Staten Island University Hospital spokesperson Christian Preston told SILive that Bryson’s “special week” at the hospital “included a special dinner from the chef and a chocolate cake.”

“After finding out the patient was a hip-hop fan, they purchased a speaker system for him to listen to his favourite music,” Preston said.

“Then, they reached out to one of his favourite rappers, Method Man from the supergroup the Wu-Tang Clan, and his foundation Have a Heart NY.”
