Woman's hand that was chopped off in machine was saved by co-workers

A woman is expected to make a full recovery after her hand was sliced off by a coconut-chopping machine.

Santha was working in a coconut oil factory in Iiritty, India when her left hand accidentally slipped into the machine and was severed from her arm.

Thanks to her colleagues, who reacted quickly and rushed their co-worker ─ and her hand ─ to the hospital, surgeons eventually were able to reattach her appendage after several hours.

"It was the presence of mind displayed by Santha's colleagues to bring the cut-off palm in a bag of ice along with the patient [that] was the crucial thing in this case," Dr. Krishnakumar, head of plastic and reconstructive surgery at Aster MIMS hospital, told news service SWNS.
