Iraqi boy receives life-changing medical care with help from Michigan State

Mohammed, a 12-year-old Iraqi boy, was brought to mid-Michigan to receive life-changing medical care. He was burned as an infant by an exploding oil lamp in his home. Last fall, a Michigan Army National Guardsman befriended Mohammed in Iraq and brought him to Michigan, where he received medical care from a MSU doctor at Sparrow Hospital.
