Man Cuts Off His Hand With Circular Saw
Edited on Thu Aug-05-04 02:10 PM by matcom
<snip>

It happened so fast, in a flash of steel and blood, that for a split-second all he could do was reel in pain and clutch his bleeding right limb to his chest.

Marcel DiMaggio was using a circular saw to cut a board for a cabinet he was building in his parents' garage last Wednesday night, when he suddenly lost control of the machine. As a horrible pain spread through his arm, DiMaggio, a grounds keeper for the Jericho schools, knew he'd cut himself, probably badly.

"All of a sudden the whole door was pounding," said Charles DiMaggio, Marcel's father. "And there he was, screaming, 'Take me to the hospital.'"

"What did you cut, two fingers?" Charles DiMaggio said as they sped from the home Marcel shares with his parents in Glen Cove to North Shore University Hospital at Glen Cove. But Marcel, 35, was hysterical and the car was dark.

When they stepped into the hospital's emergency room, DiMaggio saw for himself.

Marcel had no hand.

DiMaggio sped the four minutes back to his home, praying the whole way. His wife, Angela DiMaggio, wanted to know why he was back so soon.

"I've got to get the hand," he said.

She screamed and he ran into the garage to retrieve it where it lay on the floor.

7. Eeeeep!
That can't be good! My friends dad took the tip of one finger off with a table saw a couple years ago. His wife forbid all future wood working projects. Fortunately, he just lost the last maybe half inch of the ring finger on his left hand.

The whole hand, though! What a drag!
