Most of our patients get post-op infections. It's a fact of life. In Tchad, if you get a paper cut and don't soak it in alcohol several times a day, it will get infected.
We have a patient who was in a house fire. Her buttocks, lower back and thighs suffered 3rd degree burns. She came to us 6 weeks after the fire, clearly in a lot of pain, but somehow not infected. Not septic. Not dying.
We did 2 small skin grafts on her, and they took beautifully. It covers only a tiny portion of her burns, but it's progress. Her back has some granulating tissue. Incredibly and against all odds, she is healing.
If that's not a miracle, I don't know what is.
