A quadruple amputee in Massachusetts is praising Doctors in Boston for giving him arms and hands again.
FOX News Radio’s Dave Anthony has the story:
Richard Mangino had a dream.
“To once again have arms. To have hands.”
And Doctor Simon Talbot made it come true last week.
Leading a team of 14 surgeons, giving him a double transplant, attached mid-forearm.
“Just days post-surgery, Mr. Mangino began independently moving his fingers.”
Which Mangino calls:
“A miracle.”
The 65 year-old lost his arms and legs to a terrible infection in 2002.
“The one thing I have prayed for, was to be able to feel the sense of touch again.”
They’ve also done face transplants at Boston’s Brigham and Women’s Hospital; and Director Bo Pomahac says:
“We stand at the forefront of unprecedented treatment options of the most severe traumatic injuries.”
