Here’s some weekend craziness for you. The Register Hardware is reporting that a British surgeon performed an arm amputation on a 16 year old boy assisted by a series of 10 text messages send by phone. The young man was in danger for his life after his arm turned gangrenous, the result of a hippo bite. The boy survived. The doctor sending the text signed off with “Easy! Good luck!”.
