A Frenchwoman is the recipient of the world's first partial face transplant, after needing a new nose, lips and chin when a dog tucked into her delicious mug.
Her doctors report that she is making great progress and can now move her upper lip. She can eat and drink and her speech improves day-by-day.
She's still in hospital and passes the time knitting, working out on an exercise bike and chain smoking.
Her doctor said, "She smokes fag after fag. It's not perhaps the best thing she could be doing - but it's her choice." I can almost see the Gallic shrug from here.
Good on those Froggie medicos! Good on the land of the mighty Gaulois!
If the poor woman lived here they'd probably rip her face straight back off for showing such rank ingratitude.
It's almost enough to make me want to visit flavour country.
