    This is just crazy. I would be shocked if an American doctor would even think of doing this. It is amazing they got it to work. There are probably a lot of nerves, blood vessels etc. that had to be reattached. Also why did they attach it to the ankle?

    WTF kind of bizarro add-in is that?

    NM, you're right, American doctors have NEVER been on the cutting edge of medical innovation. :rolleyes:

    I'm glad the doctors were able to lend him a hand.

    Even weirder than severing your hand is having to live with it attached to your foot for a month.

    Does this make it easier for him to kick ass and take names?

    If he would have played football, he could have a lot of shoe-lace catches.
