    Buddy’s table saw accident (w pics) – CA glue, stitches or amputate?

    My buddy had a table saw accident this weekend. Gross pics follow. Not for the faint of heart.

    Guess he needs a new prosthesis (part # X1104004).

    EeeeeeeeeeeeeeKKKKKK!!!! Gee Rick, I'm really glad it wasn't any worse than that. Yeah, I think the prosthesis will be the best way to go. However, I am kind of curious to know how your buddy got so close to the alleged perpetrator of the crime???
    Cheers,

    They are doing wonderful things with reattachment surgery these days.
    Did you pack the avulsed part in ice for the trip to the ER???

    As an EMT I can speak here in an official capacity.

    How dare you let it go so long without taking it to the hospital! Now, to prevent infection and possibly spreading that infection, you must take some precautions. I recommend that you carefully wrap the part AND the table saw in a red haz-mat bag and remove them from the shop. Next, go to your favorite woodworkiing machine store and get a new TS complete with all accessories.

    Oh yeah, get something for your wife too.




    Glad that your not hurt Rick. Enjoy shopping for the replacement stuff.

    Bill, Bill, Bill Don't you know Tourniquets are obsolete. Too muck tissue damage.
    A Shop thong may be used however during recovery for a sling.
