Really? Somewhere, we have a video of a man playfully swimming around in his own septic tank, and you consider THIS disgusting?

I think this video is a good example of a man with a great attitude. I like this guy.

This isnt bad at all...

Wish i had tape of my post-crash leg, yellow/red/brown from iodine and blood, gleaming metalic rows of medical staples running up and down. And then the chunk where the bone went through, skin had to be removed down to where the achelles tendon was visible when bandages were changed.

yes, the poo-swimmers are nasty-ass, but seeing limbs that were formerly attached to people is just so visceral. I stand by my statement.

After seeing his other video, let me make myself clear. I agree this guy seems pretty allright; lost a limb but not letting it get him down. It's the whole 'holding your former foot in your hand' thing that gets me.

Definitely.

Yep. I have a chunk of normal skin missing in that general area (covered with a direct skin graft), it's about 1/2cm from skin down to muscle.

A guy took a video of him holding his severed foot and put it on youtube. TheMarsTravolta found it somewhere and submitted it to the hopper. A sufficient number of people having voted in favor of the submission, it showed up on the front page.

I mean, how did he got his leg cut? The yt comments say it's not diabetis.

Well a person with the education and experience to be called a surgeon used a series of sharp objects to cut through the skin, remove flesh from one of the bones to form the stump and then sawed through the bones.

Yeah but why did he....





Ok, nevermind.

Piecing together the story from his other videos, he apparently had his leg nearly severed completely due to a work related accident. It was reattached, but for years caused him tremendous pain because of the pins and other things used to keep it attached. He had to take drugs for the pain and for the risk of infection. After needing more surgery to correct the leg, he opted instead to have it removed so as to not be in pain anymore or have to take drugs.
