      <title>Detroit; Democrat State Representative Misses Over 1/3 of House Sessions, Runs for Mayor of Detroit and Touts His Record</title>

      <description>State Rep. Olumba has missed over a third of House sessions

SOUTHFIELD, Mich. (WJBK) -In the  movies , Ferris Buehler was famous for playing hooky. Here in Michigan, we have our own real life Ferris Buehler, and his name is John Olumba.

If you are asking who is John Olumba, here is a better question. Where is John Olumba?

Olumba holds a seat in the Michigan House of Representatives, but he does not always use it. Even his fellow Democrats are buzzing.

On March 6, Representative Sam Singh tweeted, &quot;Looking for my new seat mate.&quot;

A day later, Singh zinged, &quot;The watch continues: A Samuel Beckett sequel &quot;Waiting for Olumba.&quot;

&quot;I'm not the one who likes to hide in Lansing behind taking votes,&quot; Olumba said.

Olumba would rather hang out in Detroit. In fact, he is running for mayor. Talk about a full-time job!

&quot;The people of the city of Detroit trust me because of the work that I've put in,&quot; Olumba said.

Olumba sure talks a good  game . Last year, he told The Michigan Citizen the top two issues for Detroiters are &quot;work ethic&quot; and the &quot;integrity of public officials.&quot;

His campaign literature says he is &quot;industrious,&quot; &quot;diligent&quot; and &quot;hard- working.&quot; However, when we checked, we found that he was hardly working.

On May 21, instead of going to work, Olumba watered the grass. A few hours later, he was sporting his snazzy Olumba for Mayor T-shirt and posing for photos.

The next day he was just late for work, but first came a very important meeting on his porch with his wife. Then it was back to work on the lawn. After all, that grass is not going to water itself!

We caught up with Olumba outside his Detroit office to get some answers, and surprise, he was running late.

M.L. Elrick to Olumba: Shouldn't you be in Lansing right about now?

Olumba: I'm headed to Lansing right now.

Elrick: You've got the worst attendance in the entire state House.

Olumba: But my voting record speaks for itself.

Fair enough, so I checked the official record, the House journal.

A Fox 2 analysis found that as of May 29, the attendance rate for Michigan House members averaged nearly 99 percent.
Olumba scored around 65 percent.

He has missed more than a third of the House sessions this year, failing to show up at least 17 times, and when he did bother to make the scene, he was often late. He has more than a dozen tardies.

According to MichiganVotes.org, Olumba also failed to vote more than 50 times. Again, that is more misses than any other lawmaker.

The guy in second place is Senator Bruce Caswell, who missed 41 votes. If that sounds bad, consider that the Republican from Holland had a really good excuse. He was in the hospital having hernia surgery, and even then, he limped back to Lansing so he would only miss two days of work.

Olumba admitted that he misses votes, but said he is there for the important ones.

&quot;I've never missed a vote that pertains to Detroit or is important to Detroit,&quot; Olumba told us.

Zach Gorchow said that is just not true.

&quot;He's missed votes on the budget, Detroit Public Schools, City of Detroit, revenue sharing for the City of Detroit,&quot; he told us.

Gorchow is the editor of the Gongwer news service, which scrutinizes the actions of lobbyists and lawmakers in Lansing. Gongwer reported last month that the powerful Appropriations Committee almost booted Olumba for missing a meeting, but a colleague asked to excuse him &quot;So Mr. Olumba would not get kicked off.&quot;

Gorchow said Olumba missed another Appropriations Committee meeting earlier this year, and it was a doozy.

&quot;It was the one where they were working on the finalization of the budget. So to not be there for that, you're basically missing maybe the most important meeting they'll have all year,&quot; he told us.

Still, Olumba said he is not a slacker.

Olumba to Elrick: I work overtime,&quot; he told us. &quot;When I come back home from Lansing, I'm right back at the community meetings.

Elrick: There are people who say you don't put in a full day, let alone working overtime.

Olumba: That's their opinion, but my constituency will speak otherwise.

Now there is an interesting theory. To test Mr. Olumba, we went to a spot just down the street from his district office.

Elrick to Yvonne Woody: Do you know anything about the lawmaker John Olumba, who is your state representative?

Woody: Never heard of him.

