Worker's Hand Attached to Foot!

A worker's hand was cut off by a machine late last month and was temporarily attached to the man's foot in order to preserve the hand! Who knew you could do that?? After doctors worked on other injuries for the man, they removed the hand from the foot to reattach to his wrist. Despite having to wait for him to recover in order to complete the reattachment, the man is doing well and will need to have several other procedures conducted once the hand is reattached.

So basically we want to stress, if your hand gets cut off in an accident, let the docs know they can attach it to your foot to prevent it from dying (temporarily).
