How does John Wayne Thompson not make this list? The kid has both arms ripped off by PTO, kicks a door in to get into his house in the dead of winter, calls for help by dialing a rotary phone with a pencil in his teeth, then waits for help in the bathtub because he doesn’t want to bleed on Mom’s new carpets. Both arms successfully reattached and he becomes an international celebrity.

On the tv show “Ripley’s Believe it or Not” there wa a story of a man who had to have his penis removed as a treatment for cancer. The doctors removed one of his middle fingers and used that to construct a penis for him. I have no way of knowing whether or not thats true, but that is an awesome story. I think it happened in Italy. They interviewed a man who was missing a middle finger and showed a lot of pictures of him in a surgical situation (no new penis pics unfortunately.) i know its been a while since this list was written, but maybe a follow-up list is in order?

I heard of another reattachment surgery, as described in the 70′s I believe in China Reconstructs. A woman had both feet severed and one leg crushed. Her foot was reattached to the opposite leg giving her some mobility. I would love to have a copy of this article, and don’t know if you are still researching these surgeries.

I don't really know what to say about 2 of the things on this list having happened in my hometown of Louisville KY. Either they have a lot of things being ripped off bodies, or they're really good at reattaching things. Maybe it's both. a
