Somehow, these journalistic geniuses manage to describe a case where the neck bone gets disconnected from the head bone as an "almost completely severed head", when there is no evidence in the article that even the skin was broken, or any other flesh was harmed.

One day, I lost my head and my memory in some horrific accident.

Soon after, I awoke and found that they had restored most of my memory, but I can't remember the accident or the surgery wherein they transplanted my head onto the body of some old fat guy.

The spinal cord and arteries had not been damaged, making Parra an excellent candidate for Dickman's technique, which makes use of two surgical screws.

Dickman's technique ----------two surgical screws.

Help me, I am dying here.

Before undergoing the surgery, Parra summoned the pastor of his church to the hospital.

He was conscious enough to talk? Well, don't that beat all.

So, let me see if I've got this right. Dickman screws kids head on straight. That about it?

LOL...I think you're on to something...must be a conspiracy against good looking young college kids. I swear just yesterday my head was attached to my fit young college age body and I woke up this morning with my head on some old fat guy's body too! Maybe it's aliens.

My question is, who picked up the tab for the surgery and rehab?

"Parra's car was hit by a drunken driver"

Who paid? Hopefully the scumbag who caused the accident pays. Then again the Dr. who performed the experimental operation might have done it gratis due to the circumstances. Either way I don't think the taxpayer picked up the tab.

Parra was later asked what it was like to have his mind separated from his body. "It's hard to describe, because I literally couldn't think anything. I just had these vague feelings that made no sense. I though Hillary Clinton should be president, the Palestinians were an oppressed people, and it was better to import oil from the Middle East rather than drill on three square miles in Alaska. Thank goodness for that surgeon, or I might have lived my whole life in that condition."

(HUMOR-IMPAIRED WARNING: entire quote fictional.)

Oh .... I thought she was decapitated and they put it back on .... that's would be impressive. As it stands though, hope she gets better.
