Knee Surgery Gone Bad

Warning: This video is not for the squeamish. Marley Pratt was a 15-year-old, who had a total knee replacement due to metastasized lung cancer. Due to a malfunction in the surgical hardware, Marley's knee trick is more like a bizarre circus act or a gross yoga position. He owned it as a funny way of gambling for school lunch money.

Marley was an unusual kid. He looked at the world upside down, didn't talk until he was 5, and then baffled doctors as they tried to diagnose what was different about this child. Marley was healthy as an ox until he was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer. Given six months to live, Marley wouldn't give up—there were too many fun things to do, like riding his ATV, stunt bikes, horses, and anything else that went fast.

A book was written about Marley's life with cancer. Narrated by his mother, Marley Rides (www.MarleyRides.com) is a compelling and bitter sweet story that is sure to touch both your heart and your funny bone.

@magnusalexa It's easy to blame doctors and nurses, but they work within a system that is rife with politics. And, you know, some doctors really do care about people, they slug it through day-in, day-out. Not all doctors make a lot of money. Your average physician makes between 80-200k. It's comfortable, but with 80-100k in debt, plus insurance - it isn't a meal ticket for all of them. I know a lot of people in med school, and yes, some are greedy and lack moral principles, but not all of them.

doctors dont do it to help people, they do it to help themselves, IE wages. doctors and nurses should be doing their best to get the best treatment for patients, but most of them dont give a chit cannabis is illegal, the best treatment for many people. jus check medical marijuana, youll soon see that doctors and nurses most important thing to them is their wages, if peopel were more important to them theyd be campaigning for cannabis legalisation for medical use
