This may sound sick,,, but I hope that the medical staff got this whole thing on video...As sad as it is for the little girls family,,what a teaching, and learning tool the surgery would be...

....yeah, what a learning tool.....maybe someone can be a specialist on this surgery by studying the video....he'd be about as busy as a dead maytag repair man.

I don't know; seen a lot of folk that need their second head removed, starting with Clinton. Some others need their primary extracted. Tragic; but hopefully very rare. I'd hate to see such births becomea trend.

That's too bad...I was rooting for the little bugger. I guess they had to try, though.

What a story. I would have to agree with Hunterman, if the video was made that would be one heck of a learning tool for Med. students who want to be surgans. Even though I don't think having 2 heads is real common, but the conjoined twin thing is more common. Anyways thanks for sharing the story with us Bill.
