Pope Francis
In late 1950s, Jorge Mario Bergoglio (Pope Francis), a 21 year old seminarian felt feverish and was near death for days, the doctors diagnosed a severe lung infection. This led to the removal of part of his upper right lung.
Although, details of this operation on the 76 year old Pontiff is not known as no records concerning it has been made available to any media house.
According to some medical experts when one lung is removed, the remaining lung inflates to take up some of the extra space. They also said it would be rare nowadays to remove a lung. Antibiotics would be used to treat most lung infections including tuberculosis, though, part of the organ might be removed to treat advanced lung cancer.
This shows that living with just one full lung can't slow one down.
This pope is destined to be great. God's chosen.
