Patrick Hardison’s Face Transplant Journey

[@Joyosagsm]

I hate fire and am terrified of it. Ugh. This man's a hero.

[@Ki1ngOfGods]

I'm scared of dying in such a painful way. This story proves that some people really have it bad in life and we complain about the most stupidest things. Man, I think I just became 90% more humble now 😢

[@Joyosagsm]

Ki1ngOfGods Ye. And the fact that people actually do these kinds of things for other people - there's still hope for humanity.

[@Justanunderaveragekyle]

this is kind of funny to me in a way i guess ready this comment since im spending my last two years of highschool learning to be a firefighter, but one thing about the job, you have to be crazy to do it

[@Joyosagsm]

Kyle Well, it's good to know that there are people like you that wants to be a firefighter. It's brave

[@justmemesok3716]

I hate fire and this guy to

God bless that doctor and the doctors that do these kind of jobs they truly give these people so much hope and life.

[@ErlendAnderson]

I can't really put it in words how happy I am for him. I'm tearing up. I hope everything goes right for him!

[@dphotos007]

Wow the operation looks amazing. I saw the story on the women in France and now this man. He looks wonderful. The doctors did a great job and this man will now be able to have a better quality of life. I am very happy for him and his family. I cannot believe how great he looks and he has hair too. Looking straight on you cannot tell he had an operation. A great deal of thanks would have to be given to the donor family too. That took a lot of courage. I would like to see a follow up in a year to see how he is doing.

[@woolncathairs]

He actually looks a bit like he used to - great job!!!

[@BendyTheInkTubermothafcka]

How?

[@davidamador9409]

Just amazing. ..too amazing. God bless him and the doctors involved.

***** no

[@xYounas]

+Hootsy Well there is no such thing as "God" being scientifically proven so it can't be harsh. You believe in God you are either stupid or brainwashed... Or both.

[@xYounas]

Religion creates wars #fuckreligion

[@artishking]

+Hootsy You're painting a really bad image of what humanity is capable of by saying that Religion was created for order. So without Religion, we would be raping and killing eachother? Nah, sorry. In fact, incarceration rates show that the majority are Christian or Religious. So if Religion was created for order, then they really screwed up.

Science Bless this man!

god fucking damnit. makes me feel sick to my stomach how I make a problem out of everything in my life. gives me the goosebumps this deserving man got this kind of help. close to crying. bless him and his family. and all the selfless others who risk their own well-being every day.

[@Evaille]

Science is fucking awesome, man. So happy for this hero.

[@jasonodoniel6434]

No it's God... Don't be going thanking science

[@adrianojeda5669]

jason odoniel Well Science is everything and doctors should be honors other than that mythological creature

[@jasonodoniel6434]

@@adrianojeda5669 he is not a mythical creature he is God Lord and king you disrespect him like that you will regret it just wait people like you are stupidly idiotic for saying that crap

[@adrianojeda5669]

jason odoniel lmao, I don’t have to believe in that mythology. Religion didn’t existed when us humans appeared around 130,000 years ago or so. But science tells everything about life, where was it made, and how it works.

[@jasonodoniel6434]

@@adrianojeda5669 you're wrong about what you said we have Ben here for 2019 years almost 2020 that's why the year is called that it's how long we have Ben in this world and also in the Bible it said that God created the heavens and the earth in John 3.16 it said for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth in him shall not parish shall not parish but have everlasting life so you're on you're way to a place with eternal fire but that dose not have to happen I can't force it on you but it's you're choice I'm saying all of this cuz I care for the lost I'm praying that you understand what I said if you don't care then I tryed and you can tell me to stop but that won't stop me for trying to spread the word to other people

[@TheLadyssnape]

God bless them all! What an amazing story!

[@LVZKV]

+TheLadyssnape fuck god

[@guythatmakessense2033]

True. This made me shed tears. He's been blessed with a successful million dollar surgery (paid by NYU, BTW), but I know this is just the beginning for him and his family :D

[@bocelott]

+TheLadyssnape Bitch God burnt his face off in the first place.

