MIAMI–A 14-year-old Haitian girl underwent a rare operation Wednesday to remove much of a 16-pound tumor-like growth on her face that all but obliterated her features. Doctors at Holtz Children’s Hospital finished operating on Marlie Casseus about 11:40 p.m., nearly 16 hours after the procedure began. The surgery is the first of many she will have to undergo.
Prayer did not save her.
Sacrifice did not save her.
Ritual did not save her.
Science saved her.
Science is cool.
And it saves lives.
