Woman Born With Feet Facing Backwards

In China, a woman named Wang Fang was born with her feet facing the wrong way. She lives fine with her condition and doesn’t want to receive disability pension because she doesn’t see herself as disabled. She says that she can run faster than most of her friends and has a job as a waitress. After she was born, Doctors thought she would not be able to walk properly but she is doing fine.

Oldest Brother from Pop Group Hanson Leaves Hospital

Isaac Hanson, oldest brother of the pop group Hanson, left the hospital on Friday after doctors removed a blood clot that made his right arm painfully swell during a concert. He had surgery on Thursday for venous thoracic outlet syndrome, which interrupted the blood flow from his arm to his heart.

In the next few months, he will have to have a rib removed to help to open his vein and prevent any more clots. In the meantime, he will have to be on blood thinners. His condition isn’t life threatening but there is a chance that it can cause permanent disability if it isn’t treated in good time.
