Yeah a few days ago I saw a TV program talking about the operatinon, and they shew an "example" of someone who could benefit from such an operation, damn, they shew the pic in B&W to diminish the freakyness (well they do that for most chirugical stuff they show in the program), but it was really like the guy had been hit by a beam right in the middle of the face.
I also read on the bbc news site that it was her dog that bite her to wake her cuz' she was doing an O.D., so in fact the dog saved her (then they put the dog to sleep...). Though I've not heard about that anywhere else, well not on TV...
(I like when my english dictionary opens right at the page I want^^)
