Canadian neurosurgeon, Daniel McNeely, was about to go into surgery when he received an unusual request from his 8-year-old patient Jackson McKie. Jackson asked Dr McNeely if he could stitch up his teddy bear which was ripped. + “Patient asks if I can also fix teddy bear just before being put off to sleep… how could I say no?” McNeely wrote in a tweet. + As soon as Dr McNeely finished Jackson’s brain surgery, he went on to set up a small operating table for the teddy bear and made good on his promise. + “He’s one of the nicest human beings I’ve ever met,” Jackson’s father, Rick McKie, said about Dr McNeely. — h/t: Washington Post Photos: pdmcneely / Twitter ••• @globalpositivenews @globalpositivenews @globalpositivenews . . . #caring #heartwarming #positivepsychology #globalpositivenews #news #somegoodnews #tanksgoodnews #goodnewsmovement #Positivenews #positivenergy #positivity #onemillionactsofgood #entreprenuersipfacts #forbes #thegrowinginvestor #kindness #kindnessmatters #randomactsofkindness #actsofkindness #doctorsareheroes #doctors #respectdoctors #respect #neurosurgeon #stuffedanimals #kids #patientcare
