The Chopper Crashed and Doctor Tripped, But The Heart Transplant Was Still Successful
December 01, 2020
A chopper crash and doctor tripping didn't stop this heart transplant from being successful!
Imagine a scenario where everything that could go wrong does. (This should be easy for the anxious folks out there.)
Things going wrong during any sort of medical procedure though is the last thing anyone wants but is a reality some people face.

A helicopter arrived at the Keck Hospital at the University of Southern California. By arrival, the chopper crashed in actuality, landing onto its side. Onboard were four people, the pilot, and three others. Each suffered minor injuries but was otherwise unaffected.
Miraculously, the heart they were transporting was completely intact without any issue.
That wasn’t the only miracle.
After the first mishap, a first responder handed the heart to a medic. The medic took the heart, stepped off of the helipad, tripped over a metal plate, and dropped the heart onto the ground.
“I was inside the building working and then once we heard everyone run out and went out and saw it. It was like people were saying, ‘Oh, the blade of the helicopter was coming down or something,'” the pharmacist intern Bahador Aghakoochek stated.
He added, “I didn’t see anything personally but I know they were talking about debris flying from the air.”
Heart Transplant Was Successful After Chopper Crash
Somehow, someway, thank God, the heart was not at all damaged.
The hospital’s operation went on to continue as planned, and to top off all the previous miracles, the heart transplant was a success.

The crazy events like the one in this story would typically be saved for fiction, but this story, however surprising, is true.
While we may remain unaware, God is at work in our lives too, working behind the scenes performing miracles. Sometimes we are his miracle workers and we don’t even know.
