First in Region Gets Robotic Lung Surgery | New Orleans News

Seventy-seven-year-old Dennis ONeil is cancer-free after pioneering robotic surgery that let him beat lung cancer with just one tiny incision — and he’s already planning to see his grandkids and even get cataract surgery next. What started with a golf game and a backache led to a life-saving double diagnosis — colon and lung cancer — that he credits with saving his life. The Da Vinci SP robot, used for the first time in the region, offers precision, less pain, and faster recovery — bringing advanced care closer to home for Louisiana’s high lung cancer rates. Dennis, who had his colon cancer removed earlier this year, is now thriving — proof that cutting-edge medicine can restore not just health, but joy.

New Orleans Workers Demand Fair Pay and Housing | New Orleans News

New Orleans city workers are struggling to afford rent and basic living costs, prompting Tulane students to urge a $2.80 hourly wage hike and housing stipends for public employees. Their push stems from a study linking poverty, outmigration, and rising crime — especially in a city reliant on hospitality jobs. They argue that fixing affordability isn’t just about survival, but also about public safety, citing examples from cities like D.C. and Savannah. While crime stats are down, council members are weighing these bold proposals to ensure workers can stay in the city they serve.
