It happened in early 2018 at the Oregon College of Health and Science in Portland, Oregon (USA). 26-year-old medical student Warren Nielsen and four friends in the group prepare to perform the surgery of the donated body in the autopsy room. The body that the Nielsen group operated on was that of Rose Marie Bentley, who died in 2017 at the age of 99. Rose died of natural causes, not illness or accident. Before her death, she expressed her wish to donate her body to medicine. The woman with visceral reversal and was the longest living person with the condition ever recorded. But as soon as she operated the donated body of Mrs. Bentley, Warren Nielsen and his group were very shocked. They felt something was very strange because what they saw seemed completely contrary to the theory learned in the syllabus. “ I know something happened, but it took us a while to determine the composition of her organs “, says Cameron Walker anatomy professor at the Oregon College of Health and Science. “ Bentley’s veins are on the left side, instead of pouring directly into the heart. Her veins continued across the diaphragm, along the thoracic vertebrae, up and around on the aorta before pouring into the right side of the heart. Our normal bodies are never like that “, Walker explained. A live image of Mrs. Bentley. It was not the only anomaly that surgeon Cameron Walker and his students found in Mrs. Bentley’s body. Her right lung had only two lobes, instead of the usual three, while her heart’s right atrium was twice the size of normal. A series of questions were asked: Why is Mrs. Bentley’s stomach on the right side and not the left side? Her liver is on the left, not the right side? Likewise, is the spleen on the right side instead of the left and organs that should be in the abdomen found in the chest cavity? And there are many other abnormalities inside the body, including part of the stomach protruding from the diaphragm and strange veins … Why? The cause of Bentley’s internal upheaval may come from a congenital condition called Situs inversus – in which most of the vital organs are reversed, almost like a mirror inside the body. The picture shows abnormalities in the internal position of Mrs. Bentley. That, along with a host of other bizarre anomalies, make Mrs. Bentley a “mutant” and it will make her name recorded in the history of world literature. This strange mutation can occur between days 30 and 45 of pregnancy, he added, but no one knows why. It is estimated that for every 10,000-22,000 births, only one will experience Situs inversus. Due to heart defects, only 5% to 13% of those children live beyond the age of 5 years. Records have been documented in a boy who lived to the age of 13 and one who lived until the age of 73. The reversal of the internal organs will affect the health of the person who has it, so the majority of children with Situs inversus do not survive to adulthood. So the fact that Mrs. Bentley lived to the age of 99 is almost an unbelievable miracle. Mutants with normal life Photo: Internet Mrs. Bentley has 5 children, 14 grandchildren, 31 great-grandchildren and 11 children, but no one, not even the 99-year-old old lady, knows about the strange mystery inside her body. Louise Allee, one of Mrs. Bentley’s five children, shared that her mother was a lover of science. Perhaps that is the reason why Mrs. Bentley decided to dedicate her body to research. “ My mom will think that’s a great thing she can do. She will smile in heaven when she learns about her difference, especially when the difference is so meaningful. “Said Louise Allee. An image of a young Mrs. Bentley. “ Despite suffering from chronic heartburn (possibly due to the abnormal stomach position) my mother never complained of any discomfort in her body. We have no reason to believe there was such a strange thing in my mother’s body. My mother is always very healthy. She often took us to Campfire Girls, fishing, swimming. My mother deserves to be a great swimmer “Mrs. Bentley’s third child, Ginger Robbins, said. In fact, there was a time when a doctor was unable to locate the appendix for Mrs. Bentley. At that time, the doctor only noted the family that her appendix was in an unusual position. The doctor also did not check on other organs, so things gradually went into oblivion.

From April 1, lottery ticket sellers in the South have their commission cut. Before being cut, they will earn 1,100 VND for each lottery ticket sold, but from the beginning of April until now, they only get 1,050 VND, while the effort is still so hard.

50 dong that the lottery ticket seller lost, was “run” to the agent’s pocket.

On average, every day, in Ho Chi Minh City, a lottery ticket seller must be extremely hard-working and hard-working, to sell 200 tickets. With the loss of 50 VND per sheet, now their income is lost 10,000 VND per day, the monthly spending is 300,000 VND.

In Ho Chi Minh City, there are about 100,000 people selling lottery tickets like that. Multiply by the amount of 300,000 VND each month that they lose, is the corresponding amount that the agent has added: about 30 billion VND. Obviously, the number would be even larger than that, if the whole South was combined.

So, who tried to eat more from the sales of the lottery ticket sellers? Agent level 2, level 3 said that due to the above. “Above” means tier 1 agent or lottery company. But the lottery company says it does not increase the selling price, does not adjust the commission. With the available data, we understand that the problem arises from the tier 1 agent.

The adjustment of the tier 1 agent affects the revenue of the 2nd and 3rd agent. In order to preserve their profit before, the 2nd and 3rd agent fling to the thin shoulders of the ticket sellers. number of strolls. These weak people suffer.

Coming here, not intentionally insulting, but I have to say that the lottery sellers like a donkey carrying things up the slope, when they are too tired, they just need to squeeze more shirts, they will kneel. When the donkey is unable to wake up, the owner must himself, or find another way to bring things home, while if they take the trouble to bring the shirt, it will not be in that situation.

More than anyone, it is the agents who understand that the profits they get are from the lottery ticket sellers, if the agents cannot share them, they should not pour it all on the shoulders of the lottery sellers. stroll. The payout, the seemingly wasted profit, is just the product of their greedy thoughts.

I suddenly remembered the story of yesterday, on the bank of Thi Nghe canal, at a sidewalk restaurant where I used to have lunch. A 78-year-old woman from Long An came to Ho Chi Minh City to sell lottery tickets, stopped at a restaurant, and she sat across from me. I said that the owner of the shop would pay the grandmother’s part of the meal, two plates cost 50 thousand dong, or 25 thousand dong each.

But then, the shopkeeper gave the old woman 20 thousand dong. It turns out, up until now, the shopkeeper has only taken money for his meal, or other lottery ticket sellers, has 5 thousand dong for a plate of rice. The old lady seemed shy, and only relieved when I told her to keep that small amount of money.

To the lottery ticket sellers, 10 thousand is an amount of money that they have to work hard to get, and it is also a relative expenditure of their already reserved need.

I really do not understand why the poor, like the story I just told above, try to share each other, then the lottery agent is trying to redeem the extra money that the lottery ticket seller can only get. . Even more confusing, when it comes to reiterating that, the agents know that the revenue they get is thanks to the people selling lottery tickets.

So when they further tore apart the results of the lottery ticket sellers, not only were they greedy, but also ruthless.

And I think the lottery companies have to do something, but can’t say it’s not me as if they could not be, because after all, the lottery companies themselves are fed by the hard work of lottery ticket sellers.

Especially in the context, the sales and profits of lottery companies are constantly increasing!

The grandmother said that she herself has always loved the classic designs and kept them throughout the 1960s up to now.