Elrick to Clyde Bevelle: He says he's the hardest working man in Lansing and that people in his district know who he is.

Bevelle: I don't know him. I never heard of him. He's a foreigner here. He's an alien. ... If I knew him, I'd let you know about it.

Elrick to David Hayes: If a man misses a lot of work and misses a lot of votes, do you still think that makes him hard-working?

Hayes: Hey, from what I know this guy works hard and take care of business.

Elrick: His business or your business?

Hayes: His business, our business, everybody's business. Just know John Olumba is all right.

Olumba to Elrick: I really like to spend time with my constituency.

Elrick: So who did you meet with today?

Olumba: I met with my father.

Olumba's attendance is an issue for Detroiters, who deserve a strong voice in Lansing, and every Michigan taxpayer. After all, it is our tax dollars paying Olumba's salary of more than $71,000.  However, that is not all Olumba gets. He can also collect more than $10,000 in expenses. The problem here is that those payments are paid on the assumption that Olumba actually goes to work.

      <title>Despite spinal cord &lt;span class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;surgery&lt;/span&gt;, Marine continues to push forward on third combat deployment</title>
      <pubDate>Thu, 13 Jun 2013 21:57:12 -0400</pubDate>

      <description>The drive to become a Marine and gain acceptance into the tight-knit family is what drove SSgt Monica Paz to enlist during July 2000. 

 A veteran of two previous combat deployments to Iraq, Paz is currently serving as the accounting division chief and squadron support division chief for Marine Aviation Logistics Squadron 16, 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing (Forward), in Helmand province, Afghanistan.

 

 &quot;I originally wanted to go to college, but I really wasn't set on what I wanted to study and didn't want to waste my parents' money,&quot; said Paz, from Miami. &quot;The Marine Corps was the hardest. It seemed like it was the most challenging branch of the military. I didn't want to regret something that I didn't do, and my mother always encouraged me to go ahead and accomplish something no matter how hard it was.&quot;

 

 When Paz left for  recruit training , she had no idea what her  job  would be in the Marine Corps.

 

 &quot;My main focus was, 'I'm going to be a Marine.' I didn't care what job they gave me,&quot; Paz said.

 

 Although Paz came in with an open contract, she has worked to become a proficient leader along with being skilled at her job.

 

 &quot;As a Marine, she's top notch,&quot; said MGySgt Robert Mena, aviation supply chief with MALS-16, 3rd MAW (Fwd). &quot;She's well rounded and embodies the whole Marine concept. She definitely has a very positive  staff noncommissioned officer  future ahead of her. She's a mentor to a lot of Marines. She's fantastic at her job, and I couldn't ask for anything better. She's motivated and is constantly seeking improvement and trying to make processes better. I always admire SNCOs who try to streamline processes for their Marines.&quot;

 

 During her 12 years in the Marine Corps, Paz's most difficult tour was her time as a drill instructor at  Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island , S.C. Paz reported to the drill field during July 2007. Paz noted both the mental and physical challenges associated with becoming a drill instructor.

 

 &quot;It was the toughest thing I have ever done,&quot; Paz said &quot;In my mind, it's harder than deploying. Physically it hurt. It was one of the biggest sacrifices I've ever had to make both to my time and my body, and mentally, it was hard.&quot;

 

 Paz credits her desire to be a drill instructor to her former drill instructors.

 

 &quot;My drill instructors are what motivated me to follow in their footsteps,&quot; Paz said. &quot;I saw them, and they were extremely tough. They didn't allow us to be mediocre, and they pushed us to the limit. I know that they changed my life.&quot;

 

 Since leaving the drill field, Paz has run into several of her former recruits both in garrison and while deployed to Afghanistan.

 

 &quot;It's really good when you get to see former recruits be successful,&quot; Paz said. &quot;Even if they don't re-enlist and decide to get out, they're on the right path to having  successful futures . They've gained a lot of knowledge being in the Marine Corps.&quot;

 

 Sgt Brenna Aspera, a radio chief with Marine Wing Support Squadron 373, 3rd MAW (Fwd), is a former recruit of Paz's and was able to see her former drill instructor while deployed to Afghanistan.

 

 &quot;It's pretty cool because the Marine Corps is pretty small, so being able to run into someone you knew from so long ago out here in Afghanistan is crazy,&quot; Aspera said.

