Very well put, if it wasnt for the skill of a Thai surgeon at a government hospital, i would not be making this post.

We have both been blessed by the dedication and skills of a surgeons in different parts of the world mate. They are worth every cent they’re paid. Forever grateful ????????

Not to be derogatory, but surgery replacing a thumb with a big toe and visa versa was started in the late 1970's.

Nothing spectalar in surgery, but a good acomplishment by a surgeon and his theatre team, thai or farang.

Well done to all of the surgical team.

BTW, just don't ask the kid if his feet smell, or his nose runs....if the answer is yes, the kid will have been built upside down. 555.

Co-worker 30 years ago had this procedure done.

Thai surgeons have become real good re-attaching cut off body parts. Must be due to all the practise thanks to wives cutting off bits of their hubbies who went a bit astray.

A different kind of procedure, but my life was saved by a surgical team that grafted a piece of a vein from my leg into my heart to route blood  around a couple of arteries blocked by clots and rerouted my mammary artery to bypass a third, all while my heart was turned off for a couple of hours! Amazing these docs today.

Happy for that youngster.

The story of the operation was recounted by orthopedic surgeon Dr Wichit Sirithatthamrong of Chularat 3 Inter hospital online.

Shame he wasn't the first doctor to treat the patient.. might have saved the real thumb !
