How do doctors make predictions of how long someone will live or if they’ll ever walk normally again?

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?

Its just an educated guess from my experience, and has definite swings in accuracy. My grandfather with over 30 cancer lumps had 6 months to live, he made it 3 years. My sister in laws father had brain cancer and they gave him a year and he was dead in 2 months. An ex’s grandfather had prostate cancer, gave him 6 months and he made it about that, so pretty close there.
*side note: cancer sucks
