attempted to find out whether prayer works by their own experimentation ought to take a clue from this case and say it doesn't.

Bet there's a whole town that would say the opposite.

Today, March 31, is the first anniversary of the death of Terri Schiavo by judge Greer's ban on any therapy. What shall we call it? Fulfilling her wishes? Murder?
