Guest guest Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 Has anyone thought how miraculous it was that Arun took a four inch knife wound in his back and it didn't harm any internal organs? I'm certainly not a medical doctor, but I don't imagine there are too many places in the back where you could take a four inch stab wound and not puncture something vital... --- Arun Raj <jaimaa wrote: > i just cannot keep myself quiet seeing the news item > in the below post. let me clarify... > > 1.

The doctors said that he was very lucky, because if the knife had entered his back just a few centimetres to either side of where it struck, it would have hit his kidneys, liver or spinal cord. from amritapuri.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