 

 Aspera has plans of becoming a drill instructor herself and said she will try to mirror Paz's dedication.

 

 &quot;I was actually thinking about becoming a drill instructor because I need to do a (secondary billet) soon,&quot; Aspera said. &quot;I will definitely try to emulate Sgt Paz and what she was as a drill instructor. She was a good drill instructor. She was definitely somebody to look up to.&quot;

 

 After completing her tour on the drill field, Paz found out she had an issue with her spine.

 

 &quot;For a moment I thought I was done with the Marine Corps,&quot; Paz said. &quot;I thought that I wouldn't be able to stay in. I had spinal cord surgery after completing my time in the drill field and finding out I had a serious spinal cord problem. They had to go in there and take out bits of my spine and everything. So it's been very hard to get back physically to where I am now.&quot;

 

 Despite her spinal cord injury, Paz will continue to push forward in the Marine Corps and hopes to serve 20 years before pursuing a job as a pharmacist.

 

 &quot;It crosses every Marine's mind whether they want to stay in for the full 20 years or get out,&quot; Paz said. &quot;It crossed my mind once or twice. But just the thought of waking up in the morning and not putting on my uniform or never being able to go to a Marine Corps Ball again just didn't feel right.&quot;

 

 During this deployment, Paz was working near the flight line when Camp Bastion was attacked, Sept. 14.

 

 &quot;I was on the flight line when the Bastion attack was happening,&quot; Paz said. &quot;It was very real. Being in the air wing, it's not very common for us to go through something like that. It was definitely an eye opener, but once everything was said and done and you saw how the Marines reacted, you witnessed that they did good things and what you taught them in boot camp still sticks with them to this day. They weren't afraid and they just did what they had to do.&quot;

 

 While deployed to Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom, Paz will continue to look after the funding and ensure MALS-16 has enough equipment to accomplish their mission.

 

  

 

* Motivated to become a Marine and defend her country, Staff Sgt. Monica Paz, a Miami native, enlisted in the Marine Corps during July 2000. A veteran of two previous combat deployments to Iraq, Paz is currently serving as the accounting division chief and squadron support division chief for Marine Aviation Logistics Squadron 16, 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing (Forward), in Helmand province, Afghanistan.</description>

      <title>Man sues doctor after &lt;span class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;surgery&lt;/span&gt; leaves him with eight-month erection  </title>

      <description>By: Anna Edwards - DailyMail - Uk June 12 2013

A truck driver is suing a doctor after he was left with an erection that lasted for eight months and a scrotum the size of a volleyball following penile implant surgery.

Daniel Metzgar, 44, had the surgical procedure in 2009.  This week, a medical malpractice lawsuit a heard claims that the surgery had been botched.

The Newark truck driver's attorney, Michael C. Heyden, told a court that everyday tasks - such as riding in his motorbike or collecting his newspaper - became a problem for Mr Metzgar as he was 'stuck in this position'. 


The driver had a three-piece inflatable penile implant fitted by surgeon Dr. Thomas J. Desperito.

The urologist fitted inflatable cylinders inside the shaft of the penis, a fluid reservoir under the abdominal wall and a pump inside the scrotum,  The New Journal    reported.

But attorneys for Dr Desperito, who denies responsibility, claim that occasionally bad medical results can occur without it being anyone's fault.

They suggested the truck driver should have realised something was wrong when his scrotum swelled to the size of a volleyball after the December surgery.

But the 44-year-old did not alert anyone to the problem until April.  Colleen D. Shields, acting for the doctor, told the court that her client advised the patient to have the prosthesis removed after he complained of an infection and that the erection wasn't going down, four months after the implant was fitted.

      <title>Attorney pleads not guilty to attempted murder of wife</title>
      <pubDate>Mon, 17 Jun 2013 01:37:55 -0400</pubDate>

      <description>Bakersfield DUI attorney Mark Joseph Madrigali pleaded not guilty to three felonies in Kern County Superior Court Friday in connection with the shooting of his wife.
Judge Michael Bush set bail at $2 million, nearly four times the $550,000 bail set at his booking at the downtown jail Wednesday.

Police were dispatched to the couple's home at 1220 Telegraph Ave. in northeast Bakersfield at 3:44 a.m. Wednesday and found Madrigali's wife, 51, inside the house suffering from a gunshot wound to her upper torso.

