how does a cut finger get resewn back on with full functionality?
In: Biology
I work at a hospital pharmacy. After the microsurgery we prep and “dispense” ACTUAL leeches, because if we can put a leech on there it will suck the blood through and increases chances of keeping the limb by like 90% or something crazy (but don’t quote me on that number)
Unfortunately sharing leeches is like sharing needles, so when they come back down after use we give them a nice swim in alcohol and then a flush down the potty.
We keep them in the fridge with special salt water so they stay alive for a long time and “sleep” but those little buggers sure are good at squeezing through tiny openings! We keep them double bucketed. We give them a nice bath once a week in new salty water.
