30 of the Hardest Things Peoples’ Bodies Endured
The human body can endure more pain than you think.
When it comes to surviving a gunshot to the head, weathering the initial blast is just the beginning, which one Redditor learned after being shot in “zone two” of their skull. “Took out my entire jaw bone but left my teeth fully intact,” they recalled of their injury.
Unsurprisingly, the road to recovery was long and brutal. “I live a normal life now, but I had six years of consequences,” they continued, noting that they still experience chronic pain over half of a decade later. “I question the realness of life and experience itself daily.”
They aren’t alone in proving just how much the human body can overcome. Other resilient Redditors have shared how they survived aggressive diseases, competed in ultramarathons or woke up in the middle of surgery.
