As I began trying to search for ways to help heal from being struck by lightning injuries, I struggled to find anything definitive on the internet to help. Sadly, most doctors don’t think that this phenomenon happens enough to warrant studying this out to any extent.
In the months following, I have been able to learn that one in one million people get struck by lightning per year! In our finite minds, we generally think that is great odds. But if you sit and ponder it a little more…
There are over 7 billion people in the world. With that in mind, an average of 7,000 people gets struck a year. Of those that do get struck, 90% survive; and 80% of those survivors have lasting effects from their encounter. I’m thinking that should be enough for some doctors and/or nurses to study this out to help the survivors that have long-lasting effects from their lightning strike encounters.
C. S. Lewis wrote, ” We can ignore even pleasure. But pain insists upon being attended to. God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our conscience, but shouts in our pain: it is His megaphone to rouse a deaf world. It is for this reason that I have decided to try to document my journey to recovery hoping that maybe my findings can help someone else who may need help finding the light in a dark world.
“The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.” Psalm 34:18
