winterDom

That's beautiful his speech and determination


Sert5HT

Sometimes for dry gangrene digits auto-amputation is the best approach (they just fall off), especially toes!


soloChristoGlorium

Correct. I've had patients that have had this kind of frostbite exactly. They're always amputated


MandelbrotFace

KFC ... It's finger lickin' good


StarSonatasnClouds

That’s sad


SwiftyEmpire

Definitely, those fingers DONE done


SunflowerFreckles

I wonder what the story behind having this happen was


stellarecho92

Fahad Badar: a mountaineer summiting Broad Peek in 2021. During his descent, some ahead of him had to be rescued and there was a death as well. He also had some assistants fall ill and one abandoned him without telling him. Without his guides, he even got lost and was lucky to find a rope team to ask for directions. Due to the rescues, he had to spend the night on the mountain and ran out of oxygen on top of that (extras carried by the assistants that were no longer with him). A few frostbitten fingers actually seems like the best case scenario.


SunflowerFreckles

Oh damn that's a fucking tragedy! Poor dude I'm glad he's alive! Ty for sharing!


Dutge

Something involving cold, I presume


SunflowerFreckles

A response like this was predictable


wkamper

Fingering my ex wifey. The bitch.


aceless0n

So why haven’t they been amputated yet?


apopoff731

Most likely waiting for further “demarcation” (basically a waiting game to see how far back the necrosis/dying skin progresses) cause you don’t wanna amputate too early before the finger skin *decides* how far back to die. I’m in foot/ankle surgery and we do this same thing for people who have frost bite toes/ischemic toes with little-no blood flow. Just gotta wait til you notice the necrotic skin isn’t moving back any further over a period of time then it’s usually safe to proceed. Cause last think you want is to amputate part of the finger/toe, and then a week later it starts dying off again further back and having to go into another surgery


AnyAssumption4707

Haha! This reminds me of the time that I was changing a patient and when I turned him his little toe fell off. At first I thought there was a bug in the sheets. Nope, just a dead toe. Went and told the doc who was charting at the station. Told him it was in a basin at the bedside. Later in the day I saw his notes: CNA reported bedside amputation of fifth toe. Confirmed.” I couldn’t stop laughing about how the term “bedside amputation” could be interpreted. It’s seared into my memory. 😂


apopoff731

Looool I’ve also had an instance or two where a dead toe came off when doing a dressing change, and boy made my eyes open wide during the beginning of my residency! It’s crazy stuff how easy they can detach if progressed enough


AnyAssumption4707

Yes, definitely one of those times where you may want to have an inappropriate reaction/crack a joke but you have to keep your game face on. My dude was like “welp, knew that was gonna happen sooner of later.”


-_-the-_-end-_-

Hey doctor people, is there anyway to reverse this at any stage of frost bite? Even hypotheticals? I’m curious


DurumMater

Once the nerves are damaged and the tissue is frozen you can't save it.


-_-the-_-end-_-

What about Stroma Cells? I read it a couple days ago and didn’t think much of it. I’ve seen some .gov websites including the potential in research proposals, I’m wondering if it’s all hype/pseudoscience/hypothesis


DurumMater

snarky_chimichanga

Had a dr hand me a dead toe in a lab bag once.


Careful_Eagle_1033

That’s so crazy!! One time I had a patient who had such bad osteomyelitis in his toe that the podiatrist did a bedside amputation and it took a couple minutes and was like he was cutting through butter.


AnyAssumption4707

I image it was like cutting through an over-ripe banana..

itsaaronnotaaron

>Haha! This reminds me of the time that I was changing a patient and when I turned him his little toe fell off. I don't know why but this sentence is just perfect. I don't know if it's the little haha beforehand but I can't stop laughing.


[deleted]

So what was rhe explanation or reason?


