#CROSSWORD EDITOR RICHARD NORRIS FULL#
Richard’s transplant was a full face and is said to be the most ambitious ever. Many of the twenty-eight transplants were partial, sections of the face transplanted from deceased donors. Since the first face transplant, in 2005, only three American hospitals have performed the procedure. He’s flown up here to New York from the foggy mountaintop where he still lives, so that the assembled doctors and other clinicians at NYU Langone Medical Center can meet him. The expectation lends an extra edge of drama to the presentation. The pictures show Richard, who’s waiting in an adjacent room for his cue to enter. The mood is electric, scrambled, like a show on opening night. Most of the thirty or so people gathered in the conference room are wearing white coats or lanyards or both, and they sit visibly captivated by the photographs Rodriguez is describing. His is a little bit more salt-and-pepper. The donor hair, it’s a little darker than his. I feel very happy about the bony union here. Maybe we can scroll through some of the clinical photographs while we’re talking. With his new face, Richard, now 39, became a media sensation for a time, the story of the miracle told many times over until it hardened even in Richard’s mind into a kind of precious jewel. According to legend, one time the cops stopped him at gunpoint, mistaking him for a robber. He stayed in his room even to eat, wore a black mask on the rare occasions he came out. They covered the mirrors in the house so Richard wouldn’t have to look at his hideous face. Ashamed of his appearance, Richard became a hermit, living for nearly a decade on a foggy mountaintop in rural Virginia with his parents. Like most miracles, with each retelling, the edges of the story sharpen, the colors become more vibrant, and the shadows disappear. The miracle that would come to define Richard’s life begins with these tragic details. The gunshot had blown off his nose, cheekbones, lips, tongue, teeth, jaw, and chin, leaving just his wide brown eyes and a swirl of nameless twisted flesh. She remembers pieces of Richard’s face showering her body. He doesn’t remember how or why it happened, but his mom, who was three feet away, said it was an accident. Richard Norris was 22 when he shot himself in the face. Because right now he’s being looked at almost as an experiment. He’s very comfortable with people evaluating him. This will be your first time meeting him.
