A Doctor Adopts a Young Heart Patient, New Prostate Scan, and More
Johnny Mack presents five good news stories: a 4-year-old boy named True, born with congenital heart disease and in foster care, arrived alone for a seven-hour heart surgery at Children’s Nebraska Hospital when his social worker had COVID; anesthesiologist Dr. Amy and her husband Ryan adopted him a month later, and with help from relatives and a coworker, all six siblings found homes, including True’s sister Lainey adopted by Amy and Ryan. A PSMA PET/CT scan that makes prostate cancer cells glow may reduce invasive biopsies; in a 660-man study it helped identify low-risk or no-cancer cases that avoided biopsy while enabling targeted biopsies for positive scans. Johnny Cruz Buckingham set a record skiing on asphalt at 69 mph. At Chester Zoo, critically endangered rollaway monkey Messiah had pioneering foot surgery and soon gave birth to a healthy daughter, Laha. Staten Island Railway delays were caused by wild turkeys on the tracks, believed descended from pets released in 1999.

0:03 Caalaroga Shark Media. Hi there, I'm Johnny Mack with five good news stories. A four year old boy was headed into heart surgery completely alone. He ended up with not just a doctor, but a mother, a family, and a future. True was born with congenital heart disease. He had spent his early life in foster care. In twenty twenty two, he arrived at Children's Nebraska Hospital for a major operation, but because his social worker had COVID, he had no one there with him. That's where doctor Amy ran into him. She's an anesthesiologist. She said, he was sitting there all alone. It took me back that this four year old was going through heart surgery nobody was there. True surgery lasted around seven hours. Amy couldn't stop thinking about him. Afterwards.
0:48 She reached out to learn more about him and discovered he had six siblings, most of whom were also struggling in unstable placements. Following a domestic violence situation, True's caseworker asked doctor Amy, could you take him? Amy already had a large family six children of her own, but she felt there was room for one more. She explained, after I dropped True off in recovery, I called my husband. I said, we just have to have a talk when I get home. I need you to have an open mind. Ryan met True and the decision was immediate. The couple adopted him about one month after his surgery. They wanted to keep True's siblings close to him. Her sister adopted one of the siblings, her sister in law adopted another. A co worker adopted two more. Then Amy and husband Ryan opened their home again, adopting True's sister Laney. All six found homs. A new type of scan makes prostate cancer cells glow that could dramatically reduce the need for invasive biopsies. The technology is known as a PSMA pet slash CT scan. It works by using a molecule that binds to prostate cancer cells, causing them to light up as bright spots during imaging. That allows doctors to more clearly identify aggressive cancers while avoiding unnecessary procedures for low risk cases. Rostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in men, affecting about one in eight six hundred and sixty men were part of a study. Scans were able to identify men who either did not have cancer or had cancers so slow growing they were unlikely to cause harm. Those patients avoided biopsies entirely, while patients with positive scan results underwent more targeted biopsies. Congratulations to a
2:21 man who calls himself Mister World Records. Well. Johnny Cruz Buckingham aka Mister World Records set the record for reaching a speed of sixty nine miles an hour while skiing on asphalts. That's right, is the record for fastest towed asphalt skiing. Mister World Record said, I want to inspire my child Hurricane to set big goals and reach for the stars. Good news out of the Chester Zoo, a critically endangered rollaway monkey has successfully given birth just weeks after undergoing a groundbreaking surgical procedure that had never been performed on the species before. Messiah is a fifteen year old monkey and became the first rollaway monkey in captivity to under surgery after vets discovered a golf ball sized apsssenter foot. Messiah recovered well and went on to give birth to a healthy daughter named logirtha Pribabmate keeper Zoe said Messiah is a very experienced mom and she's parenting magnificently.
3:13 The fact Messiah's foot healed so well as a huge relief. If she'd had had a full imputation, we've been left with real questions about whether she could hold her offspring or continuing with her normal behaviors. Logurtha is the third rollaway monkey born at the zoo since the first successful captive birth in twenty twenty. There were only a handful of breeding femies across European zoos, including just one other in England and Johnny Mack why are we late for work this time? Well, you see, boss I was there on the train on Monday at two thirty in the afternoon and turkeys were spotted on the tracks just west of Staten Island Railway's Old Town station. An MTA spokesperson told the New York Daily News that the turkeys were eventually scattered after a multiple blasts of a train horn. However, turkeys were spotted on the tracks again around four pm.
3:59 Those turkeys also so scattered at the sound of a train horn. The Burroughs Wild Circuits are believed to be descended from several pets that were released into the wild in nineteen ninety nine. And those are five good news stories for Today
