    My father’s a neurosurgeon and he actually helped separate a pair of Filipino craniopagus twins who were sent to the US for surgery. It’s truly amazing how much surgeons (and all healthcare workers) can do to heal people.

      Most surgeries of this magnitude are covered by the hospital itself. These are pretty experiemental procedures with fairly high morbidity rates, so they aren't going to have parents pay for something their child might not survive, especially if it's not a proven 100% set in stone procedure like this one. Procedures like these change all the time.

      Indeed! My little sister needed a pretty serious brain surgery back in 2001, and while the media gave all credit to the surgeon, the ones who my sister interacted with the most were the nurses, who came to love her. When she needed to return for another surgery a few years later, all the old nurses rushed into her room to see how she had grown and improved. They even called in nurses who had moved on to other hospitals and one who retired. It really was like she was everybody's little sister in that children's hospital. So many staff get personally, emotionally involved. Bless our nurses, techs, and doctors.

    I really respect these surgeon’s philosophical approach “innovation not for innovation’s sake but to help kids.” You would be SHOCKED at how many doctors in this field don’t feel this way.
    I did a research project on conjoined twins and discovered that Ben Carson has actually separated a few sets. One, I believe in the 90’s where the twins lived but one was brain damaged and his quality of life was very low. At the time, Carson said it was not a successful surgery because the twins did not maintain a good quality of life. Then later in his career he performed a similar surgery where both twins sadly died. And he said the surgery was a success because they learned so much. It benefited science so much. This change in his perspective over his career has always disturbed me a lot.

    Modern surgery is so much less invasive than surgery even 10-20 years ago! I had a small tumor in my colon and the surgeon took it out with an endoscopy tool on a robotic surgery unit. Granted the unit looked straight out of an alien space ship ready to probe patients (which it does in a way) but before it’s invention and use in surgery, patients like me had to have a fully open abdominal surgery with a colostomy bag installed and several months of recovery. Compare that to the couple of months I took to recover without needing a colostomy bag and it’s just amazing!

      I'm more than certain that they couldn't have afforded to afford that operation if they'd saved up for 1000 years! Maybe they could have afforded the plane tickets, but that's about it. American "Health Care" is beyond CrAzY Expensive and just laying in a hospital bed costs over $500 a day, and that's not EVEN adding in an aspirin. You'd probably have to double the cost if you REALLY NEEDED to add in an aspirin tablet!
      I would guess the cost for the whole surgery would EASILY EXCEED a million dollars, not including the Doctors bills. And there were 2 Main Dr.s, and no telling how many others involved, though I wouldn't be at all surprised if the entire surgical team could have exceeded 20 people.
      If you think about it, that might have added up to Real Money 💵💰💵💰! Maybe $20 or $30 dollars more!

      I wouldn't be able to guess the overall effect on her body, but I imagine that she had the twins via C-section. Her OB/GYN would have known very early on that they were conjoined, and would have begun the process of getting them delivered safely.

      God that sounds like an absolute nightmare if it were to happen outside of a medical setting. I imagine prior to modern medicine, being pregnant with conjoined twins would have been fatal to the mother quite often.

      @@merrymachiavelli2041 I was just thinking that even in a medical setting (even with a c section) it would be difficult since it's essentially delivering 2 ppl at once connected via one body

    So in laments terms:
    Step 1: Pull them apart very slowly
    Step 2: Tie a band around the conjoined area like shepherds do to castrate sheep
    Step 3: Do the surgery

    The thing that amazes me the most about the human body is the distraction osteogenesis
    Someone i know had most of his lower leg remade using this feature of the body
    We can actually regrow bone, we just need to direct it to regrow it correctly, you can have your arm almost destroyed and you may actually get it back
    Maybe there is a way to grow a whole new hand or leg if we continue to advance this kind of technique
