Good news on the boy's thumb. Ortho doc says he fractured just the tip and thinks that if the boy will quit smoking (because of the vascular constriction qualities of tobacco) he feels like he will keep his finger or at least what wasn't chewed off by the table saw. The pictures are really nasty and I won't post them, they make me gag. Yuck.
Remind me to tell you guys about the time a guy at work lost most of his digits in a ground power unit at work. I took him to the emergency room then came back with a sterile baggie and picked out all the pieces of his fingers I could find. The surgeons were successful in reattached some of his fingers so he at least could hold a cup of coffee but not much more. He ended up getting a nice settlement but I bet he'd trade that for use of his hand. Never reach for a rag that has been sucked into the pulleys of an engine, it isn't worth it.

Uh huh, yuup!
Done some stupid things like that myself. Have a fingernail to prove it. And a few other scars.
Also, have seen some bad stuff in all the years I've been in a machine shop.
