BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. - One Brevard County hospital is serving all members of its communities, even the four-legged variety.
Brody the bear, a resident of the Brevard Zoo, needed an MRI to determine what was happening with his hind legs, so Health First Viera registered him as a patient on Sunday morning.
Officials said Brody was sedated for around 45 minutes, as medical experts worked quickly.

The Brevard Zoo's veterinarians will review Brody's scans and consult with a specialist to develop a treatment plan for the bear.
