| Description: | The first pictures permitted of Rodney Dee Brodie, whose separation from his Siamese twin brother last December made national headlines and medical history. A nurse pushes a carriage with the young boy, who wears a baseball-type cap. She takes him out of the carriage and holds him, posing for the cameras. (The VO says the twins had been joined at the head but were separated, and the brother apparently died.) MCUS - Little boy wheeled out to meet the press and his nurse. MCUS - Nurse holding Rodney down on the grass with some of his toys. | |
