Steven Thorpe awoke after being declared brain dead<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

And the moral of the story is: Always get a second opinion. Or a fifth.<\/p>\n

The Daily Mail (UK) reports<\/a>,<\/p>\n

They were told there was no chance of their son surviving after he suffered devastating injuries in a car crash.<\/h2>\n

But Steven Thorpe\u2019s parents refused to give up hope \u2013 despite four specialists declaring that the 17-year-old was brain dead.<\/p>\n

Convinced they saw a \u2018flicker\u2019 of life as Steven lay in a coma, John and Janet Thorpe rejected advice to switch off his life support machine.<\/p>\n

They begged for another opinion \u2013 and it was a decision that saved him.<\/p>\n

And four years on, the trainee accounts clerk says he owes everything to the persistence of his parents.<\/p>\n

I knew then I was going to be involved in a war and that I would have to be in Jesus Christ's Army. Even then, I knew the United States of America would cease to exist without the vast majority of its citizens voluntarily submitting to the Perfect and Good Laws of the Holy Bible.
