GOOD MORNING AMERICA'S HOMEPAGE:
gma.yahoo.com/
This firefighter sacrificed his life to save lives... he deserves government assistance and community support
I agree
Absolutely
Sponge bob licking Norman reeduses chest, it doesn’t get better than that
To be honest with you I think he was uglier before it happened
For reall
“Could you take off your ears for me?” Is a sentence I never expected to hear
Kerry Smith wow
Same here
@Kerry Smith wow just wow
Sure thing pal
Seriously? After all that, really?
I feel so bad for him. Imagine the people looking at him at disgust but they don’t know what he did to sacrifice his life IN FIRE. I hope the face plant works out 💪
You do know, that this Vid is from 2015?
@Primus The Fourteenth No
@Primus The Fourteenth no, why
Engu Enen just watched another video from a year after this one, the surgery went really well
@@wombat2002 That's good to hear.
Please, lets not forget dave. He died tragically and young, and yet still he saved four other lives. He should be honored just like pat.
DEFINITELY HONOR DAVE AND ANY FIRE FIGHTER WHO SACRIFICES EVEN ONLY THEIR TIME. ARE ABSOLUTE HEROES!! POLICE OFFICERS TOO!! THANK YOU TO ALL!
Yes sir. Rest in peace.
Was Dave the firefighter? Or the biker?
@@monkeybanana3635 biker
@@gamer_eliaz9519 oh ok thank you
He gave his face for a stranger’s life this is a real hero and there is more fire fighters willing to give their life or body for a stranger
Nooo111 they chose to be a firefighter no one said he had too
Nooo111 I mean if you gave your life or body you will probably lose your face.
chinaboyhere at least we don’t lose our life’s, we all have a difference.
Uhm... he signed up for that nothing amazing
I wanna see how it looks today....
He's still a normal person, his scars just tell a story of what a hero he is.
Exactly 😁

Alexandra Hillard nahh hes not a normal person he is a hero

"it'll work". those 2 words were enough for me to get an idea of how brave this guy is.

The skill of today's surgeons is truly astonishing.

Yet people are always criticizing doctors. They don’t realize that you don’t go to school for 14+ years for nothing. We need more then trades. Send kids to school
🌈 astonishing
They were doing this back in the mid 90s, Nik Cake and Travolta will second me on that one
Skill lvl.100

@Thomas Bradway nah
I'm really happy to see that he's still got his eyesight, most facial burn victims lose that obligatorily.
I have so much respect to both the donor, and the guy that got burnt. He lost his face to try and save someone, and the other man gave his in return. Truly amazing.
Rob23 Calm down dude
And the doctor
Rob23 gotta chill my dude
Rob23 F off
Rob23 it's ok daddy will bring the milk home....soon
Bless him. Imagine how that affected him having his kids terrified. (Everyone is getting mad but I mean terrified because they were scared of him at first cause they didn’t know who he was after)

He’s a legend he deserves millions of dollars

@@silverbashspam9701 he sacrificed his face and almost his life for some person he didnt even know. He deserves millions
@@stfudjjd8000 Alot of fire men do that but they are anonymous and you can't give them all millions and i never said he dind't deserve it
@@silverbashspam9701 so you agree that actor who played Darth Vader should? I think our heroes not celebrities should be getting millions. I would rather have my tax dollars go to those who served in the army or doctors firefighters millions. Firefighters don't even make that much. Maybe 100k a year or less. To risk their lives.
I feel really bad for him 😭 I wish him the best
Me to

This man risked his life to save people and his hard work eventually got him hurt!
The more I look at him the more I see a hero
I’ve seen this doctor in other documentary. He is extremely competent.
ACR I’ve seen bad grammar before in other comments. They are extremely incompetent.
Edit: Snowflakes
@@saintcrx6567 you know maybe instead of making a rude comment you can actually try to help them with their grammar and correct them. English is not everyone's first language you know
@Ruben Mercado stfu
Ruben Mercado get a life, you are a waste of life
So many snowflakes in here 😂😂😂, it was a joke cmon guys
This guy, gave away his face to save a stranger. He’s a hero! I’m speechless for what he’s done!
The guy died
@christy joy I can't 😭🤣
Christy Joyce and I was wondering that...
lilly littes His mom donated his organs. So, technically he didn’t donated it
Both are hero’s dead or alive
“Take of your ears please”
*W H A T*
i-
Terrible Tree this is really rude, whats wrong with it? Its not like hes ugly
Huyen-Tran Tran lying is rude he’s ugly but his heart is not
Personally, I don't think this man is that ugly, he's just different looking to me, I'm not disgusted by his looks at all.
@@Unhelpful he’s not even ugly what
As a fellow fireman, it breaks my heart to see another guy who has given so much just want to fit in again. I wish you well brother. “All gave some, some gave all.”
He is still a human ,HELP HIM he has saved multiple people lives he deserves it
@Rob23 WTF is wrong with you you fucking peice of sh*t he was saying to help this man which was a nice thing my grandfather got hurt while being a firefighter and he was lucky enough to make it out alive you should be ashamed of yourself you little piece of sh*t
@Rob23 stfu
There are also people who have a more bad life, like my English.
@Rob23 Okay dude wtf are u doing?
@Rob23 stop being such a low life. Grow up, shut up.
This man freely gave his life -and his face to save others. He deserves a happy story ending. Good for him.
Exactly.
Ngl before the transplant, he looked pretty lit with the sunglasses. And when he takes his ears and sunglasses off, it shows that he is a hero. I am very happy he is happier now.
Dude he looked sick
. Sick in a good waybtw
Like he looked ver cool
Im proud of him, risked his life for a stranger, but does anyone know if he saved the person he went in for?
I think they said she was already out of the house while he thought she was still in
@@paranoidastronaut5792 I wonder how that lady must feel knowing he went to save her stupid ass

