The plastic surgeon we worked with for a while was super proud of a reconstruction he did on a gentleman who got his pants caught in machinery. As it was going it created a 'degloving' injury that affected him from about thigh to navel, including those parts most precious to us all. Some of the hardest pics I've seen in a grand rounds, but they did get him reconstructed and functional. It made sense of all the 'overcautious BS' from shop teachers about no long sleeves. Also had a peer weld his class ring to a frame rail by removing the starter w/o disconnecting the battery - caught the ring finger between the hot lead of the solenoid and the frame and it instantly spot welded it in place. That was late spring of senior year so never found out if he kept anything of the finger (he didn't return to school that year).
