I was rewatching an old video on YouTube and the guy was able to walk again after 10 months of practicing yoga and losing 140 lbs. If no one on earth can exactly predict when someone will die or if they’ll be able to walk again, how and why do doctors come up with these predictions?

A mechanic can give you an estimate on how long to repair a car, a baker on how long it takes to make a cake, and a doctor on making a recovery.
Through education and experience, professionals have a generally good idea of how long certain stuff takes to complete. Sometimes things happen outside of our expectations and knowledge, which leads to unexpected outcomes, like a patient who recovers quickly or a cake that fails to rise. Generally speaking, as you get better at your job, the number of inaccuracies will decrease over time.
