Natalia Nikolaevna Demkina- Known as "X-Ray Girl". According to her, she has a "second sight", which sees the insides of a person.

At the same time, she does not see herself from the inside.

According to the media, her diagnoses were often more accurate than the diagnoses made by doctors with the help of medical equipment. However, in the course of an experiment staged on May 1, 2004 by the popular science TV channel Discovery Channel, she failed to confirm her abilities. According to Natalia herself, in the course of the experiment she was placed in unfavorable conditions in advance.

The history of the phenomenon

According to Natasha and her parents, she developed unusual abilities at the age of ten. At first, Natasha looked through acquaintances and relatives, the phenomenon received wide publicity in the winter of 2003-2004, when television reported on it. On Russian television, a story about her was shown on Sunday news on Channel One. To heighten the effect, the TV crew added a glow of the eyes, during the supposedly scanning session. By that time, Natasha was in the last grade of the school. In January 2004, at the invitation of the English press, Natasha (together with her mother) visited London, where Natasha demonstrated her abilities during a live broadcast. She also took part in an experiment organized by the Sun tabloid. The journalist Briony Worden, who received numerous fractures as a result of a car accident, acted as "experimental material".

exposure

In March 2004, the American Discovery Channel (specializing in popular science and educational programs) became interested in the girl's phenomenon. This time, it was not journalists who organized the experiment, but the Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal (CSICOP) and the Commission Scientific Medicine and Mental Health (Commission for Scientific Medicine and Mental Health, CSMMH). Scientists took part in drawing up the program of experiments: Distinguished Professor of the University of Oregon (University of Oregon, USA) Dr. Ray Hyman and Professor of Psychology at the University of Hertfordshire (University of Hertfordshire, UK) Dr. journalist and editor of the Journal of the American Medical Association.

The experiment was organized as follows: Natasha had to examine seven volunteers, six of whom had visible x-rays deviations (one had no such deviations) and mark on special cards with descriptions of deviations in English and Russian the number of the participant in the experiment who had these deviations. According to the conditions of the experiment, with the correct result, in five cases out of seven, the commission would recognize that the Natasha phenomenon is worthy of further study. The conditions of the experiment were agreed with Natasha and her mother in advance. They fully agreed with them. Volunteers had the following features: removed appendix for appendicitis, removed lower esophagus, metal surgical "staples" on the chest after heart surgery, artificial hip joint; removed upper lobe of the left lung and a metal plate covering the defect of the skull bones.

The subject's worst mistake was not being able to identify the large metal plate in the skull of one of the volunteers. Several violations of the test protocol were also noted. For example, Natasha arrived early for the test and saw two volunteers walking up a long flight of stairs on their way to the building where the test was taking place. In this way, she could assess their physical condition. In the testing room, contrary to the original protocol, Natasha's mother was present. Natasha's friend, who acted as a translator, repeatedly received and sent SMS during the test. In addition, during the first attempt at diagnostics in English, the translator loudly announced to the volunteers the traces of which operation Natasha would try to find. The organizers of the experiment noted in their report that all correctly guessed cases belonged to subjects whose external condition most clearly indicated a state of health. For example, a volunteer with no defects was the youngest and healthiest looking in the group, a person who underwent heart surgery was the oldest and least looking. In addition, Natasha mistakenly chose the only volunteer who showed up for the test in a baseball cap as the person who underwent skull surgery. Despite the violations, the commission conducted the test, proceeding from the fact that the purpose of the test is not to expose Natasha's abilities. The results were supposed to show whether the abilities of the "X-ray girl" were worthy of further study.

The whole world learned about the phenomenal abilities of 17-year-old Natasha Demkina at the beginning of this year. Newspapers were full of headlines about "girl- x-ray", which can shine through people like a medical device. American journalists gave Natasha a live test and came to unexpected conclusions.

The gift of the x-ray girl opened for no reason at the age of 10.

“Mom, I see how your blood is moving,” Natasha X-ray suddenly said, lying with her mother on the couch. Both of them weren't even afraid. And they were not surprised when the girl suddenly began to correctly pronounce medical terms. But in the family they did not have a single doctor.

The first patients, of course, were my mother's girlfriends. Friends followed them. When our x-ray girl was already in her senior year, a queue of patients from different cities lined up at the door of her apartment. For seven years, the "X-ray girl" "permeated her gaze" with about 10 (!) Thousands of patients.

