Winners and Losers of the Week

Winners of the Week: The surgical team at the Cleveland Clinic.
Cleveland Clinic and University Hospitals in Cleveland are always ranked among the best in the world. This week, CC proved it by doing the most extensive facial transplant. The surgery went for around 20 hours. To prep, I read where doctors were practicing taking facial tissue from cadavers and practicing. Practice is one thing but to do that over the length of almost a day is amazing. Props to those in the medical field.

Loser of the Week: Illinois Governor Rod R. Blagojevich
With hair as bad as his reputation, Blago is having a hard time dodging charges that he tried to sell Barack Obama's vacant Senate seat. He has been criticized for being very casual with the media in response to the charges. Wishing reporters a "Merry Christmas" as they try to get to the bottom of serious allegations doesn't help the cause.

I read about the face transplant. That just amazed me. It is so hard to believe the advances that have been made in medical science in just the last few years. It always makes me wonder what is next? Good choices for winner and loser this week, Struke. :)
