Mila walked the hallway with her interns

"This is one of the biggest surgeries you may have or get anywhere near so please, pay attention. The patient is a 38-year-old male who was hit by a drunk driver 12 years ago. He suffered severe facial trauma. He's got no nose, no lips That's why we dubbed him "Blow-hole" He's had nine reconstructive surgeries, none of which have brought back full form or function. The surgery has only been done 4 times worldwide and all the candidates have to undergo extensive psychological testing to determine whether or not they can handle the process. Psychological components aside, the surgery has a huge chance of rejection or infection.Patient would've He will be all lifelong on anti-rejection drսg which put him at risk for lymphoma, diabetes, hypotension, renal failure." Mila said

"I hear they call the dude Blowhole" an intern said as mika frowned

" What did you just say?" Mila asked

"Nothing, I just heard he had a nickname"

"Don't talk anymore ... ever!" Mila said as she walked into the room where mark and Owen stood with the patient as well

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is Mr David Young. Today he'll been receiving a face transplant. Dr. Hunt and his team will be recovering the donor's facial graft. We're replacing 70% of Mr. Young's face. You can see the deficit here. " mark said as Mark shows them a computer model of the hoped result.

"Or here. "

"The donor recovery will include his nose left eye, lips, left zygoma. Why will all of transplantation work better than traditional techniques?" Mark said

" Better aesthetic outcome, which allows for reinnervation of the facial nerves, Giving a better functional result." Mila said

"Very good, Dr. Shepherd . Then we'll position the flap over Mr. Young's face. How do we know we're in the clear?" Mark said

"When the graft turns pink. " madi said

"Excellent. Dave, any questions for us? " mark asked

"Has anyone seen the donor? "

" Yes. He's a match with your age, skin tone and blood type" mark said

" What does he look like? "

" I think you'll be satisfied. " mark said

" Who am I kidding? It's a face, right? If I end up anything above a point-and-stare freak, I'm gonna call it a success."

Mila found madi in the hallway and looked to her and smiled

"Have you been to see Derek?" Mila asked

"Not since I was out there. Have you been to see him I know it's tense since the night with mark but you should go and see him he is your brother"

"He hates me madi. He had a breakdown cause of my relationship with mark"

"His patient died you and mark just didn't help things that's all" madi said as might sighed. Mila knew how her head was a mess and she knew that she didn't want to cause derek anymore distress
