Hand Sewn Back On

You know, this really is impressive. I've seen it before though, with fingers, when my father was in a terrible accident two years ago. His hand was caught under a tension belt while fixing a conveyor belt in a concrete mix silo and was left in pieces.....*(brace yourselves for crude, vivid imagery)*... Basically, his hand looked like just a ball of bloody human tissue, fingers dangling everywhere. All his fingers were detached form the hand, only holding on with nerve tissue. He was rushed to the hospital and told that he may lose all his fingers....BUT, the doctors worked miracles, and were able to reconstruct his hand and save almost every finger. His pinky was nowhere to be found though, so he lost that, but holly hell did they do a remarkable job. He is still struggling with movement, but his fingers were sown back on, and still work! Right now he's undergoing therapy for it. But yeah, science is awesome. I thank it for saving my father's hand. What's funny is that now he jokes about not having a pinky. I'm a UT student and my dad tries to make our hand sign (horns) but fails because his pinky is missing! LOL

When duct tape just isn't enough...

This is simply amazing. It's nice to know we can all be a bit less careful now.

i heard a story from my physics teacher about some surgeon that does operations using spare nerves to re-implant cut-off hands... .pretty neat..

i think ur supposed to keep the severed hand in a frozen container until it can be worked on...

I saw a someone get there hand cut off. It was pretty crazy! I was the only one who wasn't in shock, so I called 911. I heard from her co-workers that her hand was reattached and she could move it only a couple weeks later. Medical technology is amazing!

The funny thing is that the operation took longer than it should because he almost cut off the same arm a few months ago! Get in another line of work man!

a meat cutter lost his hand - lol! @ least it didn't get mixed in with the rest of the "product."

"God could have done it way faster." - no, he could not... God won't heal amputees...

Wow, its amazing how more and more evolved we are becoming. Yet for every advance, there are one million people out there working their way to a dawin award.

They did something similar to this when I lost my leg in a scooter accident. Only a centimeter of skin flab was still attached. Now thanks to a 16 hour microscopic surgery, I have my leg again. A bit frankenstein monsterish, but it works! Science should now work on a way to make $350,000 hospital bills disappear.

Wow, that is truly amazing stuff.

Science can give you an erection iin the form of nitric oxide a vasodialator found in a lil blu pill... you're welcome, Love Science

This is awesome.

What is the sound of one hand flapping?

luke i am not your father anymore ... welll atleast not after i found out you were gay.

Luke I am your father.

It never fails to amaze me. With each new scientific act we get closer and closer to Robocop.

science still can't give me a fucking erection!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow thank you science. Is there anything you cant do?

Isn't it amazing? I'm waiting to hear about the women getting a new donor hand...Medical advances just amazing...

i want one . actually , i need to have a new hand or two every couple of years so i can effectively continue bitch slapping all the freakin morons i come across on a daily basis .

Now that is what I am talking about!! These are the types of technologies we should be funding, rather than tech that we create to destroy.

God could have done it way faster.
