Hmmm... if they’re talking about an amputation that might take place at the hospital, that suggests some other kind of injury, like a crushed hand or something.

You get your fiddly bits stuck in a Hobart Buffalo commercial food processor, you ain't getting 'em back. And it's possible to do, if you are stupid or hung-over.

So, yes, it could be a crushing/breaking/cutting injury.

I'll bet the kitchen in the White House accounts for >85% of the workplace injuries in the facility, with most of the rest being maintenance guys. Well, not counting carpet burns, carpal tunnel, or eternal damnation.
