People have different line of work. We cannot assure the safety of it. We work for our family to have a great future someday.
A Chinese factory worker name Xiao Wei lost his right hand in an accident at work. Doctors said they were unable to save his hand. But they suggested that doctors at the larger regional hospital may be able to help.
Mr. Wei said: “I was just shocked and frozen at the spot, until co-workers unplugged the machine and retrieved my hand and took me to the hospital.”
Mr Wei said: “I am still young, and I couldn’t imagine life without a right hand.”
After seven hours Mr. Wei transferred to other hospital in Changsha. Doctors said that they could re-attach the hand, but not right away. So, in order to stop the severed hand from dying, they attached it to his ankle.
One the Doctors explained: “His injury was severe. Besides ripping injuries, his arm was also flattened. We had to clear and treat his injuries before taking on the hand reattachment surgery.”
After a month the doctors perform another operation to attach his lost hand back to its place. The operation was successful.
Mr. Wei can already move his fingers slightly, but more rehabilitation will be needed before he regains full use of his hand.
