I remember the little girl that had her face ripped off, but the arm attached to the groin takes the cake. It would be beyond strange to have your arm down there.

Great clip! Stuff like this is why I love the Discovery Channel.

I wonder where the surgeons summon up the emotional
stamina to perform such marathon type procedures.

Merrie, me too. Everything is so tiny: the vessels, the nerves, the tools they use!

This list includes some of the more interesting and dramatic reattachments of body parts due to accidents and assaults.  (This is not to be confused with the recent success of transplanting body parts from donors.) According to what I have read if you wish to help someone in this situation the best course of action is to wrap the digit or limb in wet paper towels, then wrap it in plastic, and then pack it in ice. Remember: save the patient, save time and save the limb.</P></blockquote><div style="border-bottom: solid 1px #dcdcdc; white-space: nowrap; margin-bottom: 8px; background-color: #eeeeee ;background-image: url(http://clipmarks.com/images/source-bg.gif); background-repeat: repeat-x; height: 24px; line-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle; padding-bottom: 4px; color: #666666; font-size: 10px;" ><a href="http://clipmarks.com/clip-to-blog/" title="see clips that are hot right now"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/clip-icon.gif" alt="" width="19" height="19" border="0" style="vertical-align: middle; margin: 0px 4px; display: inline; border: none; float:none;" /></a>clipped from <a title="http://www.copytaste.com/2c32b7ue" href="http://www.copytaste.com/2c32b7ue" style="font-size: 11px;">www.copytaste.com</a></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.copytaste.com/2c32b7ue"><DIV class="postInfo"><UL><li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;"><B></B></LI>
