UM-Bot Posted February 12, 2020 #1 Share Posted February 12, 2020 A blind Polish man made headlines recently after a car accident somehow helped him regain his sight. https://www.unexplained-mysteries.com/news/334554/blind-man-regains-sight-after-being-hit-by-car 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonman Posted February 12, 2020 #2 Share Posted February 12, 2020 (edited) Guy is kind of a dick, declining studies that could show how he regained his sight. He could help all kinds of people with sight issues if he allowed testing. I'm no humanitarian but if that was me, I'd help all I could. Makes me wonder if he faked the blindness in the first place.

Carnoferox Posted February 12, 2020 #5 Share Posted February 12, 2020 This sounds like a hoax to me, especially considering the only source is Lad Bible. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrLzs Posted February 13, 2020 #10 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Hmmmm. So, one Polish website. Not a medical journal. and picked up by the Daily Mirror. Screams credibility. But let's face it, even I as a nonmedico can think of some ways this could happen. As said above, it's a very selfish person who wouldn't get this investigated properly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I just got my sight back I wouldn't want a bunch of quacks poking and prodding at me just to satisfy their curiosity and risk going blind again,I'd tell them to f off. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrLzs Posted February 13, 2020 #12 Share Posted February 13, 2020 yep, as above, selfish. Most of the testing procedures are noninvasive, and you have the right to refuse any you don't like. Were you traumatised by a big bad doctor once? Scared of needles too? Antivaxxer? It's all the same selfish principle, the needs of me outweighs you other worthless morons.... 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robotic Jew Posted February 13, 2020 #13 Share Posted February 13, 2020 I'm surprised nobody had thought of this treatment plan before now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stereologist Posted February 13, 2020 #14 Share Posted February 13, 2020 This all depends on what sort of meaning there is to the word blind. We often think of it meaning no ability to detect light. There are all sorts of versions of blindness with a range of abilities. Here is an older story https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/health/8579809/Man-regains-sight-in-eye-after-55-years.html Quote A man left blind in one eye after being hit by a stone as a child has regained sight after surgeons re-attached his retina in a ground-breaking operation, 55 years after the accident. Or this https://mysteriousfacts.com/blind-woman-regains-her-sight-after-getting-hit-on-the-head/ Quote Lisa Reid from Auckland, New Zealand had become blind when she was 11 years old. She had lost her vision because of a tumor in her head that was pressing her optic nerve. After 10 years, Lisa could see again and this miracle happened because of a small accident. When Lisa was 24 years old she bent down to kiss her dog Ami goodnight and banged her head on the coffee table. These other cases have explanations. I am wondering about the degree of blindness of the main in question. If it was not as severe as we all might at first guess then the recovery might not be as big as we might suppose it is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbondo Posted February 13, 2020 #15 Share Posted February 13, 2020 If this is real, doesn't say much about the "doctors" who've been treating him. Of course, they obviously credit the drugs they were treating him with in order to save face. American doctor: "Seems you have pennies in your eyes sir. What we will do is remove them and it should restore your sight."......"Hey, how come my regular doctors didn't notice this?" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The medical industry is corrupt to the core and very nervous at this time. Most in the the industry have no clue as to what they are a party to, but the hidden hand is altogether another tale. If the truth were known they would —> All Of A Sudden <— have a very high rate of Unemployment — along with preachers, politicians, professors, pharmacists, psychiatrists, psychologists, propagandists, pope’s, and “players” of all kinds.

SpaceBumZaphod Posted February 20, 2020 #19 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Being (low vision blind, 20/200 best corrected, almost total without glasses), I would love to know the secret of his sight recovery. I'm not going to go get hit by a car to find out though. LOL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
