Born with two heads.

Egyptian baby girl Manar Maged was born with a second head which shows signs of consciousness but is a parasite, living from Manar's blood. Her hopes of survival seemed slim but she survived until 10 months old despite having seven heart attacks. The hospital decide to operate to remove the parasitic head. Dr. Hefnawi of the Benha Children's Hospital where Manar has lived since birth decides to broadcast the operation live on t.v. to raise the profile of the hospital and get them more money. Surgeon, Lotfy, is not happy about this. Manar loses so much blood during surgery she has to have four times her own volume in transfused blood. The operation (shown here in some detail) takes 13 hours. After a long recovery, Manar, her mother, and the hospital medical team travel to US to appear on the Oprah Winfrey show. Manar goes home to live but needs constant care and has clearly suffered some brain damage.
