A guy who got a pig kidney last year finally got a human one. 67-year-old Tim Andrews received a genetically modified pig kidney one year ago this month, and had it for a record 271 days. He’s diabetic and had end-stage kidney disease. They removed the pig kidney in October, and he went back on dialysis, but he finally got a call last week that they’d found a “near-perfect match” for him. The surgery happened last Tuesday……………. A 12-year-old British boy Zac Howells saved his mom by intentionally crashing their car into a guardrail. She had a medical episode and passed out behind the wheel with her foot on the gas. Zac managed to slow the car down, then stop it by crashing it into a barrier. He called 999 . . . their 911 . . . and stayed calm the whole time. You can even hear him keeping his mom calm when she starts waking up……
