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?

mostly from experience, research, other doctors’ opinions. judging by majority. if most of their patients with a certain disease died in similar amount of days then they just expect the same result with the rest. however, these predictions and expectations can motivate some people so greatly that they manage to overcome many many obstacles and recover.

the human body is much more amazing than we know. it is capable of things beyind our current understanding. just the pure will to live can give someone such strength that their body will heal completely. that’s why these predictions remain just guesses, after all.