[@RinoaL]

damn, even if the swelling doesnt go down he looks pretty damn good for what hes been through.

[@JeanPierreBro]

This is simply amazing! Imagine where science will be in 10 years.

[@shaheer6792]

*Society in the future:* welp, we have to clean up the environment or else science will be nowhere in 10 years

[@landonm11]

As a firefighter, I love my brother, Patrick Hardison, and hope he and his family live a happy life.

[@landonm11]

+Jason all firefighters are brothers and sisters.

[@skeptea]

I watched this like three times! I can't wait to see some updates to find out if he got some muscle control? Ditto the others, it's amazing that the face really looks like his original one. Congrats to everyone, and I'm so sorry that he had to endure the pain of the burns. Best wishes!!!!!!

[@MeandmySara]

He has regained a lot of muscle control! He can talk, albeit with a strong impediment, but coherently. He can blink, twitch his eyebrows, do lots of things!! Isn't it amazing?!

[@10S4U2]

My gosh! What an amazing blessing for this dedicated firefighter and servant from my home state of Mississippi and not far from my own Alma Mater whose t-shirt he's wearing towards the end. That mattered not as he could represent any school in the world for that matter. He survived all the trauma physically and mentally. As a fellow organ transplant recipient I can understand the feelings of joy. Yeah, I shed a few tears watching and listening to this.

[@Annabelandobsession]

the swelling will go down and he will look even more amazing!! Cant wait

[@Vulture153]

+Annabelandobsession I hope you're right.

[@elishaclark1649]

+Annabelandobsession - I know! I hope he keeps a digital log like on facebook, so we can all follow along with his progress. I want to check in every month for updates so I can see the difference. The doctors expect him to gain full use of his face so he can talk and everything within about a year. Great prognosis!

[@freebird4269]

+fllashevol flayor I bet you're much uglier then a "deadpool movie character" . You must be a mega unhappy frustrated miserable 'person' who needs to react on other ppl like that in order to feel a lil' better... Go see a shrink!

[@lizpeyton4653]

This has me in tears.

[@orsonmunn4045]

Totally brought tears to my eyes, we live in miraculous times. What a great job by Dr Rodriguez, on every front.

[@AmericanWoman1964]

For so long I thought I was desensitized... *tears*. Patrick you are a hero. Really. NYU Well done. This collectively restores me.

[@sunofgod480]

God bless this brave and awesome fireman and his family, the amazing saintly doctor and his team, and the incredible donor family and the donor. This is absolutely fantastic. If they are doing this now, I shudder to think what will be possible 50, 100, 200 years from now.

[@mieura5096]

I love the doctor!! What he was telling to the kids…. very touching. God bless this hero and all the doctors involved.

[@Noname-lk2ol]

this man is an amazing person and deserves this life changing procedure... I hope him and his family are happy with his new face, if I were his son I would love him no Matter what.

He's not a hero because of what happened, but because he was willing to step up to become a firefighter

[@meridianocero670]

Hero. 💪👏👏👏👏

[@fixinggore7135]

What is very strange to is hearing Pat's voice as if nothing had happened. I've seen other people who have suffered severe facial injuries and they can't speak normally or maybe at all (case being Dallas Wiens or Underwood). It makes me see Pat's case from a different persepective.

The thing that would suck most would be knowing that every time he found hair in his food there would always be 100% chance that it was someone elses hair and not his own. Still, amazing results even with that slight inconvenience.

[@BakedBaguette]

Amazing. My life is so simple, and still I complain...

[@MrGfe-zr1zs]

[@MrGfe-zr1zs]

I kinda like how he looked burned. He probably doesn't like it but at least we still have footage of it

[@isitoveryet9525]

those who dislike this video deserve to have their face burned as well.. because this is remarkable and amazing to see the way technology and science has come and to see the reactions of the family after seeing his new face is amazing.

[@MP-fk9em]

Modern medicine has come so far!!! These guys run into danger for us. May God continue to bless and watch over his family ♥️⚘🙏 And when I say family it includes all of his brothers from the station as well💞