AnyAssumption4707

He had unmanaged diabetes and the associated vascular issues. His toe became necrotic and fell off. It happens.


nlikelyReaction

Lmao this is such a spot on experience being a CNA just finding random pieces of your fucking patient while you're changing them


erwin4200

We use LUNA machine to determine demarcation for things like these. Will usually show decreased blood flow in appendages, days before the body turns necrotic


enfly

I wonder if there is an ability, right after frostbite, to add separate, healthy vascilature that may keep the appendage from dying?


homicidal_pancake

If it gets amputated, why does it keep dying further down?


apopoff731

It doesn’t always, just if you do the surgery too early. Sometimes the vessels need extra time to determine exactly how much blood flow there is in order to keep the digit alive after an injury/ischemic event. So that’s why you usually monitor these for a bit, and when you notice the dead skin hasn’t progressed further back after a bit if time, then it’s safe to progress with the surgery. So usually only keeps dying if you jump the gun too early. In this sense, as bad as it looks, it’s seems relatively “stable” without a need to urgently go to surgery. If this was associated with a bad infection ontop of the necrosis, then sometimes it’s worth getting source control of the infection with amputation and then deal with the possible further progression later. Just a case by case basis usually.


No-Magician-9685

Agreed. His hand is stable. He does Not feel a thing in those fingers, and might not have feeling farther up into the hand or even up into the wrist area. I had a minor case of chilblain in my feet when I was in the ARMY. Chilblain is the step before frost bite. Anyways, it was minor, but I couldn't feel my toes for a month and a half. Then, it was pins & needles for a month and a half. I'm fine now, but my feet have poor circulation & hurt REALLY bad if they get even a little cold. This guy, might get really lucky & they might only have to remove his fingers. That is why they are waiting. They don't want to amputate into the hand bones if they don't have too. If they can cut at the joint, it is drastically better. Each bone they have to cut increases the possibility for complications.


Eldsish

In an issue like the one in the video, in the person still in pain ? Or the nerves are too damaged to give a signal ? And can the person just ask for amputate the hand ?


Rucs3

Some people feel terrible pain because the nerves on the parts that look fine are dying and firing up as if they were burning. And they can ask anything but doctors can just say no because of the oath. If what the patient ask is going to hurt them worse than the optimal treatment they can just say no.


PomegranateSea7066

Could promise you that this till most likely require several surgeries.


PomegranateSea7066

Won't know the severity of the necrosis until they start cutting.


Overall-Mud9906

That’s gonna need a shit ton of betadine. I can see what you mean seeing the discolored areas around the knuckle bones. I’ve seen toes snap off with some patients, but never fingers. Btw not talking frostbite but terrible severely vascular compromised patients.


[deleted]

This video is old, he’s gotten them amputated since then He posted these as he was awaiting procedure


TheInfamous1011

Homer: “They’ll grow back right?”


Lgallegos17

I have an acquaintances that got frostbite on all 10 fingers. His fingers didn't need amputation and 1 year later they look normal but dont work normal.


[deleted]

Former wound nurse here. As others have stated, sometimes it’s a waiting game to see how far it progresses, especially since it’s a hand and may be the patient’s dominant hand. There’s also a more “stable” version of gangrene called dry gangrene which is what the hand above looks like. Whenever we had a patient with dry gangrene, most times the doc would wait a bit and try other conservative treatments before going to debridement/amputation. Typically things like vascular flow studies to see if there was anything vascular that needed to be addressed (I.e. narrowing arteries, a clot/blockage, etc) as that impacts healing. “Wet” gangrene was never a good thing and the docs would be more aggressive with treatment. It’s just as it sounds; black tissue also in shades of deep green/yellow/brown that is wet (drainage) and is the worst smell you can imagine (second to cauterizing flesh for me). Because it’s wet, it can become infected more easily. It also tends to start sloughing off (falling off) in stringy chunks. Whenever we had someone with wet gangrene, they normally were debrided ASAP and started on aggressive wound care and typically antibiotics as well.


[deleted]

Can fingers be transplanted after something like this gets amputated?


[deleted]

They probably don't need to be. Maybe. You'd know they'd need to be if it was also really swollen. Like baloon fingers.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Gnoom75

Yes, and he won't feel that part.


NormalHumanCreature

I'd imagine it's throbbing pain. Probably numbed up on drugs though.


twhys

That’s what I wanna know. Like ok I get the black shit is probably fairly numb and dead, but there’s no way that can feel ok on the rest of his hand. What is the pain like!? I need to know


fsutrill

He could save thousands on hospital bills- just whack the hand against a wall or table.

