Good Morning Britain published this video item, entitled “First Person In The World To Have a Double Arm & Shoulder Transplant Tells His Miracle Story | GMB” – below is their description.
A man who underwent the world’s first double arm and shoulder transplant 16 months ago has made a miraculous recovery and is now able to work out at the gym and hug his grandchildren. Felix Gretarsson, 49, from Lyon, France was forced to have his arms amputated after he was electrocuted at work in 1998 in Kópavogur, Iceland. After decades without them, the Icelandic native managed to convince a surgeon to perform a double arm and shoulder transplant in a gruelling 15 hour surgery in January 2021. The grandfather has shocked surgeons with his incredible progress, and is now able to brush his teeth, walk and throw balls for his dog and hug his kids with his transplanted arms. Felix has also been able to hug his daughter for the first time since she was a three-month-old baby, and cuddle his grandchildren for the first time.
