Chopper saves sawed fingers

A 35 year old Otumoetai man was flown to Waikato Hospital on Thursday afternoon to reattach two of his fingers which were cut off while the man was using an electric saw.
TrustPower TECT Rescue Helicopter's Liam Brettkelly flew the man to Waikato Hospital and believes the man was at work when the incident occurred.

The man was flown from Tauranga to the Waikato at about 4pm.
Liam says the man did not appear to be in any significant pain during the 25 minute flight to Waikato Hospital.
One of the man's arms was completely wrapped in bandages, says Liam.
'At this stage we have no information as to the success of the operation.”
