英国鞋匠手指被夹断 医生移花接木将脚趾变手指

David Lee, a professional cobbler, was repairing the heel of a shoe when his hand got hurt in the machine. The accident reportedly resulted in Lee’s thumb getting severed from his hand. “I shouted for someone to ring an ambulance, but I couldn’t see how bad it was. I saw my thumb drop on the floor,” he said. “I had no pain though. I didn’t look as I compressed it with my jumper. I calmly turned the machines in the shop off. I walked straight away, and I knew how bad it was and I just worried that I wouldn’t be able to fix shoes again. I went outside for a cigarette while I waited for the ambulance.”
Lee admits that he cried his eyes out when he thought about it, as he thought he was going to lose his shop. He was more concerned about that than his thumb because this is his passion. After being taken to a nearby hospital, he was transferred to the Pulvertaft Hand Centre, at Royal Derby Hospital, where doctors suggested using his big toe to replace the thumb. Lee agreed, saying his main concern was his business.
When he was asked about his new thumb, he said, “It feels heavy having a toe where the thumb should be.” Now, after recovering from the injury, Lee is back to cobbling and he’s even able to use his toe-thumb to paint shoes, which he says is a hobby of his.
