Missouri: The medical field is constantly surprised by the patients they treat on a daily basis but sometimes they have to give up hope and be realistic about the chances of survival. A US boy has surprised all the doctors that treated him by surviving a rare facial condition to become the only one in the world to do so.
According to a report in the Daily Mail, Missouri teen Tres Johnson has successfully complete another year of his life after being diagnosed with craniofacial duplication at the time of birth. The 13-year-old is the only known case to survive the condition among 36 other cases recorded in the world. He was initially given a zero chance of survival by the doctors who treated him for his condition which duplicates all parts of the face on the head.
Interestingly, he has undergone multiple operations to reshape his skull and correct the cleft lip but it is cannabis oil that has helped him reduce the number of seizures from 400 to literally just 40, which is a big improvement. While his parents Brandy and Joshua have heard a lot from strangers, they have kept their hopes up and taken one day at a time with him and it has proved to work successfully for him.
India Tribune, as an English weekly newspaper, was launched in 1977 in Chicago by its publisher Prashant Shah with a lofty ideal to serve the Asian Indian community in the USA. Over the years, it has grown with all vigor, and now it is being published in three editions – Chicago, New York and Atlanta. India Tribune, a journal of its kind for the family in the USA, has been a household name for many Indians for over three decades with each issue commanding a readership of over 125,000.
