The most expensive face the world

- A former fireman who showed fitting the most expensive face transplant in the world, feels for the first time a 'normal boy' in 15 years. That said, the 42-year-old Patrick Hardison Wednesday after he last left the New York hospital where he underwent surgery 72 times (!).

The volunteer firefighter was seriously maimed in 2001, a collapsing burning building. What followed was a long- funded medical center- recovery process. For the final transplant Hardison whopping underwent 71 surgeries to prepare. More than a million dollars, which cost the eventual reconstruction of his face.

'For transplatatie I got up with effort every day to try to make something of it. That vote is now completely gone. I can eat, see, hear and breathe normally, 'says Hardison. 'I need to make me worry more now about pointing people or children who run away crying when they see me. I can finally stand up and cheerful start to my normal day. '
