Reattaching severed arm of young man who used knife to cut himself

(Baonghean.vn) - The leader of the People's Committee of Quang Son commune (Do Luong) confirmed that in the commune, there was a suspected case of a person cutting his own hand in the bathroom and it was successfully reattached.

Accordingly, on the afternoon of December 10, in Hamlet 10, Quang Son Commune, the mother of Le Van Ngoc (27 years old) heard her son calling for her in the bathroom. When she opened the door, she saw that her son's left hand had been severed, with blood flowing profusely.

Although terrified, Ngoc's mother remained calm and called the neighbors for help. Luckily, there was a retired military doctor near Ngoc's house who bandaged and iced her hand before taking her straight to the 115 Hospital for emergency treatment.

Doctor Dang Van Hung Minh - Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology, Hospital 115 said that at about 3:30 p.m. on December 10, the hospital received a patient with a severed left hand. The severed part was kept in an ice box by relatives.

After 5 hours of surgery, the patient's hand was successfully reattached. Medical history showed that the patient used stimulants before cutting off his hand with a knife. The reattached hand is now rosy and has good blood circulation.

Through discussions with Quang Son commune police, it is known that Ngoc is a young man who lives a rather gentle life, without any bad reputation in the locality. However, in recent times, many people have seen Ngoc showing unusual psychological signs, suspected of being depressed and autistic./.
