Sure...im just curious how the surgeons sold this guy on the procedure. Dealing with non functional transplant care cannot be easier than a prosthetic.

The article said that the patient was happy to help pave the way for more successful transplants. I at least hope it was cost free on his end since it seems like it was mostly a learning opportunity for the doctors.
