Doctor here. In order to determine whether a severed finger can be sewn back on, it is important to take an X-ray to see how much the bone has been destroyed.
I’m a hand surgery fellow, have done plenty of these replants. Xrays are not just for diagnosis, they are also needed for treatment planning. We actually need this X-ray image to tell us HOW to go about reattaching the finger (and if it’s possible or in the patient interest).
I’m guessing they’re pointing out that it’s been cut, as opposed to being torn off.
Looks like a penis. As If it had bone in it.

Good think
This is a real stitch!
No doctor, but it looks like the body has been cut off, hope it’s okay 🙁
I concur, do you concur doctor?
Or
“This finger is missing the rest of the patient”
Correlate clinically.
They need to remember the ABC’s of first aid.
A
Bone
Coming out through the skin is very bad.
Nurses: sorry, I’m not allowed to say if it’s been cut or not.
Thanks for the circle though!
I thought it was a penis
Thanks for the subtitles.
Thank god for x rays
Please verify and correlate with clinical findings.
Doctor: Alright Mr Finger. Heres our diagnosis. *pauses*. You’ve lost your body. We cant stitch it back on.
Mr Finger “By god…!”
This is a particularly bad case of being cut in half.
They must’ve made for a good patient in the imaging department; no last minute shuffling about
I read the comments and realize that there are a lot of really clever people in r/funny.
Jeffery D here, are you gonna eat that
