Here are five of the most incredible survival stories I've come across during my career in medicine. Phineas Gage survived a tampering iron that passed through his head. Aron Ralston survived having removed his own arm to escape a bouldering that trapped him in a canyon. Julianne Koepcke survived after she fell out of an airplane and crashed into the Amazon jungle. Michael Cassidy survived an accident on his motorcycle thanks to groundbreaking balloon technology. Loenid Rogozov survived after he performed an appendectomy on himself. Let me know down below if there are more stories of survival I should take a look at!
