Surgeons Use Leeches to Reattach Man's Hand


Australia - Surgeons say it was a miracle that they managed to reattach the hand of a surfer who was mauled by a shark at Sydney's Bondi Beach.

He was taken to St Vincent's Hospital with his hand hanging by a three centimetre piece of skin.
Plastic surgeon Dr Kevin Ho says doctors never expected that they would be able to reattach the hand. More... Discount Magazine Subscriptions - Discount Cigarettes & Tobacco - Nutty News Marketplace - Critics' Choice Video
