A new face.(THE GOODNESS OF AMERICA)(James Pollette receives prosthetics for his damaged face)
Last November, John Cannon, a resident of Aguanga, California, called Fox 11 News in Los Angeles for help solving a problem he was having with a medical claim. The station was unable to help him, but during the course of the conversation, Cannon described to the medical producer the plight of his neighbor, James Pollette.
On January 21, 2006, Pollette underwent a 23-hour surgery to remove cancer from his face. The surgeons had to remove his entire nose, left eye, and surrounding tissue about the size of a baseball. As he was (and still is) uninsured, facial reconstruction was impossible for financial reasons. Pollette had lived with the severe deformity of having only half a face for almost three years when his condition was brought to the attention of Fox 11 News.
Gerri Shaftel, the station's medical producer, was so touched by Pollette's story that she sent a crew out to do a story on him, which aired on November 18, 2008. The show described his dilemma, and included interviews not only with James and some friends, but with his goddaughter, 10-year-old Mary Ann Simmons. The program ended with a plea by Simmons for any doctors in the audience who could help her much-loved friend and godfather.
