Man’s hand grafted to his foot for transplant

[zaraza]

When a body part becomes severed from the body there is a very small window of time in which a doctor can successfully reattach it - usually no more than a couple of hours. Putting the body part on ice certainly lengthens the window, but not by much. Without a blood supply, the muscles and other structures begin to die. Unfortunately, even with immediate medical attention, it isn’t always possible to operate on a patient for various reasons. This was the case for Xiao Wei from China who lost his hand in a work related accident. - See more at: http://www.iflscience.com/health-an...fted-his-foot-transplant#sthash.Won8dNpk.dpuf

Well at lease he can scratch his foot with ease.

That sounds real like Frankenstein. But luck for old Wei! The doctors seem to made a good job. And if that helps recover all body parts I find it a good idea - the transplantation.

That is not practical or sensible at all ....What a complete waste of money having that done

Or tickle himself when he feels down.
