Kentucky Doctor Forgets Grandchild in Hot Car For 8 Hours Resulting in Her Death

I was just watching the documentary, Fatal Distraction the 2020 documentary film that explores the high-profile 2014 hot-car death of 22-month-old Cooper Harris and the subsequent murder trial of his father, Justin Ross Harris, in Atlanta, Georgia.

I’ll admit, I watched the documentary while judging the parents because I just couldn’t understand how you could forget your child in the backseat.

In all fairness, after hearing this story, I can see how something like this could happen to a doctor because of their busy schedules. Either way it’s still a sad tragedy. I can’t imagine how devastated the grandmother is especially given that she dedicates her entire life to saving lives.

A Kentucky family is grieving an unimaginable loss after 10-month-old Scottie Crowell died when she was reportedly forgotten inside a vehicle for nearly eight hours.

Scottie’s grandmother, Dr. Stacey Fazenbaker, picked her up Thursday morning and was supposed to take her to daycare before going to work in Madisonville. Scottie’s father later arrived at the daycare to pick her up—only to learn she had never been dropped off. He contacted his wife, who immediately called her mother. Dr. Fazenbaker reportedly received the call while at work and rushed outside with coworkers.

Luigi Mangione Pleads Guilty to Murder; Receives More Donations

The federal case against “America’s Boyfriend” just took another unexpected twist as Luigi Mangione has now pled guilty to murder citing past injury and difficulties navigating the health care system.

Despite pleading guilty to stalking and murdering father and health care CEO Brian Thompson, Mangione’s defense fund donations spiked again to a whopping $1.56 million with many of his supporters still deeming him a Robin Hood.

Very strange times.

Gruesome Photo of Woman Receiving Cervical Cancer Treatment in Year 1920

In 1920, cancer treatment looked nothing like it does today.

A woman with advanced cervical cancer lay on a hospital bed with her legs supported by fabric slings as physicians directed X-rays toward the affected area. There were no CT scans, computerized treatment plans, or modern radiation machines. Radiation therapy was still in its early stages, and doctors were only beginning to understand how to use this new technology.

For many patients, options were extremely limited.

Early radiation treatments sometimes showed promising results by shrinking tumors or relieving symptoms, but they also carried significant risks. Without today’s precise imaging, dose planning, and safety standards, patients could experience serious side effects as physicians learned through experience how to balance effectiveness with safety.

This remarkable photograph captures a pivotal moment in medical history. Every patient and physician who took part in these early treatments helped expand knowledge that would eventually transform cancer care.
