In 2019, Loren Schauers was ‘cut in half’ after a forklift fell from 50ft and landed on him. His injuries were horrific. He lost both legs and part of his right arm.

Loren ultimately required a hemicorporectomy, a life-saving procedure that necessitated the amputation of the lower half of his body and one arm.

Loren's path to recovery was long and arduous, involving numerous treatments.

Among these was a faecal transplant, a procedure where donor feces is introduced into the body to promote the growth of beneficial gut bacteria.

In 2012, Scottish saturation deep sea diver Chris Lemons was stranded 300 ft
underwater when his tether snapped, severing his lifeline for air, heat, and
communication.

His only hope was a tiny emergency tank with barely five minutes of oxygen.

For nearly 30 minutes, he lay unconscious on the seabed in freezing darkness,
without any real air supply.

When his colleagues finally reached him, they were certain he was dead. However,
Chris was somehow alive.

Despite the extreme cold, lack of oxygen, and expected brain damage, he made a
full recovery and returned to work weeks later.

Experts remain baffled, citing a mix of high‑oxygen preparation, the chilling
water lowering his metabolism...