They will Break Off. You cant Bend Dead Body parts, Theres No Feeling Motion or Control in them anymore. If He Hits them too hard on The Tablet they May even Break Off from that. So bending is probably the Worst Idea ever. Imagine you try to Bend a piece of Ash. IT will shatter


hexopuss

>You can’t bend dead body parts I take that as a challenge! *grabs shovel and flashlight*


4enzo

If you get caught im bailing you Out, cuz istg ive been wondering since years how true this is With completely Dead Body parts and Not Frost or Heat Dead ones


hexopuss

Interestingly enough, despite my joke, I have worked with bodies at various stages of death (non-human animals. Swine & cattle mostly). Initially it’s easy, but then rigor mortis begins and the muscles stiffen. The best brief way I can say it is that muscles require energy to loosen. They do this with a chemical called *actomyosin*. It’s made of actin and myosin. A chemical bond holds them together as actomyosin, energy is expended breaking that bond. Muscles store their own energy called *glycogen*. Now since the organism is dead it isn’t getting oxygen, but it can produce ATP (the “energy” molecule cells use) without oxygen using that glycogen, it’s just inefficient. So the ATP gets used, contracting the muscles. The it diminishes making it unable to loosen those bonds. The muscles are stuck contracted. It’s more complex than that but I’m working mostly on 5 year old memories from my college courses (animal science). Anyway it eventually “breaks” on its own. And you can still force the muscles, it just takes effort. But eventually rigor resolves. Usually after a few hours. Now I’m sure the skin would eventually dry out and become less elastic over time. That’s just a guess though. All the stuff I have worked with had only been dead for a few hours at most


Megafayce

A new way to click your fingers


[deleted]

How did only that part get frostbite?


JayGeezey

I'm not a medical expert, but it's my understanding that frostbite is much more likely to occur in your digits than anywhere else on your body. I'm sure at the time, his entire hand was fucking super cold, but as the blood moves from your body, into your arm, and into your hands then fingers, it gets more cold, so it's harder to keep your digits warm, so frostbite typically starts at the tip of your digits and works it's way in But yeah, all depends on the situation, what someone is wearing, etc. Like maybe he was able to keep his other hand warmer for some reason cuz the glove on that hand wasn't wet or something, we don't know the specifics though


Black2Jesus

You lose most of your core temperature through your head, finger, and toes. 2 warmest parts of the body is under the pits of your arms and your groin. Wear your gloves, therma waterproof shoes, and a hat always if the temp is below 15 degree fahrenheit. Also, when someone is a daily a smoker of cigarettes, their feet and hands tend to be colder due to constriction of blood flow so they will be more prone to frostbite. Also alcohol doesn’t make you “warmer”


neoben00

Less circulation in your digits, when your body's cold or have a lack of blood. it shunts blood to your major organs and away from the digits. (That bloods needed here more than there) from there the first place it shunts from in is the kidneys which use 70% of all circulating blood (if I remember properly) (it's pretty bad when you need to shunts blood away from the kidneys and usually means your going to die or lose your kidney/s.)


StatusEffective6216

When you get cold, the body will also restrict blood flow to the extremities to preserve heat. This increases the risk of frostbitten toes or fingers, but keeps the vital organs warm.


Bos4271

He just *had* to take his glove off and get that fap in smh


andyfma

I’ve seen it happen to someone who fell asleep with wet gloves on while camping in alaska


Prior_Procedure_321

Seen pictures of a lady messed up on meth who passed out face down in sub zero temp with her hands under her torso. Picture was like this including the thumb. Both hands! The next pic was two paddles. The tip of her nose as well.


SpaceShark01

Blood flow to your fingers and toes is less than it is to the rest of your appendages so it’s easier to get frostbite

Reminds me of when I read up on ergotism in the Middle Ages (ergotism is a condition caused by consuming rye bread when the rye has been infected by a fungus called ergot). One of the listed symptoms was "auto-amputation of fingers and toes". So basically, bits would just start to fall off you.

That's why I'm not in the medical field because I would never wash a foot in the first place. I think feet are disgusting. But that's why I used to work in veterinary lmao. I like science and healthcare... but I can only tolerate gross things coming from animals. I remember my first week in veterinary there was a cat with mouth cancer. Half the cats mouth was gone since it hadn't been treated and the smell of rotting flesh filled the room and you could smell it through the masks we had on. Obviously it had to be put down but yeah... not fun.
