I take that back. Unless they witness an appendage growing, a wound healing, or bones reconstructing, there is no way they can verify anything...and a doctor wouldn't be needed for those miracles.

True, AND some verifiable medical records about the individual's previous medical condition go a long way to validating the miracle. I can walk up to any doctor that doesn't know me, have him/her listen to my heart and pronounce my heart perfectly healthy (and it is, thank God!), and then I could proceed to tell everybody around me that God just healed me of a serious heart defect. That would be a lie, but only I (and Jesus) would know that. If I was dramatic enough, I could convince a lot of folks that I had just been the recipient of a miracle. As you well know, there's more than one way to fake a healing (usually by faking a pre-existing condition).
