Xiao 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."
At his local hospital in Changde, in China's Hunan
province, 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 am still young, and I couldn't imagine life without a right hand."
Seven
hours after the incident, he arrived at the other hospital in Changsha.
Doctors here were hopeful 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 of them 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."
Nearly
a month after his hand was severed, Xiao had recovered enough to
undergo re-attachment surgery. While he will need to undergo several
other operations, doctors are confident he will regain full use of his
hand again