The real glory fell on the girl - x-ray in January of this year. English journalists brought Natasha to London, and on one of the TV channels live in front of millions of viewers, she showed the miracles of diagnostics with one hundred percent success. The X-ray girl was immediately interested in the well-known Discovery TV channel, which decided to make a film about her. Natasha signed a contract with the channel for six months, one of the conditions of which was a ban on communication with other media.

During this time, Natasha X-ray graduated from the gymnasium with a gold medal. According to the Unified State Examination, she scored 96 points out of 100. And, having passed only one exam in biology, she became a student of the medical faculty of the Moscow State Dental University. Semashko.

In New York, the Commission on the Study of the Paranormal gave our x-ray girl, in our words, a "deuce". And the English newspaper The Guardian called Demkina a charlatan.

Found a nail in my tooth

I am not x-ray! - in the hearts she immediately blurted out. - The X-ray function is somewhat different from mine. The device scans completely and immediately. And for me, in order to view the whole organism, I need to deal with each organ separately.

Look at my jaws - find a surprise there, - I asked Natasha-X-ray through my teeth and tightly closed my mouth.

We look into each other's eyes for a few seconds, then she looks away and ... strikes me on the spot. The “X-ray girl” “saw” a carnation-pin screwed into my dental canal after the removal of the nerve a year (!) Ago, and even a lump-seal on the gum from the inside (!) Side.

American tricks on the x-ray girl

So what happened in New York? I ask, recovering from a slight shock.

The story as told by the Demkin family really turned out to be dark. In London, the abilities of our x-ray girl were tested by journalists. There was no doctor around. 6-8 patients were brought to Natasha, and then her diagnosis was compared with what was entered in their medical records. The coincidence was one to one. Therefore, Natasha X-ray soon appeared on live television, where she "watched" patients in front of the audience. In general, the success was stunning. But not backed by science.

Already other journalists from the Discovery Channel brought the X-ray girl to New York and handed over to the head of the Commission for the Study of the Paranormal, Richard Wiseman. He is famous for the fact that at one time he allegedly brought to light Uri Geller, who with his eyes bent iron spoons and stopped the clock on Big Ben. But Wiseman doesn't have a degree either. He is a former illusionist who has made it his mission to expose the tricks of others.

This commission created unbearable conditions for me during testing, - says Natasha - x-ray. - Firstly, they put me in the same room with seven patients at once. And I had to diagnose each of them. And usually I take one. So the session lasted several hours. But in the end, Wiseman set me up. I could not compare my diagnoses with the official conclusions of doctors. They were not shown to me afterwards. For example, I didn't "see" a metal plate in one guy's head. Or maybe she wasn't? In another test, I was asked to point to one person out of seven who had a scar on his body. And there were two women with completely identical scars, and in the same place. Only the reasons for the origin of these scars were different: one had an appendix removed, and the other had a gynecological operation. I mentioned this misunderstanding to the commission, and they say that I should point out only one person. I freaked out and pointed to the one with gynecology, because it's more serious than appendicitis. And to offset the commission, it turns out, a woman with a scar from appendicitis was needed. So I didn't get another point. Moreover, one of the commission members accused me of receiving information about patients via SMS. From God, right? I have no friends or enemies in America. And one psychologist argued that supposedly I, an x-ray girl, see diseases by gestures and facial expressions. And he even volunteered to diagnose patients with me. As a result, he has zero points, and I have 4 out of 7. This is almost 60 percent of the hit. But the commission still did not recognize my phenomenon.

Did you like the movie about yourself?

Me on him ... in parallel, - without hiding her displeasure, Natalya said - x-ray. - The key phrase that sounded at the end of the film puts an end to me: "If we recognized Natasha's gift, then all fundamental medicine should be thrown into the trash." I was needed for filming as an excuse to debunk unusual abilities.

The turn of the millennium was marked by the appearance in different parts the light of many people with paranormal abilities. All sorts of scammers flourished on this wave, as well as self-taught psychics who do not understand what consequences inept interference in the affairs of the Universe can have. However, some of these personalities really baffled scientists with their capabilities. Among them was a girl from Russia, Natasha Demkina.

Childhood

Natasha Demkina was born in 1987 in Saransk. According to her mother, the girl was different early development: she began to speak at 6 months, and when she was one year old, she recited Pushkin's poems by heart. At the age of three, she already knew the letters. Natasha grew up as a hardened child: she did not need to dress warmly, and her mother said that after the bath she put her barefoot in the snow. However, she did not show any psychic abilities until the age of 10, when Natalya got an operation to remove her appendix. When the girl was to be discharged, her health left much to be desired. X-rays showed that at the end of the operation, the doctors forgot the surgical tampons inside the patient, so the sutures had to be opened again.

