Had a different imagine in mind... members of congress, the potus, etc.
Good old fashioned home remedy?
Great story, but they had me going with the title - I thought they were talking about politicians.
If the doctors had only used modern diagnostic techniques like the Caladrius bird, they would have known he would recover.
I cut off most of my thumb just above the knuckle. I was 3+ hours from any doctor that I would have trusted to work on it. I figured that if I didn’t get blood back into the tissue quickly it would die, so I put the tip on, taped it in place and spent the night awake flexing my fingers in and out to encourage blood flow. With no other pain meds, I also worked my way into a bottle of scotch.
At about 4 the next afternoon I removed the bandage knowing that the end of my thumb was either going to be pink (good) or black (bad). It was thankfully pink, and I have full use and feeling today.
Is this a sign that the U.S. can recover from having hosted so many leeches? Like the man’s hand, we may never recover full functionality, but...
This information may be “handy” in the world of 0bamaCare.
I call Bull-Butter!! You can’t fit that many democrat voters on just *one* hand!
But seriously, amazing technique. I don’t know if I could sit still with critters of any sort attached to me. It would take a whole lot of “getting used to”.
