Ahmed (R) and Mohamed Ibrahim (L), who are a little over two years old, will undergo surgery at Children's Medical Center of Dallas, Texas October 11, 2003, and they will be the first twins conjoined at the head to be surgically separated since two Iranian women joined at the head died in a Singapore hospital in July.

After 26 hours in the operating room, pediatric neurosurgeons successfully separated two-year-old Egyptian twins joined at the top of their heads on Sunday.

Excellent news! The medical expertice in our "free enterprise system" in the USA does it again! : )

Sadly enough, soon it will read "the United States Bureau of Medicine" lost another patient do to lack of interest in young people becoming Doctors for the lack of personal advancement financially do to government restrictions on Doctor income to help hold the tax structure to less than 70% to maintain the public's confidence in Government.

Then WE will be sending patients abroad for the best health care.

Whew, 26 hours...that is one he!! of a shift to work! I was impressed when I was taken care of in 8 hours!

God Bless these babies and let them grow up and lead normal lives.We ask in your name."Amen"

[livius]

Impressive work! I hope the rest goes as well as this part. And then all of the unpredictable things that can happen afterwards - well, they're definitely in God's hands. Prayers for them.

[Khurkris]

Amen.

I pray they don't become suicide bombers.

I hope these twp little guys recover..And I hope they can escape from Islam and live as free minds.

If we REALLY wanted to do them a favor, we would take them away from their two-faced Islamist jihad parents and adopt them out to a Christian family.

Whoa... Cheap shot.....Islam is NOT a bad religion. Unfortunately several people who happen to be Muslims give it a bad name. Please remember that!

[JoJo Gunn]

Perhaps you approve of a "religion" that forces women back into burning buildings because a little too much ankle was showing???

[ChemistCat]

That's not the religion that did that, any more than it's Christianity that makes Pat Robertson threaten to bomb federal agencies. Come ON.

[JoJo Gunn]

Come on what? Then what was it? A local custom?

[xm177e2]

I pray they don't become suicide bombers.

And now they can carry out twice as many attacks.

Thanks for the update!

Islam is NOT a bad religion

Like hell it's not ....
... maybe you should go do a little research on a pedophile founded religion before spouting off propaganda.

[Centurion2000]

And in Egypt's medical system they would have been denounced as Shaitan demonic influence and left to die.

[Dallas59]

Poor Pat. Same thing. I don't follow him. What I am waiting for is day when we in the US start fighting Mulsim
Separatists within our own borders because they do not believe in our form of Government.

No, you are wrong islam is evil. Unless you are a muslim it calls for your en-slavement or murder. In my book it is nothing but evil.
