Video shows moment NC man blinded for 33 years sees again with bionic eye

Posted: Published on October 11th, 2014

DURHAM, N.C. This heartwarming video shows the moment a North Carolina man blinded for 33 years sees again with a bionic eye. The New York Daily News reported that Larry Hester lost his vision due to retinitis pigmentosa. But a new electronic system can help him see shapes and light. Duke Medicineposted the touching video to YouTube earlier this week. The YouTube description reads: Larry Hester, 66, has been blind for half his life from a condition called retinitis pigmentosa. In September, 2014, an electronic stimulator was surgically implanted in his left eye. On October 1st, 2014 Duke eye surgeon Dr. Paul Hahn turned it on for the first time. While the device does not restore vision in the normal sense, it provides light-and-darkness differentiation. Hes the seventh person in the United States to receive the visual aid since the device, known as the Argus II Retinal Prosthesis System, was approved by the FDA. Duke is only the fourth center in the country to implant the device since approval.

Posted: Published on October 11th, 2014

A DAD is aiming to encourage more parents to donate their babies umbilical cords, after his sons life was saved by a stem cell transplant. Whalley resident Sam Fletcher went through the most traumatic period of his life when his son, Charlie, now six, fell ill with a rare genetic disease called Fanconi Anemia last year. The disorder, which affects one in 350,000 people, meant Charlies immune system did not function properly and left him fighting for his life. MORE TOP STORIES: He spent 12 months in and out of Manchester Childrens Hospital, going through radiotherapy, chemotherapy and one unsuccessful bone marrow transplant. But eventually, Charlie, who goes to St Andrews School in Oswaldtwistle, received a successful transplant of stem cells from a donor umbilical cord, and was able to return to school in February. Now Mr Fletcher, 32, who runs Blackburn marketing agency Twentyone, is calling for more awareness about the potential for umbilical cords to save peoples lives.

ATLANTA (CBS46) - A Georgia doctor, stripped of her medical license earlier this year after the deaths of two patients in Cobb County, was hired and quickly fired from the Gov. Juan F. Luis Hospital in St. Croix, Virgin Islands, according to local news reports. The VI Consortium reported that Dr. Nedra Dodds was hired as an emergency room consultant at Luis Hospital on Sept. 17, 2014 -seven months after the Georgia Composite Medical Board suspended Dodd's license. In its order, the Board wrote Dodd's "continued practice of medicine poses a threat to the public health, safety and welfare." According to hospital CEO Dr. Kendall Griffith, Dodds was brought on to help improve customer service processes. Dodds' license suspension came after CBS46 News reported on the deaths of two women following plastic surgery procedures at Dodd's practice, Opulence Aesthetic Medicine in Kennesaw. CBS46 investigative reporter Adam Murphy also found Dodd's touted credentials that weren't valid. CBS46 confirmed that Dodds does not have a license to practice medicine in the U.S. Virgin Islands. According to the VI Consortium, Dr. Griffith admitted the hospital leadership did not perform a thorough background check of Dodds but insisted no patient was placed in danger. … Continue reading →
