Once-In-A-Lifetime Coincidence: Med Student’s Attending Surgeon Reveals Astounding Connection To Her Late Father.

A two-photo collage. The first shows a tweet from Erica Wenger that reads: My sister asked the attending where he went to med school & he said Univ of Arizona in class of ‘88. My sister said “No way! I think that’s the year my dad graduated med school” The second photo shows an old photo of Erica Wenger's parents smiling together as they stand near an ocean.

5. “What are the odds that they met? Know my dad is looking down today & smiling big time,” Erica says. “Such a beautiful moment that shows just how small the world is & how precious life truly is.”

Tweet from Erica Wenger:

The attending also told my sister one of the main reasons he went into the specialty of gyn onc was because of my dad’s rare cancer (my dad was a biological man but his cancer had a strange feminine origin). The attending devoted his life/career to helping people just like my dad.

Seriously, what are the odds of these two ever crossing paths!?

The first photo shows Erica with her twin and their mom. The second shows an old photo of both of their parents together. The look so happy!

I don’t think this med student will ever get over a chance encounter with someone who meant so much to her late father — I certainly wouldn’t. Because however much we can’t get over the insane odds of this happening, Erica’s family is feeling it all-the-more!
