***
All physicians are inherently atheistic. Most of them genuinely believe that the treatment that they prescribe would help. But there are cases when a treatment does not work, and suddenly a real miracle happens and a patient incredibly, without any good reason, recovers.
And there are also completely mystical events that are remembered a lifetime.
When I recall this episode of my life, it still get goose bumps all over my body. That is why, if you are too impressionable, you should probably stop reading.
When I was in medical school, I had an internship in a maternity hospital. One day we were taken to the neonatal intensive care unit. An hour before our arrival a newborn baby died there.
When a person dies in a hospital, the body should remain for two hours in that unit to ascertain a biological death and only then it is taken to pathological-anatomical department.
Typically, after 2 hours the body stiffens. So, in the appropriate time, two hours later we approach the body of the newborn with a nurse. She examines him, gets very scared and starts to call for doctors. We couldn't understand anything. Then she says: "The whole body is stiffened but the neck and head!" This means that a child is like "looking around, thinking who to take with him."
Once she said that, in the next intensive care unit another newborn had a cardiac arrest. The whole crowd ran over there and began reviving him. And in the next incubator there was another 26 week year old baby. He was relatively stable and was developing fine outside the mother's body, and he had every chance to be soon released from the hospital. And his heart also stopped!
2 teams of doctors were trying really hard to save both lives!

And that nurse shouted: "Take the dead baby right away for the unit and call for maintenance guys so they hammered some nails into each corner of the emergency room!"
So I asked: isn't it true that doctors tend to believe in their treatment until the last moment, but then, as I knew it, a maintenance guy came and he hammered a nail into every corner.
And some time later both of those babies got better and they began to recover.
We, the students, experienced a terrible shock! And that nurse told us that in her experience something similar happened several times. Sometimes even those measures didn't help, and a dead baby managed to "take someone away with him."

Setter Ace of Shiratorizawa
[Haikyuu!xOC][The rewrite of 𝑨𝒄𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝑺𝒉𝒊𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒊𝒛𝒂𝒘𝒂]"Whoa, who is that?""No idea, but she's intimidating!""Probably a new first year, wonder why she's so confident.

She's from Kitagawa Daiichi! What was her name again?""Kazane Kageyama." She grinned, her hand on her hip as her team stood behind her. "Ace Setter of Shiratorizawa."~•~Being Kageyama's sister meant that she knew everything that he knew, but did it better because she wasn't a controlling prick like him. Maybe that's why she got into Shiratorizawa and her brother didn't. It took less than one practice to establish that she was the ace and better setter of the girl's volleyball team, and of course this drew some attention. The boy's team's attention, to be exact. All of the boys were extremely jealous of the new hottie, but she put them in their places. Commanding respect anywhere she went, the queen of the court, ace on the front line and setter on back line, caught the eye of almost every other school in the country after her debut. Look out ladies and gents, the 5'11ft ace of Shiratorizawa is flying in on eagle's wings.
