Better Care Recovery Act II: Dean Heller Highwater


Miracle Girl: Better Care Recovery Act II: Dean Heller Highwater

If the BCRA fails, the healthcare coverage of millions will have been saved by senators covering something else, especially the GOP's most endangered senator, Dean Heller.
Will Obamacare be saved by a senator out to save his electoral skin?

    Planen Sie ein umfassendes Disaster Recovery Konzept. Es muss regelmäßig getestet werden, um Schwachstellen zu identifizieren. Wiederanlaufübungen sind entscheidend, um die Einsatzbereitschaft sicherzustellen. Ein effektives Training in cybersecurity weiterbildung fördert dieses Wissen und verankert es im Unternehmen, besuchen Sie https://csvisor.de.

Not a miracle recovery, but a miracle of modern medicine

In 2013 I fell into a six-week coma and nearly died after I contracted legionella. The Legionnaire's disease was in turn triggered by immunosuppression caused by the prednisone I was taking for my rare autoimmune disease, dermatomyositis.

I suffered a series of strokes on both sides of my brain when the sepsis caused my blood pressure to plummet. I fell into a deep coma. My kidneys and lungs began to fail, as my body was began dying one organ at a time. My doctors told my loved ones to give up hope for my full recovery. They expected me to die, and even if I somehow lived, I would remain a vegetable or at best left so hopelessly brain-damaged that I would never be same. But unbeknownst to them, while they were shining lights in my eyes and shaking their heads, I was telling them in my coma-dream--my secular version of a near-death experience--to leave me alone because I was trying to get back to sleep. I was experiencing what is known as covert cognition, the subject of my Skeptical Inquirer article "Covert Cognition: My So-Called Near-Death Experience," which appeared in their July/August issue.

But it wasn't a miracle--despite what so many continue to believe--that I recovered so fully. I owe my life not to God, but the miracles of modern medicine, as well as the nature of the watershed-area brain damage I suffered, as I detailed in my article and in this blog.
