What was supposed to be a fun project turned into one of the worst experiences of his life. A teen is now thanking doctors for literally piecing it back together. 10 News reporters, Shannon Viotaleed shows you his story
For any teenager pouring a glass of milk may seem like no big deal. But for 16 year old Briant Cummings, it's an accomplishment. Yeah. A year ago while working on a project to repair his boat, Briant to accidentally sawed off his hand.
I just turned the piece of metal and I bought it down like too fast, so bit and it's just stuck my hand through and cut it on an angle like you'd see the scar right there.
Emergency crews were ready to fly him from Boca Raton to Tampa General Hospital, but they left behind one important thing.
We forgot to hand out the house because we were freaking out. So the hand was still laying in the backyard.
Once he made it hand in all these were the doctors who helped save not only Briant's hand but his life
I realized that this was going to be a very complex case obviously, and that's when I put a call into Dr. Nydick to assist me with the case.
Time was ticking. Dr. Nidyck was off. He rushed to the hospital to help.
His circumstances were actually quite good. He was stable. He was young, he was healthy.
By the end of the surgery, Briant was able to move his fingers
I can open and close my hand like that.
Since this type of surgery isn't performed on a daily basis, doctors from Tampa General were able to learn from it.
We recently just implemented different measures to make things a little more efficient, just with equipment being available at all times.
Thanks to caring doctors, this teen has a second chance to do what he loves.
They will reel it in and cast it out. It was really cool. That was the first time, and then I just started fishing from then on, like again, really hard like I used to
In Tampa. If Shannon Viotaleed, 10 news.
Incredible story there. Now this surgery is also being used as a learning tool to help future doctors. Briant will have another surgery soon, and doctors hope you will be able to pinch his fingers once it's complete.
