| Subject: Hospital performs double arm transplant on Army soldier, so let's all hope it's a dismal failure Mon Jan 28, 2013 9:44 pm | |
| A former Army soldier who became a quadruple amputee after an explosion in Iraq three years ago has undergone a rare double arm transplant at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, the hospital said Monday.
Brendan Marrocco, 26, of Staten Island, who underwent the marathon surgery last month, was the first service member from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to survive the loss of four limbs, officials have said.

Live by the sword, die by the spoon and fork, which you can't lift to your mouth, to feed yourself... punk! |
