This German patient is sure to be clasping double armfuls of happiness to his painkiller-saturated breast right now, after being the first person in history to receive transplants of two complete arms.
A team of 40 medics labored for 15 hours in a hospital near Munich, Germany to give the unidentified patient back the appendages he lost six years ago in a horrible accident.
And what does one say after waking up with someone else’s hands? “It’s alive!”? Well, according to the doctors the patient’s first words were, “Very good.”
My question is, where did the arms come from? Strangest Science News suggests that the patient watch the film “Idle hands”.
