Nesheiwat, Trump’s first pick, is a medical director for an urgent care company in New York and has appeared regularly on Fox News to offer medical expertise and insights. She is a vocal supporter of Trump and shares photos of them together on social media. Nesheiwat is also the sister-in-law of former national security adviser
That grisly image haunts her, she said. But she takes comfort in knowing that, when the time came 10 years later, she gave her “perrhijo,” Mariano, a dignified burial.“I told myself I would find him again,” she said at his marble tombstone. “At the moment of my death, or afterward, I’ll be reunited with him.”
A Michigan resident died earlier this year after contracting rabies from an organ transplant, health officials said.The patient had the organ transplanted at a hospital in Ohio in December and died in January, Michigan Department of Health and Human Services spokesperson Lynn Sutfin said.A subsequent investigation that also involved the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Ohio Department of Health determined the patient got rabies from the donated organ. Sutfin did not specify which organ was transplanted.
Rabies is a deadly viral disease that can spread to humans through contact with saliva or blood from infected animals. As rabies progresses, it worsens in severity from flu-like symptoms to hallucinations and difficulty swallowing. By the time symptoms appear, the illness is almost always fatal.According to the CDC, fewer than 10 people die annually from rabies in the U.S. And it happening due to organ transplants is very rare, but not unheard of; in 2013, a patient who received a kidney transplant died from rabies.
The screening process for potential organ donors in the U.S. includes questions about changes in donors’ mental states and testing for viruses and infections.
Sutfin stressed there is no threat to the general public.London-based design editor Cara Gibbs, meanwhile, has noticed the free-wheeling use of paint.
“I feel like it used to be wacky to paint a room pink from top to bottom, but now the application of these bright, poppy palettes is chic, interesting and most importantly very livable. I’m here for it!” she says.So is Massachusetts designer Nicole Hirsch. She’s put a zingy green — she calls it “alligator” — on a bathroom ceiling. Tangerine on a playroom ceiling. Cobalt blue, lipstick pink and chrome yellow add lively punches on furnishings.
In her own California home, designer Alison Pickart has the kind of roomy closet that storage-challenged homeowners would envy. But she saw value in a different use.“It was a hall closet, but with its generous size and great natural light from a back window, I just felt like the space could be ‘more,’” she says.
