Do you see the Virgin Mary in this brain scan?
By Hillary Copsey (Contact)
Saturday, December 6, 2008
FORT PIERCE — Nineteen views of Pamela Latrimore's brain fill the black MRI sheet, but one is different, special, maybe.
In one, the Virgin Mary might appear.
Latrimore, a 42-year-old wife and mother without insurance, hadn't ever really looked at the results of a 2002 MRI scan of her brain. So she didn't know what her Catholic sister-in-law was talking about a few weeks ago when she said, "Oh my gosh, Pam, you have Mother Mary in your head."
But then she looked.
And it did look like Mary, the bent head a dark spot nestled between the two hemispheres of the brain. Lightened areas look like wings of light rising on either side of her.
"I know this is where it sounds crazy," Latrimore said. "But I pray, I'm fighting for my life, so every time I go into these machines I pray."
She prays for strength for her 23-year-old daughter and health for her family, many of whom — like her — are sick with a variety of serious ailments that seem to stem from a childhood in Jacksonville, Ark., a place where Agent Orange was manufactured and which has been investigated by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Some Jacksonville residents were exposed to dioxin, a toxin that can cause a variety of illnesses, including cancer, asthma and liver problems.
Latrimore has had cervical cancer. She suffers from fibroidmyalgia, asthma, seizures, liver problems, ulcers and a variety of other ailments. She feels she is dying.
But still, Latrimore thinks Mary's image is a sign God was listening to her prayers.

And she's hoping Mary can help again, this time by earning the money to pay the medical bills that Latrimore and her construction-worker husband cannot. She plans to auction off the MRI film with Mary's image in it on eBay.
"I have no choice," Latrimore said. "I don't even know if this film is something important, something I need. (But) I need the money."
Latrimore does not have insurance, hasn't for years. She was denied disability. Her husband is out of work.
She isn't sure how much all her medical bills add up to — probably more than $100,000, she said — but knows her phone is ringing with bill collectors. She knows she can't pay the bills she has and she knows, recently diagnosed with yet another lung disorder, she's likely to rack up more.
So, she's auctioning off Mother Mary.
The Mother of God should understand. She's been sold before, as Latrimore points out.
"I seen where the toast went for $28,000," Latrimore said, referring to the 2004 sale on eBay of a toasted cheese sandwich with the Virgin's image on it. "I'm getting to the point where I need the money."

God gave her a tumour that looks like a picture of the virgin mary so she could sell the scans on Ebay?
