An eight month old Iraqi girl is still in danger, but doctors in Columbus are fighting to save her life, thanks to the persistence of an Ohio doctor. Lt. Col. Todd Fredericks, who’s serving near the Iraq-Iran border, met Fatemeh Hassan when her mother sought treatment for a growth on her neck – it’s the size of two softballs, and it’s threatening her breathing. Fredericks called a friend at Children’s Hospital in Columbus, and told Ohio Public Radio’s Karen Kasler that the hospital, the US military and many other agencies moved into action to get the infant to Ohio. |
