Charla Nash: Stamform, Conn. Victim of a 200 lb Chimpanzee attack was brave enough to reveal her disfigured face on the Oprah Winfrey Show yesterday. Charla Nash said she was no longer in pain and prefers to put the awful accident behind her.

“I don’t remember [The attack]. I don’t want to … I want to get healthy. I don’t want to wake up with nightmares.”

In the February 16 attack, Nash lost both of her hands and most of the bone structure of her face, including her nose, lips and eyelids.

“Doctors have been able to reattach one of her thumbs, which Winfrey gently shook at the end of the interview.”

Sneezy Girl: Lauren Johnson, a 12-year-old girl from Virginia, developed a sneezing condition as she was recovering from a cold several weeks ago. She has been sneezing up to 12,000 times a day, non-stop.

“It’s pretty hard — I have to kind of be physically exhausted before I can, because I just sneeze and sneeze until I eventually can hold off for a couple of seconds before I can go to sleep,” Lauren said.

Dr. Clifford Bassett, allergist and immunologist in Brooklyn, NY, told Good Morning America that Lauren is likely suffering from a condition known as “machine-gun sneezing.”

“The condition is rare and can develop from a range of sources, including allergies or growths within the nasal passage.”

Dr. Pierre Renelique: A Florida OBGYN with a revoked license for botched abortion of a 23 week fetus, with only the receptionist in the room for delivery. Upon arriving for the procedure late, Dr. Renelique signed and approved the required paperwork as if he preformed the ‘dilation and extraction.”

With a revoked license in Florida, Dr. Pierre Renelique moved to Bronx, NY where he previously had 5 malpractice cases against him.

“Fox 5’s Arnold Diaz tracked him down for an exclusive report.”

Judge Slams The Brakes On Dr. Christopher Thomas Thompson

Irving

Dr. Christopher Thomas Thompson, an emergency room doctor who spent more than twenty years working at Beverly Hospital in Montebello, has been found guilty of deliberately slamming on his brakes, sending two cyclists into the back of his car.

A Los Angeles Superior Court jury on Monday found Dr. Thompson guilty of assaulting cyclists by abruptly stopping his car in front of them on a hilly Los Angeles County road last year.

He was found guilty on two counts of reckless driving, two counts of battery, two counts of assault with a deadly weapon, and one count of mayhem and could face as much as five years in prison.

Ron Peterson, one of the cyclists, testified that Thompson drove past him and a fellow bicyclist on a narrow stretch of Mandeville Canyon Road in Brentwood, honked his horn and yelled at them to “ride single-file.”

Peterson testified that he yelled an expletive at Thompson. That’s when Thompson swerved in front of the bikers and hit the brakes, Peterson testified.

Somer Thomson was kidnapped while on her way home from school and a massive search was held until her lifeless body was found among 225 tons of garbage.

A preliminary autopsy was performed and confirmed her identity as the 7-year-old Florida girl that went missing on Monday, while walking home with her twin brother and older sister. Additional details of the autopsy have not been released yet but will be instrumental in steering investigation in the right direction of who is involved in her homicide.

Somer Thomson’s family is mourning the loss of their daughter:

“I don’t think they deserve to live,” said Diena Thomson, Somer’s mother.

Julie Andrews, in 1997, was left unable to sing after “a botched surgery operation to remove nodules in her throat.” Since 2000, Andrews has been working with her voice coach Dr. Steven Zeitels and MIT Professor Robert Langer to figure out a cure to regain her singing voice.

“The Sound of Music” legend is now undergoing major surgery that will involve ‘injecting man-made tissue into her larynx,” in order to restore the elasticity the vocal cords once had. The research shows that after two years, it is believed she will be able to sing again.

“So far the animal trials have been promising. It appears safe in animals. We hope we can start a clinical trial on this gel in a year or two. I don’t want to promise we’ll do it on Julie Andrews but she has been a big proponent of it. She has been a great supporter. She came into our office and explained that she cannot hold a note because of scarring,” said Dr. Zeitels

According to Vitals.com, Dr. Steven Zeitels, Otolaryngologist in Boston, MA is also one of Castle Connoly’s America’s Top Doctors.