The first manifestations of new abilities

After the operation, Natasha developed “double vision”: she told her mother what was inside her: “a hose like a vacuum cleaner, two beans and a tomato that looked like a Bull’s Heart.” The child was not yet familiar with the internal structure of the human body and gave a description of organs by analogy with known objects. A frightened mother took her daughter to the doctors. They did not diagnose any abnormalities and gave a referral to a psychotherapist, who also did not find any pathology and asked: “What do you see inside me?” Natasha drew a "pouch for food" with a spot in the place where her companion had a stomach ulcer. This convinced the therapist that in front of her was a child with unique abilities. The doctor called Natasha "the future Vanga" - the famous clairvoyant died a few months before these events and predicted that her gift would go to a girl living in an unknown country.

The first experiments to identify Natasha's abilities were carried out by the doctors of the children's clinic: the girl was shown patients with a number of diseases, and her diagnosis in most cases coincided with the ultrasound readings. Doctors were wary of such a technique, which runs counter to traditional medicine, but could not but recognize the success of the experiments. The Izvestia newspaper published an interview with Irina Kachan, an endocrinologist at Children's Polyclinic No. 1, who spoke in favor of traditional research methods using tests and medical equipment. “Nevertheless, I admit that the girl has extraordinary abilities. Let her not have 100% accuracy in determining the diagnosis, but the percentage of hits is high. And errors occur only due to the fact that she is not a specialist, she has her own explanation about illnesses. For example, I see a spasm of the head vessels in a patient, she also sees shiny balls, which, in her opinion, need to be caught and the pain will pass. In order to become a professional, a girl definitely needs knowledge and a medical education.”

Difficult calling

Information about the nugget girl quickly spread throughout the small town, and patients reached out to Natasha for a consultation. The phone was ringing with calls for help. Sick children were brought to her, sometimes carried in their arms, Natasha herself recalled that it was morally difficult to look at all these manifestations of human grief. Visitors crowded not only in the apartment, but also on the stairs and near the entrance, which caused displeasure of the neighbors, they even wrote statements to the police, which, however, did not reveal any violations.

Patients entered a small room, stood at the door and Natasha "scanned" their body: someone had a blood clot in a vein, someone had kidney stones. It happened more than once that a young girl refuted the medical diagnosis and recommended that the operation be canceled, and subsequent studies confirmed her correctness. A young patient, Eduard, was treated for tuberculosis for a whole year at the Saransk Clinic for Pulmonary Diseases without any improvement. Natasha drew the problem she saw: signs of sarcoidosis granuloma - damage to immune cells. With this drawing, Edward was able to receive healing in a Moscow clinic.

It also happened like this: Natasha, before the medical verdict, determined serious illness. In this way, she saved many lives.

Journalist Igor Monichev considered psychics to be charlatans and asked Natasha to determine the place of a long-standing injury in him, and she did it.

Natasha explained her feelings in this way: “I seem to have two eyesight. I can switch at any moment just like that, for no reason. One has only to want to look at a person's health. Such a switch for me is not difficult, just think about it. I see the full structure of the body, who has what and where it is and how it works. How I define the disease is difficult to explain. Something like impulses come from the affected organs. The second sight operates only during daylight hours and falls asleep at night.

The schoolgirl barely had time to do her homework, and there was no time for entertainment at all. She saw 20 patients per evening 3 times a week. In a small Mordovian town, medicine was in a very poor state, and patients were drawn to Natasha by a stream, whom the doctors were unable to help.

Natasha understood the need medical education. "Owning medical terms I can make an accurate diagnosis. I need to know and understand what exactly I see. This will make it easier to work with people who come for a consultation.”

To study medicine, the girl entered the academy at the Mordovian state university named after Ogaryov. Her main dream was to receive a higher medical education in the Moscow medical academy named after Sechenov, but this education was too expensive for the family.

Orthodox psychic girl

Natasha's talent does not extend to her own problems. But she is an Orthodox person, and her faith, in turn, helps her. The girl was cured of back pain by dipping in ice water the miraculous spring of Paraskeva Pyatnitsa in the village of Paygarma.

Natalya regularly stands up for services and says that she is learning not to be offended and not to be angry.

