Woman regrows fingertip!
Don't be afraid to question doctors. This woman is glad she did!
"The doctor who was on call at the emergency room told me there was no way he could reattach my pinky," she says. "I didn't like that, so I asked to see a specialist."
An orthopedic surgeon concurred with the ER doctor, and made an additional recommendation: He'd have to amputate even more of the finger so it would heal properly.
"I was like, no way, with so much technology out there, there must be some other way to do this," she said. "But he said he wouldn't even attempt to reattach it. He said was there was a 100 percent chance of failure," she remembers.
