Angry Chinese Man Cuts Off Four Of His Fingers During An Argument With His Wife

A man in north-west China has been hospitalised after he chopped off
four of his fingers during a heated argument with his wife at home.  

The furious husband grabbed a knife and cut off his fingers out of
rage during the fight at their home in Lanzhou, Gansu province. The
man’s horrified wife immediately rushed him to hospital, where doctors
were able to reattach the severed finger on his left hand.

The 35-year-old man told video news site Pear from his hospital bed that he cut off his fingers out of rage in an attempt to ‘let off steam’.  

‘I knew I shouldn’t hit or hurt my wife, so I grabbed the large knife
behind me and chopped off my fingers. I did a stupid thing’ he said.

‘The patient’s left index, middle, ring and little fingers were
completely severed. There was seriously damage to the bone,’ a doctor at
the Lanzhou Hand & Foot Surgical Hospital told reporters on
Friday. 

The doctor added that the man would not be able to attain 100 per
cent of normal motion from his reattached fingers. ‘We performed
emergency surgery and successfully reattach his fingers, but permanent
partial loss of function is inevitable in the future,’ he added.  

The man is now recovering in hospital after the operation.    The
husband admitted that both he and his wife regret losing their temper
after the incident.
