Wow, that’s pretty crazy heh, you basically did your own surgery and it was a success. That’s incredible, glad to hear you regained full use.
This story kind of makes me wonder what other old medicinal practices might benefit us.
The rest of the story is that my wife is a board certified ER physician.
I called her (when I made it to a phone), told her my plan concerning reattaching immediately vs. driving 3 hrs to get to a mediocre facility, and she concurred. Best idea was to get it reattached fast and not to let an MD that didn’t know what they were doing try to stich it up.
She didn’t feel that stiches were extremely important and that unless they really knew what they were doing, they could cause more harm than good.
She also says that I have the healing qualities of a starfish ;-)
Get a bad infection and they will use maggots to clean up the infection along with the leeches to get the blood flowing again.
