Unintended consequences:
The recipient of a pioneering hand transplant, it turns out, is
having
trouble affording the expensive anti-rejection drugs required to keep the
hand. The surgeon involved has appealed to the drug companies to offer him
the drugs free of charge. (Aside: this is the same patient who recently
complained that he does not feel that the hand is his own and wants it removed.
Sounds a bit like a curious twist on
body dysmorphic disorder,
only in this case the hand wasn't originally his.)
