Sean McHugh of Allentown, PA accidentally cut off his own hand with a circular saw. He quickly placed the hand into the freezer, wrapped up his wrist, and drove himself to the hospital. He never lost consciousness, and the bleeding had stopped. Police were able to fetch the hand from his freezer for doctors, who spent over 8 hours reattaching it.
Just how he managed to sever his entire hand with a circular saw was not clear, but doctors said he should regain partial use after if it was re-attached.
Hmmm, could be kin to Crazy Dave from Montgomery, Alabama who - convinced his left hand was possessed and causing him to masturbate too much, cut it off with some sort of electric saw. And then refused to allow the hospital to re-attach it.
Not an urban legend either - although, admittedly, it sounds like one. :)
