Volunteer firefighter Patrick Hardison, 41, of Senatobia, MS, was injured in September 2001 when the roof of a burning home collapsed on him during a rescue search. The accident left him with disfiguring burns across his entire face, head, neck, and upper torso.
After enduring more than 70 surgeries in Mississippi and elsewhere, Patrick was brought to the attention of Dr. Eduardo D. Rodriguez, the Helen L. Kimmel Professor of Reconstructive Plastic Surgery and chair of the Hansjörg Wyss Department of Plastic Surgery at NYU Langone.
On the morning of August 15, 2015, a team of more than 100 physicians, nurses, technical staff, and support staff, led by Dr. Rodriguez, completed a 26-hour surgery for Patrick's face transplant, the most extensive face transplant to date and the first in New York State.

I hate fire and am terrified of it. Ugh. This man's a hero.

@Ki1ngOfGods 8 лет назад

I'm scared of dying in such a painful way. This story proves that some people really have it bad in life and we complain about the most stupidest things. Man, I think I just became 90% more humble now 😢

@Joyosagsm 8 лет назад

Ki1ngOfGods Ye. And the fact that people actually do these kinds of things for other people - there's still hope for humanity.

@Justanunderaveragekyle 8 лет назад

this is kind of funny to me in a way i guess ready this comment since im spending my last two years of highschool learning to be a firefighter, but one thing about the job, you have to be crazy to do it

Wow the operation looks amazing. I saw the story on the women in France and now this man. He looks wonderful. The doctors did a great job and this man will now be able to have a better quality of life. I am very happy for him and his family. I cannot believe how great he looks and he has hair too. Looking straight on you cannot tell he had an operation. A great deal of thanks would have to be given to the donor family too. That took a lot of courage. I would like to see a follow up in a year to see how he is doing.

@10S4U2 8 лет назад

My gosh! What an amazing blessing for this dedicated firefighter and servant from my home state of Mississippi and not far from my own Alma Mater whose t-shirt he's wearing towards the end. That mattered not as he could represent any school in the world for that matter. He survived all the trauma physically and mentally. As a fellow organ transplant recipient I can understand the feelings of joy. Yeah, I shed a few tears watching and listening to this.
