National Geographic link
It's a picture link with a lot of during and after photos of Katie and her family, doctors, surgeries, the donor, the donor's grandmother, etc.
The story lies in the photos and some video.
Warning: some of the photos may be disturbing to a few people

This story is difficult to look at. Yet we are asking you to go on the remarkable journey of how a young woman received a face transplant because it reveals something profound about our humanity. Katie Stubblefield lost her face when she was 18. When she was 21, doctors at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio gave her a new one.

Yes, it is. It's not that disturbing, unless photos of surgeries, etc. bother you. There also is an "after some surgeries, but before the transplant" photo of her I didn't include.

Why post the exact same picture side-by-side? Where's the after pic?

Science is some crazy shite

Did she jump off a roof or something and face plant into concrete? I’m not looking at any pictures in that link what was the suicide attempt

Shot herself in the face

Tried to commit suicide because of a boy I bet.

That second picture looks rough until you click that link and realize that’s her post-makeover photo.

On March 25, 2014, distraught, she shot herself with a rifle, taking most of her face.

I am not trying to be critical, but what was the reason for performing a face transplant for a person that is suicidal?
Posted on 8/14/18 at 11:11 pm to East Coast Band
Lost her face? Maybe something google can start tracking with alexa when misplaced.
Posted on 8/14/18 at 11:13 pm to go ta hell ole miss
I'd assume because it is an opportunity for doctors to perform an experimental surgery and perfect a procedure that has been performed a grand total of like 3 times in the entire history of mankind

God I looked I hope that doesn’t find it’s way into my dreams tonight
Posted on 8/14/18 at 11:15 pm to East Coast Band
They never really explained in the article why the face swells so much. Any of the resident OT physicians can give some insight?
Posted on 8/14/18 at 11:15 pm to East Coast Band
I would be really pissed if I tried to kill myself and woke up to my face all fricked up.
Posted on 8/14/18 at 11:15 pm to East Coast Band
doesn't look great after transplant until you see the in between

besides the scientific miracle, the Department of defense funded it for research for obvious reasons.
I hope she recovers and has a fulfilling life and can counsel young folks to not do stupid shite that is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.
and I hope she can appreciate the US department of defense.
