Film Premiere: Beyond Prognosis - Yannis Pelé
Destined for a global career in downhill mountain biking, Yannis Pelé is only 17 years old when he suffers a terrible crash during a competition. The diagnosis is clear: his vertebrae are fractured, and his spinal cord is injured. Yannis has lost the use of his legs and with them, his dream of becoming an athlete. When a childhood dream comes to an end, what remains but hope? So Yannis refuses to believe it and holds on. It's the beginning of a race against time. But what the medical profession doesn't know is that Yannis has a lucky star and confidence in life…
Beyond Prognosis is a story of refusal. Because when the diagnosis strikes, Yannis refuses to believe it, convinced he won't spend his life in a wheelchair. But it's also a universal tale about the power of the mind. In his room, away from prying eyes and in his still world, Yannis reactivates every cell in his body to awaken his legs through mental visualization exercises. And several times a day, the 17-year-old writes the same refrain in his notebooks: that of healing.

Not sure I understand the context of your post - if you are trying to be funny, sarcastic or simply offensive, but I am pretty sure it is uncalled for. It seems as if your post puts the story mentioned above into a context that does not really fit and you are merely trying to provoke - which is a shame.
