40 years of constant agony isn't something I'd even wish on my worst enemy, he's a real trooper for toughing it out and living his life.

[ViolentCabbage-ymko]

The mental strength this man has must be extremely strong to live with such a condition. I have nothing but respect for this man

[Danae]

As soon as I saw him I thought he had been in a fire.
My great, great, Grandmother, who lived 101 years, had just gotten married. Her and her husband had been married for only 3 months when they had a house fire. He tossed her out of the window into the snow, thereby saving her life. Unfortunately he passed.
Grandmother was burned over 90% of her body and looked Exactly like this gentleman. Her eyes and lids were the same as was her skin, no hair, no ears. They could have been twins.
Thanks to this wonderful gentleman, I have spent a great part of my day looking at old photos and remembering Great, Great Grandmother Louise, such wonderful memories..
Thank you kind Sir.
May your life be as fulfilling as hers!

Im so fortunate to only have acne and eczema. I will NEVER publicly complain about my skin again knowing there are people who have suffered like him

[dottiepark]

My niece with EB lost the ability to walk because the blisters on her feet were so painful. Also, an experimental medication caused premature closure of the growth plates in her knees and that impacted her gait. She died of sepsis at 25. God rest her sweet soul.

[mindypatriotangel]

I grew up with Vitiligo and kids were so cruel to me, I can't imagine how kids were to him. God Bless him.

[lavinaacrux]

Dogs don't care what you look like. Thanks for the additional educational commentary, I loved this video and he seems like a nice guy. I hope the remainder of his life is full of love.

[leah__gail]

What a lovely man! Hope he continues to thrive with his condition!

[JourneyAlee]

Dr Youn, your compassion and empathy are a blessing to behold.

[heidiowen]

I knew this was EB instantly. I used to b a paediatric plastic surgery nurse and we used to have children with EB admitted for syndactyly release (which Dr. Youn briefly mentioned) and I cannot tell you the constant pain and discomfort these children an adults are in. Any touch can cause skin shearing and blistering. My heart goes out to them and they deserve a huge shout out for their bravery.

[liggerstuxin]

His childhood pics are so sad. Hard to see a kid hurt so bad

[paulameeks]

The offer to carry the Olympic torch was imho, humanity at its highest levels. Look what that did for this man! Some strangers acceptance brought him to self acceptance which birthed hope & the determination to live a life of quality and purpose. Now he passes on his life’s lessons by offering the help to others that he was given. I mean, WOW! WHAT AN HONORABLE MAN!! I would love to hear him speak.

[barbaracarmichiel]

This dear man has an amazing attitude and strength.

[wallhagens]

I’ve got Rheumatoid Arthritis and it’s a mental battle as much as a physical one. I can’t imagine having this condition to deal with ever since childhood. This fellow is a psychological superhero for what he’s faced. ❤

[dextert]

This brings to tears for this young man...the courage and strength he displayed is remarkable. I wish I could meet him. God bless this man!

No matter what medical affliction you are delt with, you always see someone else who is worst off then yourself. I have been around people with chronic conditions pretty well all my life and these people seem to be able to adapt to their medical condition and live life to the fullest. Although some of these people may have to endure many medical procedures, they seem to be able to cope with that situation also. I can see that same drive in this gentleman despite everything he has to deal with. I think it is wonderful that he worked on getting out of a wheel chair so he could carry the Olympic torch and being able to lift a 150 kilos was really inspiring . I feel so bad that people were scared of him. People who live with a disability are always challenged in proving to everybody that they are just as capable of doing everything as an abled body person. This gentlemen has so much to deal with, the fact that as a child not knowing if he would die and the fact that doctors said he would be better off if he died because his condition would only get worst as he got older must of been devastating for his parents. Everybody wants to live no matter what. This man has so much to endure with, always having to deal with his skin condition but I watch his story and I personally think he is an inspiration. There are so many inspiring stories like his on YouTube of people are accomplishing so much despite their disability. 🥰

Bless your heart for adopting senior dogs. I know they need homes too but health challenges can be expensive and losing your companion is more frequent. Thank you for taking on these challenges and bring love to these dogs.

[spreest]

What a cool guy. I would love to have a conversation with him, he seems so wise, but also strong and kind.

[HarryFlashmanVC]

One of the bravest of men, he's an inspiration

[SleepyMoon]

Oh my gosh… this actually made me cry. I can’t imagine how tough it is to live with this. But on the other hand, WHAT AN AMAZING His outlook on life to keep going and to keep a healthy lifestyle with the odds against him is commendable. What an incredible inspiration
