Dr. Brian S. Yeo, a Seoul-based general practitioner, was speaking on the second day at the 8th Annual Christian Medical Conference, to more than 220 doctors and medical professional who were gathered to examine whether miracles still happen today.
As he spoke, he showed on large screens, medical data about this seemingly impossible case.
Dr. Yeo began, "In the evening of October 7, 2009, this boy was hit by a taxi on a crosswalk in Seoul. The taxi hit his left pelvis and he flew about 20 meters in the air and hit the road starting from his right skull.
"As a result, he had multiple skull open fractures, traumatic intracranial hemorrhage, stupor mental state, and a pelvic ring fracture.
"He was taken to the ER and underwent emergency surgery and emergency craniotomy and hematoma removal was done."
Dr. Yeo, who is also General Secretary of the World Christian Doctors Network (WCDN), sponsor of the two day "Spirituality and Medicine" Conference held June 11-12, 2011 at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre, said that after the emergency operation, he received a "massive blood transfusion."
He went on, "But still his hematocrit and platelet levels kept on falling. The doctor said he had little chance of survival."
Dr. Yeo said that he is a member of the Manmin Central Church in Seoul, and that much prayer went out for the young boy whose life hung by a thread.
"God looked after the child," he continued. "The hematocrit and platelet levels stopped falling down, and he was slowly making a recovery."
He said that when his senior pastor, Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee, laid hands on a photo of the boy and his recovery was speeded up.
"The acute state after the accident was considered to last at least three months, but it lasted only two months," he said.
Dr. Yeo said, "He recovered very quickly and was released from the hospital. Two months later, cranioplasty was possible. All the expected sequelae of the skull and brain injuries were also recovered clearly.
"Now he is a perfectly healthy boy. Before the traffic accident, he has some love for the world, but after he was healed by the prayer of Dr. Lee, he changed and he now looks up to God only. Now he is in the 7th grade and is studying hard.
"This is one of the good examples of the space and light being formed around the boy, so he was protected, and his cells, tissues, and internal organs recovered very quickly."
Then Dr. Yeo shocked the audience revealing that this boy was his own son and then invited him to come onto the stage and the boy shared his story in English.
His name is Hae-Dong Yeo, he is aged 13, which he concluded his moving talk by thanking God for his own miracle and he closed with, "Praise the Lord."
There wasn't a dry eye in the hall as this father and son embraced to celebrate the power of God in both of their lives.
It truly was father and son miracle.
