The Beast Within
-
A young woman was increasingly losing her ability to function, but doctors couldn't really figure it out -- they thought they saw a cyst on her brain, or a tumor. So after her friends raised money in a GiveForward crowdfunding campaign, she went to a doctor who does radical "keyhole" surgeries to access brain tumors other surgeons won't touch, and he operated to save her life. When he did, he found... well, it wasn't a tumor, exactly. It was a teratoma. And what's that? It was an undeveloped twin with hair and teeth. Literally, an "evil twin," sort of. And now, she's going to be fine. This would make a great horror movie, wouldn't it? (Washington Post; KNBC-TV/Los Angeles)