Anyone else annoyed with Bart Simpson/Supreme
quit the live stream 😂😂
Me
@@quitthelivestream5952 i understand you
Honestly, before the surgery he wasn't even THAT bad, especially for a burn victim that severe. HE was still able to see, he had a nose, and when he wore his ears, hat and glasses he looked totally fine. But more power to him for going through it. Dude is braver than me. I would not have risked it.
News Reporter: "A warning: some of the footage you're about to see is graphic."
Me: *Looks through the rest of the video.* "Okay. Where's the graphic footage? There's nothing there."

They showed the dead guys stretchy face for like 1 sec

What a sweetheart ,risked his life for others he deserves the world .
Marry baby i love you
“take off your ears for me” is definitely a sentence I have never heard
Not funny. Imagine if you had your god damn face burnt off and someone was joking about it.
@@sivvy.7 he's not joking about it, he is just a little creeped out about it, which is normal
Same
erin myers, I get that you’re creeped out about this, but this isn’t a place to make jokes or anything like that.
@@sivvy.7 has not even joking 🤦♀️
“Lend me your ears”
Pat: *Lends Ears*
Have some respect
@@jlrs8169 have some humor
My man just lending his ears
and i’ll sing you a song, and i’ll try not to sing out of key
I just want to hug the poor guy, glad to hear he has 5 kids to look after him when he gets older and to give him affection (:
I feel so bad I can't watch this without almost crying
He seems like a genuinely good guy. Very sad what he went through.
Someone give me a reason why the hell would they dislike
Iven Sloobi they don’t like what happened to him
@Anime Motions 123 go back to the adoption center
@Anime Motions 123 how seeing a man risk his life saving someone funny to you??
@Anime Motions 123 you actual fucking idiot go back to hell
Iven Sloobi because it's TH-cam and there's no such thing as a video with 0 dislikes (with at least over 10k views minimum) are you new or something?
What a strong man. To think this happened to him while he was volunteering to make his community a better place just really gets to me.
This guy is a saviour he deserves the world he nearly died for another’s life and to serve the country
My condolence to the family of Dave Rodebaugh who donated his face plus body parts.
Love your apples
Wow risking his life in a fire...
Love to him
And to All other firefighters in the world and other risking their life for others
During the time I watched this video, I really wanted to hug him so tight. He looks so friendly and nice and I'm sure he is.
This story is so touching 😭
What an absolute hero. He just overtook Dr. Phil for person I most want to have a beer with. Huge respect to everyone involved with the procedure!
No one takes over dr.phil
ratmilksalen except pat
@@tylersanchez9674 who the hell is pat
ratmilksalen the guy who had his face burned off
Dr phil is a scam
We complain because we don't have material stuff or things like that, but in the end what truly matters is being healthy and loved.
Dean it's easy to say this until we are on the other side. If he felt that he couldn't live the life he wanted to live and be there for his family the way he wanted, then I absolutely believe he made the right choice.
Perfectly said.
HEALTH IS WEALTH
Dave seeing who received his donated face is a firefighter hero. Can’t imagine how proud he is!
What a hero Pat and Dave are and RIP Dave. I glad Pat was able to get this amazing procedure and I know Dave is in a better place now. I send love to them, their families, and friends.
This man is the bravest dude I know risking his life to save a girl
Well you propably have some trauma with fire mr. anakin
Hobby Tymona I HATE YOU
Lmao
Darth low ground
I hope the woman he saved lives a morally righteous life that looks to always serve others.
he's so incredibly brave.
I came here for the story, not for his face. To see how heroic he is.
This man is literally such a beautiful person inside and out. I truly like his confidence
Yes
Doesn’t matter how he looks on the outside, matters how he looks on the inside. He risked his life to save that woman.
Very heroic, respect to this man and all the other heroes that serve to protect us
This person, literally gave up his face for someone’s life. It seems like this person is one of the only people in the WORLD that would give up nearly anything to save people. What a true hero.
I cannot imagine the feeling & pain of your face burning & slowly just melting. I just feel so bad for him, but glad he’s doing ok now ❤️
He is incredibly strong man.
Just casually asks him to take off his ears
And he
No joke
Casually took his ears off
Well he knew they were prosthetic.
Grow up you disrespectful peice of shit 😠
@@gio.g1174 it's a joke bruh
Are jokes illegal now or what
@@farinator3409 no jokes arent illegal you just picked the wrong vid to joke about cmon you should have more sence grow the fuck up
You dont joke about these things aspecialy a person who is disabled if you have a problem with me email me id love to slap the shit out you make you see sence
I will never forget this. Will never forget him and how he became burned. And when he left the hospital. And he had two more children. Beautiful.
There are no words to describe this
Gentleman, hero and brave is a understament, bless you sir 🙏
He's a true hero.
God bless him, we are so beyond blessed, I hope everything works out in his life.
Skye Line yes we are
Amen Skye Line!
Amen👏👏
0:48 HOLD UP what is that person in the background carrying 😂
A teddy bear
thanks - for saving - that Brave but suffering Fireman - Hero. physical , mental rescue. I Pray for Him, and his Family.
When he said "take off your ears for me" I was about to scream
Calm down
God Bless this man forever
he's a really good person and hero!
Both people here are heroes in different kinds of ways. This firefighter knowingly put himself in harms way to save someone’s life, and Dave’s mother didn’t hesitate to jump into action to allow her loss of her son to help a man whom she didn’t even KNOW. The compassion and caring shown by both sides here is truly remarkable.
Guys, be grateful for what you have. You never realize how much you have until it’s gone.
wishing him all the best, i hope the surgery goes well and he can get back the life he had before❤️❤️
He doesn’t need surgery he is beautiful and he is perfect and amazing and strong and I give my prayers to his family and life moving on
If you watch pictures after surgery it is amazing. Thank God for all things going together. I hope the donor guy is smiling from above that he could help and having a peacefully rest. Nice to see things like that. Good doctor and a brave guy with that 50-50 surgery. And don't forget the mom of the donor, she was so helpful to let it start.
Can’t believe this was in 2015! I hope he is doing okay