Cargo of world fame

A few weeks later, Natasha became known throughout the country. A number of sensational articles were published in the press. Unlike most psychics, she agreed to any research and experimentation. American professor Richard Wiseman said that she took a big risk, agreeing to experiments that are not always carried out with a benevolent goal. But she herself was interested in finding a scientific justification for her “second sight”, and also in getting a certificate that would give her the right to officially apply her talent.

Thus, the girl ended up first in England, then in America. In England, the tests were passed successfully. In America, her abilities were subjected to rigorous testing by experimental psychologists Richard Wiseman and Ray Hyman, who specialize in exposing false psychics. American experts considered her talent to be false, since Natasha was able to identify pathologies in 4 out of 7 patients. Natalya herself later recalled that the Americans put hard pressure on her, the situation was skeptical, there was no one close to her, and she was only 17 years old and she was emotionally unprepared for psychological pressure. The tests lasted over 4 hours and were extremely tiring in and of themselves. In addition, a number of diagnoses required specialized medical education.

The next test took place in Japan, at the Center for the Study of Man at the University of Tokyo, and was crowned with complete success. The experiments were carried out by experienced doctors of medical sciences, whose specialization was precisely in the study of the paranormal abilities of a person: Narai Riske, Yoshio Machi, Ishiya Hironochi and Yamamoto Hiroshi. Natasha carried out diagnostics on people completely wrapped in overalls and with masks over their eyes so that they could not give her any signals with their eyes. She was even planted with her back to the patients, and still she was able to identify such anomalies as 4 kidneys, a heart with a shift to the right, a steel endoprosthesis in the patella, and even a three-week pregnancy.

The girl even diagnosed the dog and found that a prosthesis was implanted in her right hind leg.

At the request of the Japanese experts, Natasha tried to conduct photography tests. Amazingly, she was able to identify a person with liver cancer from a small photo in her passport.

Absolutely all the diagnoses Natasha made correctly. Upon completion of testing, venerable Japanese professors gave a standing ovation to the fragile blond Russian girl and issued her a certificate documenting her amazing abilities.

Natalia Demkina - an accomplished specialist

Natasha graduated from high school with honors and entered the Moscow State Institute of Medicine and Dentistry, while continuing to receive patients. When she returns to Saransk, her patients come to her. They can call even at 4 o'clock in the morning: "Natasha, I have an attack, what should I do."

High-ranking people of the state turn to her for advice, but through intermediaries: Natasha is brought their personal belongings, and she already diagnoses them and gives recommendations.

Natalya Demkina considers spiritual development to be the most important, it helps her to move on. She diagnoses energy layers patient: where the disease originates - the cause can be both physiological disorders and “karmic” mistakes of a person.

Why Natalya Dyomkina was nicknamed the "X-ray girl"

Natalya Nikolaevna Demkina (1987, Saransk) - known as the "X-ray girl". According to her, she has a "second sight", with which she sees the insides of a person. She herself says this about it:

I seem to have two views. I can switch at any moment just like that, for no reason. One has only to want to look at a person's health, says Natasha. - Such a switch is not difficult for me, just think about it. I see the full structure of the body, who has what and where it is and how it works. How I define the disease is difficult to explain. Something like impulses come from the affected organs. The second sight operates only during daylight hours and falls asleep at night.

At the same time, she does not see herself from the inside.

According to the media, the diagnoses made to her were often more accurate than the diagnoses made by doctors using medical equipment. However, in the course of an experiment staged on May 1, 2004 by the popular science TV channel Discovery Channel, she failed to confirm her abilities. According to Natalia herself, in the course of the experiment she was placed in unfavorable conditions in advance.

The history of the phenomenon

According to Natasha and her parents, she developed unusual abilities at the age of ten. At first, Natasha looked through acquaintances and relatives, the phenomenon received wide publicity in the winter of 2003-2004, when television reported on it.

She also took part in an experiment organized by the Sun tabloid. The journalist Briony Worden, who received numerous fractures as a result of a car accident, acted as "experimental material". Natasha managed to point out all the woman's fractures.

Experiment in New York

In March 2004, the American Discovery Channel (specializing in popular science and educational programs) became interested in the girl's phenomenon. This time, it was not journalists who organized the experiment, but the Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal (CSICOP) and the Commission for Scientific Medicine and Mental Health (CSMMH). Scientists took part in drawing up the program of experiments: Professor Emeritus of the University of Oregon (University of Oregon, USA) Dr. Ray Hyman and Professor of Psychology at the University of Hertfordshire (University of Hertfordshire, UK) Dr. journalist and editor of the Journal of the American Medical Association.

