Author: Prakhar Setthi This man is on the next freaking level. Dr. Oluyinka Olutoye is a physician of Nigerian origin. He has become extremely well known on social media because of the next to-impossible feat he has achieved! This Texas-based doctor successfully operated a surgery on an unborn baby. Yes, you read that right. The unborn child had a tumour, and it certainly had to be removed for the baby to survive. So, guess what this madlad did? He removed the fetus from the mother’s womb, operated on it to remove the tumour, and then restored the fetus into the womb! The fetus was safe, and the mom’s pregnancy continued until she gave birth in the usual 36th week of pregnancy. I don’t know about you, but the fact that an unborn being could be removed from the womb, performed surgery on, AND placed back into the mother, safe and sound just blows my mind. Doctors, especially doctors like these, just aren’t appreciated enough. This man literally performed a miracle, and gave this family ...

Author: Awdhesh Singh A man was travelling through a muddy road when his car got suddenly trapped in the pool of mud. He tried very hard to move but his car failed to come out of it. Suddenly, he saw a villager coming toward him in his bullock cart. Once the bullock cart came near, he requested him to pull his car out of mud. A deal of Rs 100 was negotiated between them for the work and the villager pulled the car using his bullocks. The man felt greatly relieved and paid him the money. He then asked the villager, “There may be so many cars that would be getting trapped in this mud.” Villager: “True sir. You are the seventh person since morning whose car got trapped in this mud.” Man: “Oh my God! Did you have to pull all of them.” Villager: “Yes Sir.” Man: “You must be busy full day pulling the cars from the mud having no time to do your own work.” Villager: “Very True Sir. I have to do all my work in night only.” Man: “Oh I see! By the way, what work you do in night.” Villager: “I jus...

Author: Odedra Vijay   This photo was taken while I was working, since morning. No retakes, no filters, nothing. I grabbed the phone, and took photo. And this is how most of the farmers around me look like. But, this is how movies portray us, most of the times. Poor, helpless, uneducated and not modern. Image | The Hindu Although it isn't wrong, totally. Because India is a vast country and with that comes differences in population of farmers. But, this portrayal leads to misconceptions among some “stupid” People. Someone, after seeing my Quora profile picture, said that I can't be a farmer and I'm lying. Contrary to stereotypical image of us, we dress as per ocassion.

Author: Ethan James At the age of 81 years old, Albert Poland Jr. had lived as full a life as one can live. A true family man, Poland had retired after 45 years working at a factory in Tennessee. Having raised two kids to adulthood successfully, he and his wife Virginia were peacefully living out their retirement when tragedy struck. You see, Albert Poland suffered from both Alzheimer’s and dementia, both of which significantly deteriorated his brain function. And one fateful day, a piece of (sadly) living human garbage decided to take advantage of this man’s vulnerability. Dementia Makes You Vulnerable It all started in 2011, when Albert’s home phone rang, with a call from a Jamaican number. When he picked up, the person on the other end of the line gave him some seemingly great news: he had just won $3 million dollars! Desperate to pay off his son’s mortgage and take care of his family, Albert must have been so happy when he got that call. Even in his weakened ment...
