      You're still allowed to complain. You're not a surgeon. Of course you're allowed to complain about mediocre things like putting together furniture. If it's hard for you to put together furniture, that's fine, you didn't go to med school.

    The family of the donor deserves recognition for allowing their loved one to make this donation. As far as I know, just being an organ donor doesn't automatically opt you in to tissue donation like this. Either way, I'm sure it's a very painful thought to grapple with and it would take a very understanding and compassionate person to make that decision.

      yeah ur right, as an organ donor you can choose what you dont want donated my options were liver, kidneys, heart, lungs, eyes, skin and possibly something else. since ive wanted to be a donor since i was 5 my moms wish was that i didnt donate eyes or face since they make me unique, so when i signed up to be a donor i opted out of skin and eyes

    this is honestly kind of crazy when you think of it under the surgeon's POV. like justr cutting someones face open and peeling their skin off. Like, literally, just cutting off someones face, and then cutting open someones face, and then fitting the 2 pieces together like a puzzle. Like all the bundle of nerves, and bones, and blood vessel. It's a gory mess when the surgery actually occurs
    and in the end everything just heals back perfectly and he actually looks alright afterwards.

    Every time I watch these kinds of videos, I really start to wonder and question if life is really a gift. I can't even imagine the trauma and pain this person had to go through.
    Here are medical professionals, mental health professionals, social reformers, desperately trying to figure out different ways to make things better and provide a new life. The world will be honestly a mess without them. 😢
    And factually, it takes a lot to be a medical professional, a lot of studying, courage and sacrifices. It's like they devote their entire life for human welfare and I don't think they get the appreciation they deserve.

    Over the years I've seen a lot of these face transplant videos.
    They seem great exiting, so I'm waiting for an update when everything has healed nicely.
    But it never comes.
    I want to see a successful face transplant patient after a few years when it's all working good.
    Please 🙏

      Did you have a mangled face beforehand or was it just for shits and giggles
