InvestigateTV+: Vanishing wetlands threaten haven for migrating birds
(InvestigateTV) — InvestigateTV+ takes you to the mouth of the Mississippi River for an in-depth look at the multi-million-dollar fight to save a disappearing coastline.
Plus, a surgical nightmare that left one Georgia mother fighting for her life, and the questions her case raises about medical accountability.
Then, the inspiring story of an artist creating miniature wonders that bring big joy.
A threatened migration
In the winter months, birds journey down the Mississippi Flyway, a migratory superhighway for more than 300 species. Annual surveys estimate 3 million snow geese choose Louisiana and Texas for their wintertime retreats.
Yet no place on the continental U.S. loses wetlands at the rate Louisiana is shedding its coast.
Robotic surgery leads to lawsuit
An Atlanta mother checked into the hospital for a hysterectomy, expecting to be home from that same day. Instead, she didn’t leave for nearly three months.
Star Button had persistent pain and excessive bleeding for years. The chronic issues interrupted every part of her life, including work.
Doctors confirmed the issues stemmed from fibroids, or noncancerous tumors. To get rid of them, Button opted for a robotic hysterectomy at Southern Regional Medical Center.
Side hustle apps
Apps that let people rent out things they already own are offering users a way to earn extra cash without taking on an in-person part-time job.
Instead of signing up to drive for a rideshare service or deliver groceries, some people are turning to rental platforms that allow them to make money on their own schedule by listing items they already have at home.
Hand-painted seashells
An ordained minister, Gil Ames has not let anything get in the way of his passion for painting. He volunteered with the Red Cross at 52 national disasters, including ground zero in New York.
He also spent 25 years as a long-haul truck driver. He pivoted to something more portable to paint on during that time.
