Amazing Achievement of Modern Science
In 2013, a Chinese factory worker named Shi Wei had his hand kept alive through a unique medical procedure.
Doctors attached his hand to his left ankle so that blood supply could temporarily continue through the blood vessels in his leg.
Although the hand felt warm, it was numb because the nerves had not been connected—only the blood vessels were joined.
Shi Wei reported that he didn’t feel much difference in his leg, although it felt slightly heavier than usual.
After one month, doctors successfully reattached the hand to his arm.
After being discharged from the hospital, Shi Wei said that he could bend his wrist to some extent, but there was no full movement in his fingers yet.
Medical experts informed him that it would take about six months for the hand’s nerves to fully recover.
