OK , I have a true story. 4th of July in the late 70's on Lake Stevens in brother-in-law's ski boat. His brother is water skiing and eats it big time ,wraps his finger in the rope before letting go. Blood all over the place when he got into the boat. Finger hanging on by the bone. 6 of us on the boat ,2 teenage boys who are driving all day(because we are not drunk) 3 doctors ;heart surgeon, bone doctor and pathologist who are working on a stockbroker. They cut his wedding ring off with pliers then put his finger back on and stitch it with a fishing tackle box of tools and wrapped his hand with a T-shirt. And we hauled @$$ back to the dock, that boat had a 454 I-O jet drive did over 60mph and the drunk doctors were done. And my uncle was asking for another beer !
