Carolina Arruda turned 30 on Monday (29) with two reasons to celebrate. In addition to her birthday, she celebrated her graduation in Veterinary Medicine from the Federal Institute of Minas Gerais (IFMG), in Bambuí.
According to her, the diploma represents the realization of a childhood dream, postponed several times because of trigeminal neuralgia, a condition associated with one of the most intense pains described by medicine.
Carolina has lived with the disease for 13 years. During this period, he underwent 11 surgeries, several hospitalizations and had to interrupt his graduation a few times.
At the age of 30, he completed the course and received his diploma on the same day he celebrated another year of life.
"I received a double gift. My 30 years of life and my diploma, so dreamed of and fought for. The journey was so long, so complicated, but it worked. It was worth it", she said emotionally.
A crash between a car, a tow truck and a truck transporting cattle caused the death of a 52-year-old driver and left two others injured on Saturday (26), in Córrego Danta. The track was closed in both directions to carry out the investigation and remove the vehicles.
According to the Federal Highway Police (PRF), the tow truck driver was confirmed dead at the scene of the accident.

Eviction actions by more than 90 families who have lived for more than 15 years on the banks of the railway in Arcos were suspended by the Court of Justice of Minas Gerais (TJMG). The decision was granted on a preliminary basis at the request of the Public Ministry of Minas Gerais (MPMG).
The repossession processes were filed by Ferrovia Centro-Atlântica, the concessionaire responsible for the railway line.
The company informed that it was aware of the decision and will comment in the case file.
According to MPMG, the company had been seeking to remove residents from the right-of-way and the non-buildable area of the railway without presenting housing alternatives, a resettlement plan or prior compensation to families.
