[Elecraft] Left-handed amputations

[Fred Jensen]

Remember the quote I found and put into both the solicitation and report
regarding left-handers being more accident prone, and more likely to
amputate fingers and thumbs with power tools?

I volunteer at the local blood center, and today a woman came in to
donate.  Her husband was with her on crutches, with one of those
full-leg heavy splints with the foam rubber on his right leg.  He saw my
leg brace and after I had told him my story, I asked him if he had had
knee surgery.  He said, "No, unfortunately I tried to amputate my leg
with a power saw."  I asked him, "Are you left handed?" He said, "Why
yes, I am ... very much so.  How did you know?"  He seemed to be in some
amount of pain, and I decided it best to let it go with, "Just a lucky
guess."
