GIVE ‘em the finger.
Twenty-year old Wang Yongjun is getting the chance to grow his middle finger outside of the womb, after he partially severed it off during an altercation with an electric saw. Wang was at work when the accident happened, and fortunately for him quick thinking co- workers were able to get him to hospital in time for doctors to perform surgery to attach the mangled finger to his stomach in order to grow a new fingertip. Prior to the attachment, surgeons had to cut away all the skin and muscle from the end of Wang’s finger, leaving only bone, before securing the bone and remaining finger flesh to the stomach in the hope that blood circulation would be restored and the finger would be able to repair itself. The surgery was a complete success and doctors now say Wang will have a new finger in less than a month.The above article was sent to subscribers in Pharmacy Daily's issue from 17 Nov 11 To see the full newsletter, see the embedded issue below or CLICK HERE to download Pharmacy Daily from 17 Nov 11
