...buuut not so much when you google "skepticism".

I just googled "skepticism". It gave me 11,800,000 hits.

As for your personal experience with medical miracles: I've said it before and I'll say it again. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. While discussing these sorts of things on the internet, I've talked with with people who claim to have experienced miraculous healing, telepathy, knowledge of past lives, dowsing, and alien abduction...and yet when investigated, these sorts of claims vanish like a puddle on a hot day.

In the absence of rigorous documentation, there's simply no reason to believe such things.

ahhhh, so nevermind I actually experienced it first hand, unless pencil meets paper it just didn’t happen.

I’ll bring that up to the attending doc next time I see her, and tell her it was all a mirage! LOL!

(And perhaps she can call the other 2-3 docs SHE called to the unit for a look-see and explain to them it was all a mirage and so on too.)

Oh, and by the way, how many hits do you get when you pull up UFO? What does # of hits have to do with the price of eggs in China?

Additionally, this particular incident IS well documented. This guy’s medical records meticulously reflect his intake and output, observations, time, etc. etc. etc.
