Speaking up about the terrible vehicle accident that led to his receiving the treatment, a guy became the beneficiary of the first successful face and hands transplant.
Six years ago, in July 2018, Joe DiMeo was driving home after a night shift when he fell asleep at the wheel of his automobile, resulting in life-altering injuries.
Before anybody could reach him and save him from the blazing automobile, the guy was hurt when his Dodge Challenger struck a curb, rolled over, and caught fire.
After 23 hours of surgery in New York, where he was given a poor chance of life, he survived a face and double hand transplant in August 2020, despite having severe burns across a large portion of his body.
Joe said that since he “didn’t want to live how I was living,” he was “ready for the transplant when it was offered to me.”
