Reply to comment by [deleted] in when a limb gets amputated, how do they stop the flow of blood? by EnchantedCatto

I’m sorry but this is confidently incorrect. You don’t connect arteries to veins during amputations. You just ligate them to cut off the bleeding.

Well maybe if Paw-paw splurged for the leech, it would've fed off his blood and grown to be leg-sized. Then Paw-paw and his leech-leg would've been able to travel the world as a medical marvel. Some real PT Barnum stuff.

That sounds amazing!! I wonder how much weight a leg sized leech could bear.
