Lurid Work Stories"I know a railwayman of 40-odd years' service," says Juan Quar, "and he tells me a new gruesome yarn each time we meet. Last week's was of checking the time on the wristwatch of a severed arm he'd just collected after a track fatality."
Tell us the horrible stories you tease the new hires with, or that you've been told.
NB By definition, these are probably all made up. Roll with it

I found a duckling (Bob) a couple of years ago, hanging upside down from a thorn. Bob had successfully degloved his foot from about halfway down the leg to the toes - I took him to a vet, who reckoned she could just sort of roll it back up like a sock, put in a couple of stitches, and all would be well.
I hope they didn't just wait until I was gone and cut his fucking leg off :(

Amputation isn't the 'only' treatment for a degloving as the OP suggests......there's frequently the options of a skin graft and/or flap(a tissue transfer or rotation) available as well as the aforementioned 'quick stick it up back on again' if you're fast enough.

Whilst this is very good news for people in general, I don't expect they'd have bothered with the other options for Bob. For one thing, I only gave them 15 quid as it was all I had in my pocket, and for another, duck is delicious.
