“While two years Patrons looking at youth art Julie Gilmore
is a considerable
stay, Topsy’s clinical
course offered
unique insights
into the medical
management of a
complicated case,”
said LMC Director
of Rehabilitation,
Dr. Max Polyak.
“ W h a t we ’ v e
l e a r n e d fr o m
Topsy’s health
journey will add
significantly to our approach in treating similar injuries Sarah LaPierre Art by Jim and Laura Rajner
and diseases in future patients.”
In its recovery, Topsy’s buoyancy disorder was
temporarily alleviated with a lead weight attached to its
carapace, which was regularly assessed and refined. After
over two years of time, the turtle was finally able to swim
without additional weight. In that same time frame, the
patient’s other conditions were successfully treated and
the turtle was medically cleared for release.
Topsy has been released behind the center on Juno
Beach, Fla. The hospital staff and its partners are keeping
a watchful eye to ensure that the sea turtle continues to
successfully assimilate into its ocean home.
Wish Topsy well! For more information on current or
