Josephene Myrtle Corbin, the 4-legged woman who lived 60 years with such a mutation!
This congenital anomaly originated in the womb. (She was Siamese) but her sister finally did not develop completely, in her body there is a second pelvis that did not belong to her.
She had 7 brothers, but none became as famous as her, Myrtle Corbin went to theaters and fairs to show her anomaly to people!
“Teratology”, so this genetic anomaly was called by the experts of the time.
Myrtle didn’t stop and got to live her life and even married her specialist Dr. “Bicknell”, with whom she had 5 children without complications in labor.
Another curious fact is that for having two pelvis she could get pregnant in each of them, had her organs doubled and 3 of the 5 births were on the right side and the other 2 on the left, each pregnancy endangering her life and still the had.
After being in fairs, circuses, theaters during her youth at the age of 60, after raising a large family, she dies of an infection in one of her legs!
