GruntDoc shares his experience:
Into the basin went the limp digit (no bony support), and the closure was as good as I could do. The patient was amazingly calm about the whole amputation-thing, and actually said when I first saw him “”¦I know you’re gonna have to cut it off”¦” and showed me another amputated digit from a prior experience.
