Amacala kuze kube manje abenzima kakhulu ukuxazulula odokotela abahlinzayo manje abonakala enezixazululo ezilula kakhulu noma okungenani izinga lokuphumelela eliphakeme kakhulu ngenxa yokuphrinta kwe-3D. Unalokhu engqondweni, namuhla ngifuna ukwethula leli cala kuwe I-Bentley yoder, umntwana omncane waseNyakatho Melika owazalwa nobuchopho bakhe bungaphandle kwekhanda lakhe. Icala eleqile lapho abazali bebesazi vele kusukela ngesonto lamashumi amabili nambili lokukhulelwa, lapho nje batshelwa odokotela ukuthi ingane yakhe yayizofika emhlabeni inembobo ekhanda okuyinto enqunyelwe izinketho zabo zokuphila.
Ngemuva kwezinsuku ezimbalwa zokwaziswa nokuthatha isinqumo, abazali bakaBentley abasebasha banquma ukungasebenzisi isisu nokuqeda ukukhulelwa. Njengoba bekulindelekile, lapho kufika isikhathi lensizwa yazalwa inebuchopho ngaphandle kwekhanda ngenxa yesifo esazalwa naso esaziwa ngokuthi encephalocele okungekho okunye ngaphandle kokuthi i-diverticulum yezicubu zobuchopho kanye nama-meninges aphuma kugebhezi angene emgodini othile futhi akhule ngaphandle. Lokhu imvamisa ibangela ukufa kombungu lapho ezalwa noma kungakapheli amahora ambalwa.
Ngokusho kwabazali bengane, ngesikhathi izalwa odokotela babatshela ukuthi indodana yabo encane yayingu «ayihambelani nempilo»Kepha, ngokumangalisayo, izinsuku zadlula kanti uBentley omncane wakhombisa izimpawu zokuphikisana nalokho, wayenamandla amakhulu futhi enesimo esiyingqayizivele sokusinda okwamenza waphila isikhathi esingaphezu kwezinyanga eziyisikhombisa ngenxa UJohn Mara, udokotela ovela Isibhedlela Sezingane saseBoston owayesevele enza ukuhlinzwa ezimweni ezifanayo kulo lonke elase-United States.
Ukusindisa impilo kaBentley omncane, uJohn Meara wanquma ukwakha uhlelo ngawo vula ngokugcwele ugebhezi lwe-Bentley kube sengathi iyimbali ngendlela yokuthi yamukele ubuchopho ngaphakathi. Ukuvala ugebhezi futhi, uthathe isinqumo sokuthatha izingxenye zalo ezimbili bese eliqhekeza engxenyeni engenhla yekhanda lengane. Ukuhlola umbono wakhe, udokotela ohlinzayo wasebenzisa iphrinta ye-3D, eyamvumela ukuthi enze imodeli futhi ayifunde ngokucophelela, enza izivivinyo ezidingekayo.
Ngemuva kwakho konke lokhu nokuthola indlela yokungenelela uBentley omncane basathola inkinga entsha futhi lokho ukuthi badinga ukuthi ingane ikhule kancane ukuze ukhakhayi luqine ngokwanele ukumelana nokungenelela. Uma ulinda isikhathi eside kakhulu, i-encephalocele ingahle iqhume, ibangele ukufa ngokushesha kwengane. Ukungenelela ekugcineni kwenzeke ezinyangeni eziyi-7 ubudala ukuba yimpumelelo yize kusekhona okunye ukuhlinza okungasala kuze kube yilapho ugebhezi lukaBentley luphilile ngokuphelele.