Kern Medical Center has not provided any updates on her condition since she was last said to be critical but stable following surgery Thursday.

Madrigali, 58, faces life in prison if convicted. He's charged with attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon and infliction of corporal injury on a spouse, with enhancements for premeditation.

The suspect didn't speak except to correct the court's misspelling of his last name.

Outside court, Deputy District Attorney Gina Pearl said she asked for higher bail because of the serious nature of the alleged crimes and because Madrigali owns several firearms.

&quot;We're concerned for public safety in this case,&quot; she said.

The weapon in the shooting was a shotgun, Pearl said.

Defense attorney Mark Anthony Raimondo said after the arraignment that his client had been generally quiet and remorseful since the incident.

Raimondo added that Madrigali was a friend he had known for several years and was a &quot;well-respected attorney.&quot;

Raimondo said he hoped the public would &quot;keep an open mind until all the facts come out.&quot;

Madrigali had a private practice as a defense attorney for driving under the influence charges and traffic tickets. He was disciplined by the state bar after he was convicted of driving under the influence of alcohol in 2008.

Madrigali's wife had sued for divorce last fall, citing irreconcilable differences, but the case lapsed.

The Californian has a policy not to name the victims of alleged spousal abuse.</description>

      <description>A poet in Colombia wants to go to Europe so much that he's willing to fund the trip in a very ballsy way: selling his testicles.

Rafael Medina Brochero,52, is selling the matching set of semen-producing genitalia for the lump sum of $20,000 to fund a European tour in which he'll participate in &quot;Poetry for Peace in Colombia,&quot; according to ColombiaReports.com.

Brochero did not say whether the surgery would be covered in the $20,000, but he said the presumedly used testes might be able to be transplanted into a sterile person or used to make soup, Yahoo! Australia reported.

It might be a desperate way to raise money, but Brochero sees it as addition by subtraction. The poet simply doesn't want to repeat an experience he had while touring Bolivia last year when he ran out of cash and had to pawn his wedding ring,TheNewAge.co.za reported.

Journalist Scott Carney ,  author of &quot;The Red Market: On the Trail of the World's Organ Brokers, Bone Thieves, Blood Farmers, and Child Traffickers&quot; (Harper Collins), said Brochero's ballsy sale must be considered an art project because there is no real market for testicles.

&quot;There is no real value for any body part,&quot; Carney told The Huffington Post. &quot;It's what gets negotiated, like a used car.&quot;

      <title>Rays starter Alex Cobb was taken off the field on a stretcher after he was struck in the head by a line drive Saturday.</title>

      <description>Tampa Bay Rays right-hander Alex Cobb was taken off the field on a stretcher after he was hit on the right ear by a liner off the bat of Kansas City's Eric Hosmer in the fifth inning of Saturday's game.

Cobb put a hand on his head after being struck. Trainers from both teams and other medical staff immediately ran onto the field.

 
Cobb could be seen kicking his legs while being examined on the mound. The Rays announced that Cobb remained conscious the whole time and was taken to Bayfront Medical Center in St. Petersburg for further examination.

Rays spokesman Rick Vaughn said all tests were normal and that Cobb suffered a mild concussion.

Players on both teams had hands on their heads as a stunned silence overtook Tropicana Field after the crowd gasped when Cobb was struck.

It came a month after Blue Jays starter J.A. Happ was also struck by a liner against the Rays and suffered a skull fracture.

Happ was discharged from an area hospital the following day.

The sound of the ball striking Cobb -- which sounded like a bat hitting a ball -- could be heard in the press box.

Rays players, manager Joe Maddon and pitching coach Jim Hickey gathered at the mound during the 11-minute delay. Shortstop Yunel Escobar was in squatting position looking down at the ground, while Hickey appeared at time at be nervously pacing near the mound.

It has been a tough week for Cobb, who left the team after starting Monday night's game against Boston due to the death of his grandmother. He was informed of the death after the game in which the 25-year old gave up a season-high six runs over four innings in a 10-8, 14-inning loss to the Red Sox.

While Happ has been fine since getting hurt, Arizona's Brandon McCarthy collapsed at a restaurant with a seizure related to the head injury he sustained while pitching last September. He was having dinner with his wife at a Phoenix restaurant when he passed out.