The experiment was organized as follows: Natasha had to examine seven volunteers, six of whom had deviations visible on x-rays (one had no such deviations) and mark on special cards describing deviations in English and Russian the number of the participant in the experiment who had these deviations . According to the conditions of the experiment, with the correct result, in five cases out of seven, the commission would recognize that the Natasha phenomenon is worthy of further study. The conditions of the experiment were agreed with Natasha and her mother in advance. They fully agreed with them. Volunteers had the following features: removed appendix for appendicitis, removed lower esophagus, metal surgical "staples" on the chest after heart surgery, artificial hip joint; removed upper lobe of the left lung and a metal plate covering the defect of the skull bones.

As a result of the experiment, Natasha gave the correct answer in four cases, despite the fact that, according to Natasha and her mother, the girl is never wrong. Thus, the result was considered unsatisfactory. At the same time, it took her four hours to establish diagnoses, although before that she claimed that she could make a diagnosis in a few minutes. The test was conducted in six rounds. Before each attempt, Natasha was explained in detail (using texts in Russian and English, as well as illustrations) what kind of defect needed to be detected. The subject's worst mistake was not being able to identify the large metal plate in the skull of one of the volunteers. Several violations of the test protocol were also noted. For example, Natasha arrived early for the test and saw two volunteers walking up a long flight of stairs on their way to the building where the test was taking place.

The organizers of the experiment noted in their report that all correctly guessed cases belonged to subjects whose external condition most clearly indicated a state of health. For example, the unaffected volunteer was the youngest and healthiest looking in the group, the person who had heart surgery was the oldest and least looking. In addition, Natasha mistakenly chose the only volunteer who showed up for the test in a baseball cap as the person who underwent skull surgery. Despite the violations, the commission conducted the test, proceeding from the fact that the purpose of the test is not to expose Natasha's abilities. The results were supposed to show whether the abilities of the "X-ray girl" were worthy of further study.

Natasha's reaction

Experiment in London

The British edition of The Sun had the opportunity to experience the incredible abilities of a young Russian woman with a unique "X-ray" vision, from their own experience. First, 17-year-old Natasha Demkina from Saransk stunned doctors with her ability to see through a person in her native country.

Together with the staff of the British newspaper brilliant child flew to London.

The editors of the newspaper unanimously decided to choose to confirm the extraordinary abilities of the Saransk girl reporter Briony Worden, who received numerous injuries as a result of an accident. In October last year, Briony was hit by a car.

She is currently recovering from the accident and uses props and a wheelchair to get around. Before Natasha showed up at Briony's home in North London, the reporter removed the brace from her leg and covered up any visible signs of her injuries. Arriving at the site of the experiment, a petite blonde, who, according to the publication, looks younger than her years, was subjected to an exam.

Brioni, 36, said that she appeared before the eyes of a unique teenager fully dressed and allowed herself to be seen.

This is how a British journalist described a meeting with a Russian child prodigy

"Her pupils dilated and she seemed to go into a trance for a few minutes."

"First, she started looking at an injury at the base of my back, which she called a 'blockage'. "I actually have four healing back fractures and a little nerve damage."

“She described my pelvic region as asymmetric and pointed to the correct side, the one where there were several fractures. Pointing to my jaw, she said that she saw a “hard foreign body.” As Brioni later explained, she had a titanium plate in this place that supports the bones.

"The most amazing moment was when she saw the damage to my left leg."

"In fact, both my tibia and fibula - both below the knee - are broken. I was amazed as she immediately 'saw' two separate fractures and said I was having trouble bending the knee."

"She then reported that she saw 'traces of several metal pins and screws, which left marks on the bone. "She couldn't know without seeing the scars that, two weeks ago, my leg was held together with half a dozen pins and screws."

"She even said that the scars where the pins were were covered with new tissue - this was also absolutely accurate, as my last x-ray showed it."

A stunned Brioni added: "Natasha is an amazing person. At first I was very skeptical, but only until she focused on my major fractures. I was very impressed. It was like she was looking at my X-ray. Only my orthopedic consultant may have known more."

After the examination, The Sun employees spoke about the accident that happened to Briony. Natasha, in turn, said that she sees that "everything is healing very well."

For the first time Natasha Demkina felt her gift when she was 10 years old.

One day she began to tell her mother about how the human body works. The girl did not know the name of many organs and called the kidneys beans, and the intestines - a corrugated hose. The frightened mother turned to specialists. At the doctor's appointment, Natasha unexpectedly spoke about the structure of his body. Then the doctors were confused.

