This ish happened. Maybe the patient did not want their new face plastered all over the media. Yeah but srsly, I was thinking about John Travolta and Nicholas Cage. They already did it!

Essentially the same thing done at Cleveland Clinic, according to the article. But the CCF article comes complete with pics and video.

From the article "when her husband shot her and then turned the gun on himself.
He survived with minor injuries and is serving a seven year sentence in prison. Connie Culp, 40 at the time, lost her nose, one eye, her upper jaw and upper lip, palate and lower eyelids. She couldn't eat solid food, drink from a cup, smell or taste. "


SEVEN years?


WTF?


That ******* deserves twenty years plus for attempted murder.

On the bright side, the US prison system is basically state sponsored torture, and he is probably getting sodomized everyday.

I met one med student who was involved in face transplant research at the time when I interviewed there. How cool is that?

 

[FirefighterDoc]
