Jayzus. I thought the most dramatic thing I've ever seen was a tissue procurement. I can't imagine being in the O.R and watching docs peel off a donor's face.

This kid did not win and may end up dying from infection or more likely, rejection. Transplantation is mostly very successful but can be a trade of one disease for another- or in this case- one condition (face blown apart) for another...

Shite. So docs get to practice on her and learn how to manage these cases...

I'm waiting for the guy that is getting his head transplanted from his body (he has spinal muscular atrophy) to another.
