According to Chinese media, including the Hunan Daily, a 27-year-old woman was urgently transferred to Zhongnam University's Xiangya Third Hospital in Changsha, Hunan Province, at around 5 a.m. on June 10.
She had suffered serious systemic damage after falling from the 35th floor of her apartment.
Emergency department medical staff explained that "When the patient arrived at the hospital, he was already in a very critical condition accompanied by liver rupture and intestinal perforation in severe trauma such as intracerebral hemorrhage, brain left laceration, clavicle fracture, and pelvic multiple fractures.'
After the emergency examination, a number of specialists, including anesthesiology, orthopedic surgery, gastrointestinal surgery, urology, neurosurgery, and thoracic surgery, were mobilized and the operation was conducted for 14 hours.
After surgery, the patient was treated in the intensive care unit for more than 50 days and underwent more than 10 additional operations, including bone restoration and necrotic tissue removal.
Miraculously, women regained consciousness, ventilators were removed, and major organ functions are now back to normal and there are no major problems with limb movement. Patients who have recovered enough to express their thoughts by writing have recently been transferred to burns and plastic surgery clinics for additional treatment.
The medical staff said "This is a miracle of life," adding "We have encountered many severely ill patients in the medical field, but very few survived after falling from the 35th floor."
He cited ▲ the fact that the patient was young and had strong vitality ▲ the prompt rescue that arrived at the hospital 10 minutes after the fall ▲ the buffering effect of the tree at the time of the fall as a survival factor.
In fact, the patient first hit a 4-meter-high tree during the fall and then fell into a shrubbery, mitigating the impact twice.
Meanwhile, the woman was living with her boyfriend on the 35th floor, and at the time of the accident, she heard her boyfriend shouting "Save us."
Police are investigating the exact cause of the crash.
