My Chiropractor Cut His Hand Off

Just like the title says.

I’m not sure if that qualifies as the literal definition of irony — but it could probably fit into an Alanis Morissette song.

Home improvement accident. (This is why you should hire carpenters to work with power tools for you. BTW as often as you hear about guys slicing off hands and fingers with power saws — is there a reason someone isn’t selling kevlar work gloves that go up to the elbow? Really.)

They were able to pack it in ice and reattach it. But the doctors say he’ll never work in his field again. He’s swearing he’ll recover fully – – but he’s a stubborn guy like that.

This guy has kept me walking for the last year and a half.

I’m very sorry for him — but I’m also (yeah, somewhat guiltily) sorry that I have to find a new guy to crack my spine regularly.
