Boy, that's pretty darn good.

No reason to start dipping tobacco though.

I was thinking about getting one of those transplants, but the donor kept objecting.

Verdict is still out for me on this. Granted, I have a “normal” face, but I’m curious as to the long-term psychological effects of a surgery like this. Certainly this man’s face was, for lack of a better word, non-existent prior to the transplant, but I’m curious as to his feelings about his new face. From the looks of it, he lost his eyes in the accident, so this is really for outward appearances more than anything else. Does the transplanted face eventually “normalize” or will there always be droops and pockets of unusual-looking skin?

Please don’t mistake my intent here. The ghastly image of a faceless man is absolutely nothing compared to the somewhat odd-looking transplanted face, but we’ve yet to really study the long-term psychological and physiological effects of these types of surgeries.

God bless him and see him through what I’m sure are very trying times.

"Dr. Bohdan Pomahac, MD, the director of the Burn Center . . . "

Interesting. I'd translate the doctor's name from Czech as "God-given Helper". How appropriate.
