35、a Twitter chat Tuesday. Experts from the National Institutes of Health, Mayo Clinic, Harvard University and TEDMED, as well as clinicians and people from across the country, joined the one-hour discussion.

Standing on the back porch (门廊)of the house next door was the little boy screaming Help!, while four dogs barked and ran after him. Hansen knew little about the boy. After all, the boy was just visiting his gran
71、dfather during holidays.At first, Hansen thought it was just a dogfight. Then alarm bells went off in his head. The noises they made sounded like what dogs do when theyre biting something. His feeling proved right when he watched in horror as they sank in their teeth and bit at the boys leg.Then, Ha
72、nsen realized the boy was in a great danger. He raced across the grass, jumped over a six-foot-high fence and landed in the neighbors yard. He shouted at the dogs, but they ignored him. He screamed and yelled louder until they let go just long enough for Henson to grab the eight-year-old boy, Ethan.
73、 But he couldnt grab him under his arms, which would make it harder to run, because the boy was badly injured. Luckily, He found a long wooden stick at the corner. Henson used it to drive the dogs away and held the boy into his arms.Hansen ran fast across the yard, and the dogs followed him. Hansen
74、ran to the back deck (木制平台). So did the dogs. When he reached the top, he pulled on a courtyard door, but it wouldnt open.

Hansen screamed, even drove them around the house, until he got them out of the house and shut the glass door. The dogs sat out-side, glaring at him. Suddenly
80、, the door flew open. There stood Ethans grandfather, the house owner, checking on Ethan. Ethan was in bad situation. So Hanson called an ambulance immediately. The ambulance arrived soon, and Ethan was sent to the hospital immediately.Months later, Ethan was fully recovered. When he recalled what h
81、appened that day, he still felt frightened. However, he remembered Hanson, his hero, saved him. So he thanked Hanson with a prize. When rewarded the prize, Hansen said, I didnt even think. I just was trying to help the boy. Actually, Hansen was uncomfortable with the hero title. It was still unclear what sent the dogs into the crazy mode, but Ethan knew its Hansens bravery and kindness that saved his life.
