THE 7TH MOST FASCINATING MEDICAL MIRACLES

A SURFER MAULED BY A SHARK HAD HIS HANGING HAND
RE-ATTACHED.
33-year old Glenn Orgias was
attacked
by a great white shark while
surfing @ Sydney's
Bandi beach.
He was taken to St. Vincet's hospital with his hand hanging
by
a 3cm piece of skin,plastic surgeon
Dr. Kelvin Ho
never expected
that they would
be
able to reattach the
hand.
But given the patient's general health and
the speed which he was rushed into the operating theatre,made it a possibility that he
could have
his
hand reattached.
Dr. Kelvin said that
leeches
were used as part of the effort
to
restore blood flow
the hand,
and he is hopeful
that Mr Ogias will regain
function in it.
