We’ve all heard this said about athletes. It has been said so often about athletes that perform at elite levels that I no longer believe such statements were made.

I think doctors actually often say, "your case is a miracle, never seen this recovery happen" to boost the patient. Far from uncommon. Or "you have a guardian angel, if the bullet hit one millimeter to the left you would've died "
