Amateur Internet video helps save girl`s life

User-generated Internet videos have fundamentally reshaped how politicians campaign for votes and businesses promote their products in South Korea and worldwide. Now they may just start to save lives.

Lee Ayun, 4, draws a heart with her arms after surgery. A medical device is fixed over her face to help her fight post-surgery pain




Four-year-old Lee Ayun came close to death last year when her family could not afford surgery to remove huge tumors from her face despite occasional financial support from the hospital and a couple of children's foundations.

The child has been suffering from an extremely rare condition known as gigantiform cementoma -- less than 20 documented cases around the world -- since age two, when bone tissue underneath her teeth started growing uncontrollably, covering her face and blocking her windpipes.