According to Natasha, she has two visions. One ordinary, like all normal people, and another that allows her to see through a person.

The girl is able to "see" the organs, determine their condition, "see" any cell, recognize a bacterium, a virus that has entered the body. She switches to the second "vision" at will, but after long sessions she has a severe headache. The young psychic can neither "look" nor treat herself.

Tatyana Demkina tried to hide her daughter's anomaly, but soon crowds of afflicted people poured in to her. Once a woman who could not conceive a child for more than 9 years turned. Natasha agreed to help, and in due time the woman gave birth to a boy. But the happy family did not even invite the girl to look at the baby. Most of all, the schoolgirl was hurt precisely by the indifference of those whom she helped.

Natasha dreams of becoming a doctor in order to legally engage in her life's work and save the sick. Her mother repeatedly turned to specialists to confirm her daughter's gift.

For example, in the Children's District Hospital N1, a schoolgirl was shown a little girl suffering from a whole bunch of diseases. Natasha described each diseased organ. Her diagnosis fully coincided with the examination data.

In the republican anti-tuberculosis dispensary, she was shown a patient with tuberculosis and cancer. The girl said that the woman did not have cancer, and after a month and a half, the doctors recognized the error in the diagnosis. Soon the patient was cured of tuberculosis.

The last experiment took place in the medical unit "Orbita", when computed tomography confirmed the presence of a brain tumor in a man, which Natasha "saw". Each time, doctors recognized the unusual gift of the schoolgirl, but refused to formalize it.

As a result, Natasha's abilities attracted the attention of the English media. Several notes appeared in the London newspapers, after which a real hunt began for the Mordovian girl.

Local journalists who wrote about her began to receive calls from representatives of the English press. One of the British journalists said that on January 23, Natasha flew to London. Allegedly, the Daily Express newspaper signed a contract with her, according to other sources, the contract was signed by one of the richest "yellow" newspapers in the UK Sun, which operated through the Daily Express. One of his contract clauses is the examination of a Saransk schoolgirl in a scientific laboratory.

“We hid our daughter’s gift for a long time,” said Natasha’s father, Nikolai Demkin. “But her uniqueness nevertheless “surfaced” to the surface, after which our family was attacked by journalists. The phone was bursting with calls, even NTV came. Local newspapers also wrote a lot about her, although some articles brought us a lot of grief.

As a result, according to Nikolai Demkin, the British signed a contract with her, according to which she must stay in London for two weeks. "I am happy that my daughter has achieved such success. I a common person I don't have any paranormal powers. I myself often resort to her services, the last time she “brought” sand out of my kidneys,” he said.

Natalia Nikolaevna Demkina(, Saransk) - known as the "X-ray girl". According to her, she has a "second sight", which sees the insides of a person. She herself says this about it:

At the same time, she does not see herself from the inside.

The experiment was organized as follows: Natasha had to examine seven volunteers, six of whom had deviations visible on x-rays (one had no such deviations) and mark on special cards describing deviations in English and Russian the number of the participant in the experiment who had these deviations . According to the conditions of the experiment, with the correct result, in five cases out of seven, the commission would recognize that the Natasha phenomenon is worthy of further study. The conditions of the experiment were agreed with Natasha and her mother in advance. They fully agreed with them. Volunteers had the following features: removed appendix for appendicitis, removed lower esophagus, metal surgical "paper clips" on the chest after heart surgery, artificial hip joint; removed upper lobe of the left lung and a metal plate covering the defect of the skull bones.

As a result of the experiment, Natasha gave the correct answer in four cases, despite the fact that, according to Natasha and her mother, the girl is never wrong. Thus, the result, in which the probability of guessing is equal to 1.8%, was considered unsatisfactory. At the same time, it took her four hours to establish diagnoses, although before that she claimed that she could make a diagnosis in a few minutes. The test was conducted in six rounds. Before each attempt, Natasha was explained in detail (using texts in Russian and English, as well as illustrations) what kind of defect needed to be detected.

Natasha's reaction

The “X-ray girl” herself does not agree with the conclusions of the commission. She points out that she has no experience with seeing multiple patients at the same time. She also talks about the hostile psychological atmosphere that prevailed during the experiment. In 2004, Natasha graduated from school, passing the exam with 96 points and became a student of the medical faculty of the Moscow State University of Medicine and Dentistry. Semashko.
