Dr. Frank Papay, Surgeon at the Cleveland Clinic, discusses what it was like to be caught in the media firestorm surrounding the first near-total face transplant in the US.
Some of Frank’s VlogViews:
“We did it at a very fast pace. We were excited, yet calm. We were in our own environment. We were sort of cloistered in the operation room and it went very, very well.”
“After we got permission from our media department, we scheduled a large media release…From my understanding, it was one of the biggest media events in the US last year, and I was scared. My heart was racing; I was sweating…The surgery was much easier than the media event.”
“What is a face? Our face is really our public outlook of the world and how the world perceives us. It affects everything about us…You need a face to face the world.”
