PHOTOS: Man Has Severed Hand Stitched To His LEG To Keep It Alive

The picture above may look like a man scratching his ankle but it is actually a hand stitched to a leg to keep it alive.

Xiao Wei's right hand was chopped off by a machine at work and salvaged by colleagues.

But doctors needed to keep it alive while they repaired his arm, which was also flattened in the accident. They decided to attach it to his left ankle to keep the blood flowing to it.

The doctors have finally attached the hand back to its rightful place.