While pitching for Oakland last Sept. 5, McCarthy sustained what was described at the time as life-threatening injuries when he was struck in the head by a line drive off the bat of Erick Aybar of the Los Angeles Angels. He had an epidural hemorrhage, brain contusion and a skull fracture. Emergency surgery was performed that night and he was released from the hospital six days later.</description>

      <title>If you think pictures of Eastern Europeans camped out in slums in British towns will put off future immigrants, think again </title>

      <description>By Richard Littlejohn

PUBLISHED: 01:25, 14 June 2013 
 UPDATED: 00:02, 15 June 2013 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-2341253/If-think-pictures-Eastern-Europeans-camped-slums-British-towns-future-immigrants-think-again.html

Back in January, the Government launched an expensive advertising campaign to discourage Romanians and Bulgarians from moving to Britain.

The thrust of the deterrent was that the climate in this country is much wetter and colder than they might expect.

I can remember writing at the time that it would take more than an adverse weather forecast to put them off.

 
Shanty town: Up to 40 squatters are living in the demolished Hendon Football Club ground, which has lain empty in Brent Cross for several years

So it has proven. Although it hasn't stopped raining this year, immigrants from the two Eastern European countries have been arriving in droves.

The inclement weather doesn't seem to bother them in the slightest. In Central London they are quite happy to camp out in the streets and in Hyde Park.

Another group has set up a Desmond Dekker-style shanty town on the former Hendon FC ground, a few miles to the north west.

Now we learn that a group of Eastern Europeans has moved into a network of caves in a cliff above the River Mersey outside Stockport.

All this before border controls are officially lifted in the New Year and 26 million Romanians and Bulgarians are given the right to settle in Britain.

Not that we should fear a mass influx. Goodness me, no. Perish the thought.

We are assured that only a few dozen, a couple of hundred at most, will take advantage of the opportunity to move here. 

Those that do come will add to the rich diversity of our nation and bring with them a wide variety of high-value skills, such as computer sciences and brain surgery.

Only last week, no less an authority than the Speaker of the House of Commons was telling the Romanians that they will be welcomed with open arms, since they have a far superior work ethic to the bone-idle British. 

If we could be confident that the new arrivals will contribute as much to our economy as some of their Eastern European neighbours, such as the Poles, we would have nothing to worry about.

And, yes, there is already a thriving, hard-working, law-abiding Romanian community in Britain. Unfortunately, the evidence so far would suggest not all of the new wave are planning to set themselves up in business as self-employed plumbers and electricians or open private health clinics.

The Prime Minister David Cameron insists the UK will not have 'another Polish situation' when restrictions on Romanian and Bulgarian immigrants are relaxed next year

Look, the kind of people who are prepared to travel across Europe to sleep in cardboard boxes on Park Lane or live in a filthy, rat-infested shanty town in a London suburb are clearly desperate.

Conditions must be pretty dreadful at home if a cave in Stockport is a step up the housing ladder.

But, I'm sorry, it's not our fault, it's not our responsibility and it shouldn't be our problem. I can see what's in it for the Romanians and Bulgarians, but what's in it for us?

We are told many of those who have come to Britain, especially Roma gypsies, have suffered harassment at home. Ever thought there might be a reason for that?

Far from bringing vital skills, the Park Lane squatters have been linked to pick-pocketing, aggressive begging and scamming tourists.

Why should shopkeepers, who pay a king's ransom in business rates, have to put up with itinerant Romanians sleeping in their doorways and using public spaces as a toilet?

Why should the hard-pressed police be forced to fight a daily war of attrition against a foreign criminal underclass which shouldn't be here in the first place? What other capital city would allow a world-class park and tourist attraction to be turned into a transit camp? Precisely.

Yet raise any of these questions and prepare to be howled down as 'racist'. One dwindling Left-wing rag ran a whole, hand-wringing page about the cave-dwellers of Stockport without ever mentioning who they were or how they got there.

They were simply described as 'homeless'. No mention of the fact that they were from Estonia, Romania and other Eastern European states. We are all guilty.

No we're not. The politicians are guilty. So are the smug, self-regarding Leftist bigots who have done all they can to shut down honest debate about migration.

They have consistently lied and obfuscated, stressing the benefits of open borders but ignoring the downside.

