What happens when you are working to break up large rocks and one goes flying, smashing into your hand against another rock?
This unfortunate man found out the hard way...
The tip of his bone was actually sheared off by the rock's impact.
The tip of his finger was irreparable, so Michael decided to cut the severed part off and stitch it.
He numbed the entire finger for the operation.
After the finger was numbed completely Michael was able to proceed with removing the damaged tissue.
After about an hour the job was all finished up!
