This is going to be one of the weirdest BOSSIP articles you’ve ever read.
DailyTelegraph is reporting that Australian farmer Zac Mitchell lost his thumb after being attacked by a bull, and decided to have it replaced with the big toe.
“The bull was coming through the yard and it run me over … my boss said ‘is your head or your hand bleeding?’” Mr Mitchell said.
After their best attempt to save the appendage, doctors concluded that they couldn’t reattached the thumb and offered 4-finger Zac another option…
“I just wanted a plastic one, a prosthetic one and they talked me out of that. But they said we’ve got to cut your toe off … there wasn’t another option,” Mr Mitchell said.
As far as life with no big toe goes…
“I haven’t fallen over anyway, I don’t think it’s had much of an effect on the balance,” he said.
Would you cut of you toe to fix your hand?
