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.

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

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.

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 ?

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.

Maybe they put it on backwards with Frankenstein style stitches to
teach the bint a lesson?

She wasn't a bad looker...

But still quite feasible.

It helps if the cut is a "fine" one.

"Sharp, guillotine-type injuries with relatively uninjured surrounding
tissue have the best post-replantation prognosis,
with a success rate of 77%"

Makes you wonder what the other 23% looked like.

OK, is this one a "keeper" or not ?

Pretty mangled most likely if it was an angle grinder or chainsaw.

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.

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.

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.
