I don't see why not. I took my tonsils home with me after they were removed.
You're right! It is your arm, you should be able to do with it what you want!
absolutely not they will dispose of it immediately after surgery if not durng. it is a medical waste and unsafe
wow is that a joke because its not funny
Your new name is abbeystein
Nope, which is too bad because that would make a bitchin' necklace.
Who cares about sharks teeth when you could be wearing your own arm-bones.
what would you do with it, put it on dislpay?
Sorry, but I am seriously doubting it. It wouldn't be sanitary. The arm would decompose eventually anyways. You don't want to see ,your once arm,like that.
no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it will decay!!!
I don`t think it`s allowed.....but if you creep out back when they are done you could retrieve it from the dumpster. lol.
Maybe if you put in a special request, they`ll let you stuff it and use it as a back scratcher. I admire your sense of humour.
maybe you can give it a headstone & bury it in the back yard like the kid who lost his arm did in the movie fried green tomatos.i thought it was pretty cool. :)
I know how you feel and I am sorry about your arm but they will not let you keep it b/c it could rot and actually give off hazardious bacteria that could kill you or make you very sick. Not to mention it will smell gross.
funny!!
i say leave it cuz it is going to be a hard walk to home especially with something amputating!!
In general, hospital dispose of amputated limbs in much the same way that they would dispose of any other "infections waste" (i.e. blood or blood-stained sponges or clothes, used needles, removed organs, etc). They are carefully separated from the rest of the hospital waste, and incinerated.
Under certain special circumstances, usually involving religious traditions (certain Orthodox Jewish sects believe the body should be buried whole if possible), the hospital will embalm the limb and return it to the patient in a special airtight container. This requires a great deal of paperwork, as such removed tissue, if not handled properly, can putrefy and become a source of airborne disease.
Awww I can tell you are really attached to your arm! lol!!
Ask them nicely I am sure the will let you I can't see any arm in it myself!! lol!
