Face Transplant Follow-up
Thanks to John Martin of Martin's Musings for the link to this inspiring story of a Phoenix police officer, severely injured in a traffic accident while on duty, who will be undergoing a similar surgery (though it would appear much more extensive) as the one in my last post:
Long before the face transplant in France, Phoenix police detective Jason Schechterle, badly burned in a crash five years ago, was approached by American doctors about a face transplant. Jason and his wife tell Lin Sue Cooney about their decision.Along with a video interview with Jason, there is also a press conference by the doctor to perform the operation. Although she is said to be a Cleveland doctor, she is apparently working through Keinert, Klutz, & Associates here in Louisville, the hand specialists who pioneered the hand transplant a few years ago. We are now intimately acquainted with Kleinert and Kutz as my wife's hand surgeon is a part of this practice.
