Woman’s “Faith in God” Heals Fractured Leg/Arm from Escalator Fall with No Surgeries, No Pain Meds, No Pain

ARIZONA » Except for a Caesarian in 1988 for her daughter’s birth, a 69 year-old woman was

never hospitalized nor had a primary doctor for 28 years. She trusted in God to keep her in good

health. But after visiting her daughter in California on July 7, 2016 for her 28^th birthday, the next day she fell backwards on an ascending escalator in El Monte trying to catch a Greyhound bus back to her Arizona residence. She was carrying four awkward heavy items.

An ambulance transported her to an orthopedic hospital in Arcadia. CT scans and x-rays of her right leg and arm showed a “right acute comminuted fracture of the proximal right humerus [shoulder] with

displacement,” and an “acute fracture of the proximal tibia and proximal fibula” [knee] with

swelling.

When the hospital ER doctor told her, basically, “Your leg is much worse than we thought, and have to

prep you for surgery,” she emphatically said, “No surgery”! Raising her left hand up in the air with a

finger pointing to the ceiling, she said; “God is my Great Physician. He will heal me.” “No ma’am,” said

the doctor. “God can’t heal your leg.” “You don’t know the power of God,” she replied.

7/8/16 X-RAY OF RT LEG FRACTURE AFTER ESCALATOR FALL

 Remarkably, with two internal leg/arm fractures, an ER hospital report shows she had “no chest pain, no palpitations,” “no abdominal pain, no nausea, no vomiting,” “no dizziness, no numbness.”  EKG monitoring showed “normal” results. She was “alert in no distress,” and “oriented,” with a “normal mood and behavior.”

Hospital reports show that she, essentially, “refused all lab values as well as any pain medications.” By refusing treatment, she was exercising her patient’s “rights” under CFR 42, Sec. 483.10 (b)(4) “Resident Rights.”

On a scale of 1-10 at the hospital, she described her 3-2-1 pain level decreasing to virtually no pain. On 7/11/16, she was transported to a skilled nursing facility in Whittier, and moved about from her bed into a wheelchair to physical therapy, etc. The medical staff was amazed she had no pain. She told one doctor, “I fired you because you ordered Norco for me without my authorization or consent.” Another primary care doctor was assigned whom she liked. He told her, “I wish more patients had faith in God like you.”

AFTER ESCALATOR FALL

So there would be no mistake of her refusal of all pain meds, she wrote a note that was scotch taped inside the front of her blue plastic covered chart folder. This note asserted her “’Patient’s Rights’ in refusing all medications (including pain meds) whether orally or by injection, or otherwise” . . .

On 9/12/16, new x-rays were taken of her leg and arm showing “healing.” That same day she purchased a walking cane at a CVS pharmacy in a wheel chair via Dial-A-Ride against medical advice. After about two months in hospital facilities, against doctor's advice she began putting full weight on her right leg using a cane for stability because of muscle weakness.

On 9/15/16, she discharged herself from a nursing facility in El Monte against medical advice. Calling a taxi, she boarded a Greyhound bus to Arizona with her walking cane in her hand – using the same right fractured arm in the escalator fall.

Her escalator fall happened, she believes, so she can share her testimony with many people of her great “faith in God”; and how this same God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, whom she worships, has healed her leg/arm fractures with no surgeries, no pain, and no pain meds. God must have given her “three times the endorphins” in her body so she would have no pain she says, which was His reward when she declared her great “faith in God” to the ER hospital doctor.

8/11/16 AND 9/12/16 X-RAYS SHOWING PROGRESSIVE HEALING

Regarding her right leg, x-ray comparisons taken on 7/8/16 and 9/12/16 show an acute fractured displaced fibula now in a non-displaced normal alignment of joints without surgery thru God's miraculous healing, she says.

Many times she has also told people she is thankful that God saved her life, and that she didn’t suffer head or spinal injuries when she fell backwards on the escalator. In her prayers she blesses God, and believes He protected her life with His guardian angels, which are mentioned in the Bible.

Today she can throw a ball over or underhanded, and walks to grocery stores, bus/train stations, etc., often over 1/2 mile per day. She hopes her true story will inspire many people to also have “faith in God” because as she says . . . NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE WITH GOD! 

Copies of billing statements for her review have been requested to ensure no pain meds were billed by hospital facilities, which she believes would constitute Medicare fraud for services never rendered.

(This woman of “faith in God” is a student of the Bible for many years. She is the daughter of Holocaust survivors. The surnames of her parents and her birth surname are listed in Yad Vashem archives in Jerusalem.)
