March Madness
Australian Surgeons Reattach Boy's Foot, Hands
This incident took place "after a freak basketball accident...when a brick wall supporting a basketball backboard gave way as [Terry Vo] executed a slam dunk at a friend's birthday party...the weight and force of the collapse, and the sharp brick edges and a broken metal rain gutter, cut Vo's three limbs just above the wrists and ankle."
Dr. Robert Love, the dude who sewed a kid back together, says he expects a full recovery for the boy, and continues "I'm sure that he'll enjoy a game of basketball in the future."
Although I respect Dr. Love's opinion as a man of science, I'd like to humbly offer a second opinion which is that Terry Vo will in fact never enjoy the game of basketball again.
