no, but he doesn't know it yet but his knew nickname is "9 fingers"
I know a few people who have lost fingers. Almost exclusively workshop based carpenters. Most say it didn't hurt much, but I suspect that is part macho stuff and the fact they have done it with fast turning table saws.
Another mate chopped his thumb off with an axe chopping logs on christmas day. He said it was bloody agony, they managed to reattach it though so at least he retained both his opposable thumbs. I imagine getting sed to not having a thumb would be bloody difficult.

Everyone's different I suppose, A bloke at my old work sliced his ring finger off, on the shop floor, and he wasn't a macho man in any way, but he reckoned it was numb straight away and couldn't really feel any pain from it. He wanted to come back in to work 48hrs later..... :shock: :shock:
I sliced a 2 inch gouge between my thumb and index finger, and had to have most of the muscle in that area removed in a+e. Didn't really hurt for the first 24hrs, then it really was quite agonising for about a week or two, especially when driving and changing gear.
More worrying than the pain, is if the body still thinks said severed appendage is still intact, I've seen and heard of people that can still feel limbs and stuff, even after amputation :shock: :shock:

That happens to my mates dad who had his leg amputated due to a smoking related thing iirc, it's sometimes due to the the fact that the skin is cut along way below where the amputation takes place, so the surgeons can sew it up easier. The nerves remain so sometimes you might have an itchy shin, ubt it's actually the itchy shin skin causing it. That and also the fact that nerves do weird things - like when I had an injury pressing on nerves in my forearm and the signals weren't getting through properly, so even though I knew my forearm was the problem, I would get pain anywhere from my fingers to my shoulders even though there was nothing wrong with them!
And that's a bloody sharp machete! Makes you wonder what the bloke had done to deserve it though....
yeah and the fact that he willingly put his hand out
probably a thief
actually i sometimes try to use the 'thumbs' that are on my feet
no they are not there but i try and itch with them sometimes, you knwo the same as a monkey has
related to our ancestors perhaps?
(no its not my big toe, i have all my toes. its feels liek i have thumbs on the side of my feet, like a monkey - oooo ooo oo ah)
