'Sharing Miracles' Television Program to Feature Legendary Rapper and Popular Actor Ice-T

WASHINGTON, July 1 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Grammy-winning rapper and award-winning actor Ice-T, known as the "Original Gangster," will be the subject of this month's episode of Sharing Miracles - a 30-minute public affairs television program that tells the compelling and inspirational stories of real patients.

That's why he works hard to spread the word to others about the importance of seeing a doctor: "The truth is that anyone who has a history of
