(CNN)This is the story of a shark who became quite attached -- to a woman's arm.
It just wouldn't let go. Not when she ran out of the water. Not when a beachgoer rushed to help her and killed it. Not when the woman was loaded on a stretcher with a splint board supporting her arm.
The incident happened at a Boca Raton beach on Sunday.
The good news is that the 23-year-old woman was taken to a hospital where doctors removed the shark and she's fine. And it was a nurse shark -- not a menacing Great White.
The bad news is a SHARK CHOMPED DOWN ON HER RIGHT FOREARM!
Nurse sharks are common in offshore Florida waters and can grow up to 14 feet in length.
So, it's a good thing this one was just 2 feet long.
"It's a shark that's been in our park for sometime," Capt. Clint Tracy of the Boca Raton Fire and Rescue told CNN affiliate WPEC. " And although we have compassion for the victim we're also sad that the shark is not going to be there anymore."
Fifteen cancer charities have said they are "deeply concerned" about new plans for approving innovative cancer medicines for the NHS in England.
In a letter to the prime minister, the charities said many drugs would "now struggle to gain approval".
The medicines regulator has rejected this and said drugs would be approved faster than anywhere else in Europe.
The dispute is over planned changes to the Cancer Drugs Fund - a special pot of money just for cancer medicines.
It currently pays for innovative drugs that have been deemed too expensive for the NHS as a whole.
It includes medicines such as Kadcyla, which initially cost £90,000 per patient, and extends the lives of women with breast cancer by six months on average.
However, the fund was a victim of its own success and has been greatly overspent.
Its costs have risen to £340m in 2015-16 from an initial annual budget of £200m when it was set up in 2011.
'Flawed'
The new system will start in July, fixing the fund's budget at £340m.
The National Institute of Health and Care Excellence (NICE) will give new medicines a Yes, No or Maybe rating before they come to market.
Those given the go-ahead will be routinely offered across the NHS, while those given a Maybe rating can be considered for the Cancer Drugs Fund.
But the 15 signatories of the letter, who include the chief executives of Beating Bowel Cancer, Prostate Cancer UK and Target Ovarian Cancer, say NICE's decision making is flawed.
Their letter to Prime Minister David Cameron, whose government introduced the Cancer Drugs Fund, says: "We are deeply concerned by the lack of reform proposed to the wider NICE process of appraising cancer medicines.
"Unfortunately the new system does not update the methodology used by NICE, introduced back in 1999, and many clinically-effective treatments will now struggle to gain approval.
"We urge you to intervene and commit to a review of the outdated mechanisms used to assess cancer medicines."
Cost
NICE said the new system would see drugs approved for use on the NHS "earlier than any other country in Europe".
Sir Andrew Dillon, the organisation's chief executive, said: "I understand and support the ambition the charities have for access to effective cancer medicines.
"Our approach to assessing the value of new cancer drugs has been reviewed on a regular basis since we were set up in 1999 and is already more generous than for other conditions.
"It's now up to [pharmaceutical] companies to show that they recognise the challenges as well as the opportunities their new drugs present to the NHS, and show the same flexibility on cost to NICE as they have been showing to NHS England in its recent negotiations with companies for drugs already in the Cancer Drugs Fund."
If you’re ready to move past the mundane state facts of Oklahoma history, then read on to find out 10 insane things that have happened in the Sooner State that you won’t find in history books:
1. In October 2005, an Oklahoma City man was sentenced to 30 years in prison for shooting to kill and robbery. He asked to increase the sentence to 33 years so that it would match Larry Bird’s jersey number and the judge granted his request.
3. The longest jail term in the U.S. to a single person on multiple counts, was to Oklahoma child rapist Charles Scott Robinson in 1994. He was sentenced to a total of 30,000 years; 5,000 years for each of the six counts against him.
4. The Oklahoma City Bombing (1995), The Boston Marathon (2013), Virginia Tech Shootings (2007), Columbine Shootings (1999) and the Branch Davidian siege (1993) all happened the 3rd week in April.
6. During 1964, the United States FAA bombarded Oklahoma City with sonic booms from 8 supersonic flights per day, 7 days per week for six months. There were more than 15,000 complaints.
8. After the deadly I-40 bridge collapse in Oklahoma, a person impersonated an Army Captain and took control of the disaster scene for two days, including directing FBI agents.
9. One of the single worst incidents of racial violence in American history happened in Tulsa in 1921. The Greenwood District, the wealthiest black community in the United States, was burned to the ground. An estimated 10,000 African-Americans were left homeless.
10. One of the most toxic cities in America is located in Picher, Oklahoma. The town sits in the middle of a toxic waste dump and many of the residents were unaware that they had unsafe levels of lead in their blood.
