Melanie Young, RN, worked in the neonatal unit of a busy hospital for over 14 years before she was given a strange gift that changed her life: she opened the box and there were two skulls inside. One was a normal human, but the other was so strange that she had never seen anything like it before. She took one look at it and thought, ‘How did you survive?’ Melanie wanted to know if there was some way for that miracle element to be isolated and engineered into a treatment to help other babies survive.
