i chopped my toe in half right into the bone when i was 6.... nearest hospital was an hour drive away and it took 40 mins to get service... good old south africa... meanwhile dad was pinching it shut with his fingers and then tied a cloth around it to keep pressure on..
my old man cut half his big toe off and a quarter of the toe next to it with a pocket knife, not by accident but having your foot pinned down by a grader blade and no one around for miles or days out in the sticks , well the alternative was


, he then drove home, had a shower changed his clothes and drove to the emergency ward where they kept him in for a few days and then flew him up to perth to get his handy work cleaned up by someone with more skill than him and sharper knives

.
he was 75 when he did it too!
