First Hue Man Receives RNA Skin Grafts After Fire
Pau Une Price, a 46 year old domestic worker and Black sufferer, awoke with burns on April 24 1964. Neighbors saved her with a blanket but 40 percent of her skin was lost. Her grafts included skin from a deceased white male donor treated with RNA to reduce rejection. Surgeons led by Dr Louis L Smith at Loma Linda used as much of her remaining skin as possible and say RNA treated grafts extended life in several cases. Price expresses relief and notes color change but says race was not the main worry. the look of two colors bothered others more than herself.
