Man Has Surgery to Reattach His Hand. For The Second Time!

Posted by Queuebot in Everything Else on February 12, 2009 at 8:18 pm


It’s a fairly rare thing to be clumsy enough to cut off your hand, and I’m sure it’s even rarer to do it twice.

That’s what happened to New Zealand meatpacker Bryan Speers. While cutting meat with a band saw, he slipped and accidentally severed his left hand. He was rushed to hospital where the attempt to reattach his limb was hindered by scarring from a previous operation to attach the same hand after a previous accident!

Eventually surgeons did manage to successfully reattach his hand, and while he is expected to make a recovery, he will have to remain in hospital for quite a while while he regains the usage of his hand.

    You know what they say: Saw off my hand once, shame on you, saw off my hand twice, shame on me...

    I'm suspecting he should find a quieter profession...

    I thinking calling this guy a retard cannot be seen as too harsh.

    Should cut off the other hand; that woulda made it easier for the surgeons.

    Proof that meat eating is bad for tards.

    I'm sure you'd be hard pressed to find a "retard" who's cut their hand off twice in one lifetime.
