These dramatic first-person essays detail spectacular serendipities, impossible cures, breathtaking resuscitations, extraordinary awakenings, and recovery from unimaginable disasters. Still other essays give voice to cases in which the physical aspects were less dramatic than the emotional aspects, yet miraculous and transformational for everyone involved. Positive impacts left in the wake of even the gravest of tragedies, profound triumphs of heart and spirit. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePreeminent physicians in many specialties, including deans and department heads on the faculties of the top university medical schools in the country describe, in everyday language and with moving testimony, their very personal reactions to these remarkable clinical experiences. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAmong the extraordinary cases poignantly recounted by the physicians witnessing them: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA priest visiting a hospitalized patient went into cardiac arrest on the elevator, which opened up on the cardiac floor, right at the foot of the cardiac specialist, at just the right moment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA tiny premature baby dying from irreversible lung disease despite the most intensive care who recovered almost immediately after being taken from his hospital bed and placed on his mother's chest. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePresident John F.
