It was successfully removed: “Huang’s facial tumour became noticeable when he was 4 years old, the hospital said. It grew bigger ever more rapidly as he grew older, blocking his left eye, pushing his left ear to shoulder level, knocking out his teeth and deforming his backbone.”

You mean to tell me that people that go through a foreign medical training system can actually practice medicine?!? And here I thought we need the artificial supply side restrictions that have been put into place domestically. It is a wonder that these foreign physicians can tell one end of a scalpel from the other.
