After Cherry Picker Accident, Fort Worth Man Seeks Face Transplant

Serious injuries cost far more than your initial hospitals bills – and perhaps no one understands this better than Fort Worth resident Dallas Wiens, who was severely burned in a cherry picker accident in the fall of 2008. The 24-year-old Wiens was working at the top of the machinery when his face came into contact with a high-voltage power line – his fourth-degree burns were so severe that almost none of his facial features were left intact. Now Wiens is applying to be the fourth recipient of a full face transplant.

In the two years since the work accident, Wiens has not only had to deal with his disfigurement and pain – he has also had to undergo two-dozen surgeries to reconstruct his face. He was not just injured in his on-the-job accident, his entire life was changed permanently.
