I feel sorry for this victim of socialized medicine. Unfortunately for him, he is likely unaware of the existance of “phantom” pain seemingly felt in no longer existing limbs.

Probably... though I kinda feel for the guy; this came about because nothing could [would?] be done about his pain.

I get pain in my toe which was removed several years ago.

The problem is the pain receptors in his brain and not the nerves in his hand.

I’d give him a high five for the political statement though.

That's what I thought of, as well. He'd better keep that guillotine handy, his neck may need to make an appointment with it.

Sadly, this is what so many liberals believe is fair, when it comes to healthcare.

He had the pain while the hand was still attached. The sad part is he may have had relief with simple physical therapy.

I had moderate to severe pain in both hands and ended up getting surgery on the nerves. The relief was temporary. Later, an exercise physiologist showed me some stretching exercises; the results are amazing.
