Face Transplant Woman Thanks Doctors

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) – Connie Culp, who underwent the first face transplant surgery conducted in the United States, faced reporters and the world Tuesday, and offered thanks to the team of doctors and surgeons at the Cleveland Clinic who performed the near-total face transplant on December 10, 2008, and changed her life.

She also repeatedly thanked the donor family.

“I guess I’m the one you came to see today,” the Ohio woman said at a news conference. “While I know you all want to focus on me, I think it’s more important that you focus on the donor family that made it so I could have this Christmas present, I guess I should say.” (via)