Spent 7 years in the Fire Service with 2 men that had facial burns. After a while, never even noticed. Both really nice men.
Depends where
Omg, this guy doesn’t deserve 50 50 this guy deserves 100% well. He risked his life to save others and doesn’t deserve this at all
Does he or does he not deserve it

That kinda set me off a little
Dave, you and your mom are amazing people for helping this brave firefighter have a normal life.
i have so much respect for a man like him.
Respect to this man for still being strong, despite his condition. I'm happy to see his friends and family support him so that he knows there is reason to live. I wish him the best in life and I hope that he finds the happiness that he's looking for. 🙏
I’ve never met nor will meet this man but he’s done so much for the people! Straight hero respect !

He burned, to try to save life. A real hero, who gets my biggest respect and deserve just the best in future❤
Poor dude, I hope he’s livin the good life nowadays. He deserves it.

It makes me happy that there are actually good people in this world that would sacrifice their life for others that they don’t even know
I’m so proud of him, he deserves the best! ❤️
I noticed that pat is always with his children but not with his wife, I have a feeling that his wife left him after his tragedy. he is always alone or with his children.
Jose Rivera I noticed that too, I looked up to see if I could find his wife and apparently the divorced in 2008? i’m still uncertain about it though
Just a mental fellow if you truly love someone, it will not matter how they change appearance-wise. You should still be able to see that the person you loved is inside this new face or appearance and love them regardless. I know it is less drastic, but I was very much in love (as cliché as it is) with a singer a few years ago, and after becoming very ill he ended up gaining quite a bit of weight, growing out his hair and generally looking more tired and so on. He may have lost his figure and changed a bit facially due to the weight gain and exhaustion from his sickness, but I still find him just as attractive and never stopped thinking about him in the way I did. People change, that is just a fact you must accept in life, but if you really love a person, no matter how drastic the change, you will continue to love them regardless. A physical change is no excuse or explanation for divorce.
@@FirstnameLastname-es1ko I agree. I cannot imagine walking out on a loved one when the chips are down. Love is all we have in this world.
Joseph Dockemeyer exactly. :)
Just a mental fellow I appreciate your reply and your viewpoint. I too would not force my loved one to stay with me if I was disfigured badly in an accident, because I can understand that some people do not see things the way I do, and cannot bring themselves to continue loving someone who has changed from what they remember. I still believe, though, that if you really loved the person, it would not matter how their looks change. I think it’s really a matter of how much the person loves the other, and how much they value appearance, but to me, I could never imagine leaving someone I love because of something like a facial disfigurement. You seem an understanding and kind individual yourself, and I wish you a good day :)

Mad respect to this man, his courage and bravery through the fire and this surgery is truly astonishing. Congratulations on your new face, man!
All these dislikes are from people that don’t have a heart
Allison Stamos face*
As you can see this guy has no brain cause he has never heard of opinions
You guys are all toxic
Allison Stamos so you are mad that people didn’t dislike it
Allison Stamos not toxic just it seems you have never heard of opinions people shouldn’t have to be forced to like the video there’s reasons for that and you seem to like to assume the worse
I am happy that the doctors gave a moment to respect the donor before starting the surgery.
Awh this makes me cry god bless you with everything, its really rare to see people like this, i love you❤️