When the initial Eastern European 'accession' countries were admitted to the EU, we were told that only 13,000 people would come to Britain. In the event, at least a million arrived, maybe more. Nobody knows.

Successive governments have sold the pass on immigration to prove they are 'good Europeans'. The only way we can limit numbers is if we pull out of the EU altogether.

And no one, apart from UKIP, is offering that. Can you imagine if any of the major parties had campaigned in Hendon on a promise to turn the local football ground into an insanitary Romanian version of Soweto on a bad night? They'd have lost their deposit.

As for the idea that a negative advertising campaign will deter anyone from moving to Britain, think again. You might have thought that the pictures of the makeshift slum in Hendon, which will have been published in Eastern Europe, would cause some would-be immigrants to rethink their plans. Far from it.

A colleague who lives in Hendon near the ground saw about 30 Romanian men arriving only this week, complete with suitcases and baby buggies. Presumably, more will follow.

No doubt there are others back home who have already put their name down for a cave in Stockport.

Of course, they won't be there for ever. If they can stick it out until next summer they will be entitled to full British welfare benefits, which means a council house as a basis for negotiation.

Who can blame them? The weather might have picked up by then, too.</description>

      <description>Lorraine Jeanette Day M.D. (July 24, 1937 - ) is an author, 

former orthopedic trauma surgeon and Chief of Orthopedic Surgery at San 

Francisco General Hospital and promoter of  alternative medicine . She became controversial when she began asking patients to be tested for  AIDS  prior to surgery, as she and her staff were also testing.    She has written a book about that period in her life,  AIDS: What the Government Isn't Telling You  and is currently a promoter of alternative health therapies.Day's website, books, and videos describe the experience with cancer 

which led to her conclusions regarding disease. In 1992 she noticed a 

small lump in her breast, but did not seek medical care for another 

year. The pathology report from her excisional  biopsy  on October 26, 1993, posted on her website, reports a 1.7 centimeter  tumor  containing an infiltrating ductal  adenocarcinoma 

 extending to the margins of the biopsy specimen. Her medical report 

from November 2, 1993 advised removal of a wider chest area as well as 

the  lymph nodes  in her armpit, followed by  radiation treatment . Day underwent wide excision, but refused drugs, chemotherapy, and radiation.    She began eating a strict  vegan diet , eliminated all  refined sugar  and  processed foods ,

 and began drinking large amounts of vegetable juice. When her tumor 

returned nine months later, she realized that &quot;diet was not enough&quot; and 

tried forty different &quot;alternative methods . . . one after the other&quot;.</description>

      <title>	 Wounded Syrian arrives in Israel with a note from the doctor...</title>

      <description>Syrian hospitalized in Safed brings note in Arabic from physicians who treated him before his transfer to Israel.  &quot;The chest has been opened up and the bleeding has been stopped. The abdomen has also been opened up and the bleeding in the liver has been stopped,&quot; the note read. &quot;It is the doctors' opinion that the abdomen should be opened up to assess the condition of the liver and remove the pressure bandage. Please do what is needed. Thank you in advance.&quot;  -

One of the two injured Syrians who were admitted to Safed's Ziv Medical Center on Saturday entered Israel with a note from the doctor who gave him first aid on the other side of the border.


The note, which was written in Arabic and addressed to Israeli doctors, includes details about the injured young Syrian's condition: &quot;To the respectable surgeon hello. The patient, 28, was injured from a bullet that penetrated his chest and caused a fracture in the lungs, as well as from shrapnel that caused damage to the diaphragm and liver.

&quot;The chest has been opened up and the bleeding has been stopped. The abdomen has also been opened up and the bleeding in the liver has been stopped,&quot; the note read. &quot;It is the doctors' opinion that the abdomen should be opened up to assess the condition of the liver and remove the pressure bandage. Please do what is needed. Thank you in advance.&quot;

The note also detailed the medication that was given to the patient.
Dr. Oscar Embon, director of theZiv Medical Center, said &quot;the surgery the patient underwent in Syria was basic. I don't know what instruments the doctors who treated him had at their disposal, but the operation apparently saved his life. Here he underwent a second liver operation. We stitched up his diaphragm and drained the chest.&quot;

 
Few dozens of injured Syrians have been treated in Israeli hospitals over the past few months.
