Body oddity
The human body is an amazing machine, missing limbs to survival stories,
medical miracles and so much more.
Check out this amazing story about 10 year old Dugan Smith. Dugan,
when faced with a rare form of cancer,
decided to beat all the odds to continue his love of baseball.

Dugan had a procedure called a rotationplasty in which
his lower leg was detached, turned 180 degrees, and reattached higher, allowing
his ankle muscles and ligaments to do the job of his knee. With his ankle
serving as a backwards knee, he is able to use his foot in a prosthetic and
have more control. This is one inspiring kid! by Magalie
