American doctors operate to help boy mauled by animal
Many international correspondents were waiting at Seattle Airport for the 2-year-old boy whose leg and genitals had been ravaged by an animal and who came to the US for an operation. After the surgery at Dartmouth Hospital, the boy, Phung Thien Nhan, could urinate normally.
 
 
 
Destiny's child
Abandoned at birth by his teenage mother in an uninhabited area of Quang Nam province, Phung Thien Nhan somehow survived, despite all the odds. Phung Thien Nhan was born on July 15, 2006. His mother was just 17 years old and had no desire to be burdened with this child. Instead she covered the newly born infant under a pile of papaya leaves and bamboo and left him to fate. Somewhere on the side of a hill in Tam Thach commune, Nui Thanh district in Quang Nam province he laid for three days until a group of locals came across him.
