WARNINGS TO WARRIORS – from Smoke Signals medical advisor Dr. Vinny Boombatz
Give someone The Finger – a test
You’re splitting some firewood when a misdirected swing
sends the ax across your hand, severing
your index finger. What should you do?
You should apply direct pressure
to the wound to stop the hemorrhaging. If that fails, apply a
tourniquet. Call 911 and be transported to the hospital. The
finger? Forget about it. In
amputated fingers are virtually never reattached. The closest metropolitan area
to reattach
severed digits is
According to renowned hand surgeon Dr. Bill Bourland,
CHS’65, finger reattachment requires
two teams of two surgeons working in rotation to complete the 8-hour
microsurgery.
