He survived the impossible: 15-year-old shocked by 35,000 volts, burns covering 80 percent of his body

A 15-year-old boy survived after being electrocuted by 35,000 volts, suffering second-degree burns covering 80% of his body. Medical teams at Zagreb Hospital performed a complex procedure combining transplanted artificial skin, cadaveric skin, and the patient's own skin, which was grown in a laboratory. Dr. Zoran Barčot called the recovery a miracle, noting the extremely low chances of survival under such conditions. The boy's father described him as a hero, emphasizing his resilience. Despite severe injuries, the teenager remains motivated for physical therapy and looks forward to returning home. Doctors expect him to be able to go home within two months, with only a small percentage of his body remaining uncovered.

Bias read (Center): The article focuses on a medical case and does not present any political viewpoints or frame the situation through a partisan lens. While the subject involves a significant health crisis, the narrative remains objective, focusing on medical treatment and recovery rather than political implications.
