I was listening to the radio and they explained how a shark ended up saving a surfer's life. It was at Huntington Beach, where a surfer was swimming and collided with a shark in the water, but didn't bite him. Still, he was hurt from the encounter and went into see the doctor and during the body scan (his chest was hurting) they detected a tumor on his kidney in its early stage, and were able to remove it before the cancer could spread.
If he hadn't had the run in with the shark they wouldn't have detected it and it might have ended up killing him. Quite the interesting story.

that is pretty wild, a chance encounter leading to a discovery like that!

@Jessicalynnt We could add subtitles to the shark, and he tries to go around warning people and it goes wrongly.

It certainly puts a new twist in the 'Jaws' story.
"Oh, this guy has cancer, let me bump him so he goes to the doctor."
"Oh, here's one I bumped last week but it's getting worse, let me nibble him a bit and really make him go... oh darn! Bit too hard!"

I thought it was odd to hear it on the radio, but I guess they wanted to share that incredible save.
At least the shark didn't bite out the cancerous tumor, that would have made a more grisly story!

@OneOfMany Oh my! What a terrible scenario, if that would have happened.

Wow! I was thinking I was about to read, "...the shark fought against another who was about to bite the surfer..." You know this kind of going ahead of the story because of its title. Ha! Ha! Ha! Seriously, that shark really saved the surfer's life!

Well the heading makes you think along the lines of an old godzilla movie, in a way!
