Deformities 2
 67-year-old Indian woman named Lakhmani recently had surgery to remove a nearly 4-pound parotid tumor from the side of her neck. She had carried the tumor for 25 years, according to surgeon K.K. Handa, as she had been told by doctors near her village of Dariyapur in Jharkhand that an operation to remove it would kill her. However, Handa said Lakhmani is now recovering well after the surgery to remove the growth, one of the biggest of its kind that he had ever seen. (Courtesy of All India Institute of Medical Sciences) James O'Neal, a grocery store cashier in Redmond, Wash., suffers from a genetic condition called neurofibromatosis that left his face disfigured; he compares his appearance to that of the "Elephant Man." Now, his customers and friends are raising money to help him have reconstructive facial surgery that will offer him a more normal appearance.  ·  · |

Re: Deformities 2
Poor things. I remember when I was a kid I was at a fairground on a ride and I happened to look behind me and got the shock of my life. There was this man who's face was completely deformed. All of his features were stretched and sagging and they were all on one side of his face. Twisted. One half of his face was just sagging skin, the other half was this twisted mess of eyes, what appeared to be a nose and a long twisted mouth and chin. It was like something out of a nightmare. I will never forget my shock. I thought it was a monster. Later I realised that the poor man was just deformed. How he lived like that I don't know. I would rather have died. But ever since then I have been completely fascinated by deformities. |
but the first one really looks like a dude?
