Besides ripping injuries, his arm was also flattened."We had to clear and treat his injuries before taking on the hand re-attachment surgery".Xiao, from Hunan Province in China, described how he was initially taken to his local hospital for emergency treatment.But, doctors there told him they would be unable to save his hand, instead recommending a larger regional hospital.A pal drove Xiao over 100 miles to the specialist unit, where they arrived nearly SEVEN HOURS after the accident.Recalling his horror accident, Xiao said: "I was just shocked and frozen at the spot, until co-workers unplugged the machine and retrieved my hand and took me to the hospital."He added: "I am still young, and I couldn't imagine life without a right hand."(dailystar.co.uk)ANN.Az
