A Slovenian woman has been found guilty of deliberately sawing off her own hand as part of an insurance scam. [...] Prosecutors said the woman's boyfriend had also made internet searches about artificial hands in the days beforehand. /quote So remember. If you intend to saw off your hand and claim the insurance and not get caught, the safest option is always to delete your Internet search history, ideally before making the claim. You know it makes sense Full story here https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-54125770 Although there was a happy ending of sorts as they were able to sew it back on again. While the woman and the boyfriend lost out on a £900,000, payout and were sentenced to 2 and 3 years in prison. michael adams .... |

"Brian Gaff (Sofa)" wrote in message ... Does common sense exist in such people? You can bleed to death if you cut off your hand. But he'd checked up on the Internet first. There are possibly pages on there, explaining the best way to go about it. It's all a bit remisnscent of "Jabberwocky" the Michel Palin film, if you ever saw it. The first person he encountered when he got inside the castle/city was a beggar who'd cut his own foot off. It turned out he was Watt Dabney, a master cooper who'd fallen on hard times. So what chance had an apprentice cooper like Denis(Palin) got ? michael adams .... |

Brian If it's a clean cut I think there's a reflex that contracts the arteries to give you a fighting chance. It's the femoral artery you need to watch for. There's a somewhat grim description in one of John Simpson's autobiographies on the process for judicial removal of hands or feet in more old-fashioned Arab countries. Not at all like the scene in Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves. |

Pretty mangled most likely if it was an angle grinder or chainsaw. OK, is this one a "keeper" or not ? True. I actually lost the end of my pointing finger when I was an early teenager, to a paper guillotine but that was back in the days before they even tried to attach it again. The first knuckle is still there but nothing beyond that. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...stitches_2.jpg |

Probably look fine, just that some/all of the nerves and tendons haven't been reconnected so feeling will be a bit odd and some function will be lost. IIRC the muscles that control your fingers are half way up your arm so reconnect the tendons and that functionality returns. OK, is this one a "keeper" or not ? https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...ns/thumb/9/93/ Near-amputated_finger_tip_with_stitches_2.jpg/ 420px-Near-amputated_finger_tip_with_stitches_2.jpg Oooo that looks like the tip of my left index finger. Except I tried to cut it off from the other side. Cut starts towards the base of the nail just by the the nails right side, right across the finger tip, to below the base of the nail and half way through the finger the otherside. I suspect 'cause the stanley blade encountered the bone as it went through. Bone is white you know... 11 small stiches, done by our GP in the local "Minor Injuries" unit. Back home all stiched up in less than two hours from inflicting the injury on myself. This was 20 years ago, initially couldn't feel the pain from poked quite hard by needle but could feel the touch and hot/cold of surafces touched Over the years things have slowly returned it's still feels "numb" but now can now feel pain. -- Cheers Dave. |
