Husband Injured At Work-may Lose Finger Posted: 02-13-06 03:59am
I dont know where to post this and get a
response...My husband got his finger
caught in a machine at work-may have to
get it amputated. His first surgery is
tomorrow they are going to try to repair
it first.
We may sue his employer- wondering if
anyone has any advice or has undergone
anything similar????

Personally havent gone through this myself
but have known chefs who have severed
their fingers and have had them
reattached.
I would all depend on how badly damaged
the nerves and tissues are. If they are
able to repair the nerve and supply enough
blood circulation to the site he should
regain function of his finger. All
depending on how badly damaged it is. Was
it a clean cut? Not a doctor nor a
surgeon so guess you will just have to
wait it out. Good luck!!! Hope the
surgery goes well.
