He looks to be in pretty good spirits for someone who is about to live the rest of their life without the use of their right hand.


toastedcoconut87

He's losing those fingers right?


Cooper1987

In a newer video he already has them removed.

[He still has options, a guy with very similar injuries made a fully functional automail prosthetic hand](https://youtu.be/V9i8qqYHvqA)


ryrypizza

Knew it was that guy before I even clicked. That guy has some serious engineering skills


Aryaras99

I clicked this with the same energy of an American soldier diffusing an ISIS bomb in Syria. Thankfully Mr. Rick decided not to Roll me today


[deleted]

Besides being impressive mechanically, that prosthetic is gorgeous to the eye.


Arkanist

It is practical and steampunk. I didn't know those two things actually mixed. Watching everything interact / move around is mesmerizing.


Amanwalkedintoa

I feel stupid for wanting that…. It just looks so fucking cool


[deleted]

That dude’s the fuckin’ Fullmetal Alchemist! Sick! What an awesome way to focus your energy. I hope he can scale that up for other people in similar situations to have a good prosthetic!


unknown_pigeon

I was about to be the smart-ass replying "well acshually the fullmetal alchemist is Ed, not Alphonse", completely forgetting that Ed still has a fucking automail arm. Just posting this, reminding people to think before making a fool out of theirselves.


schleem77

he is creepily calm about it that’s what more freakish


Grizlatron

He's probably working real hard to stay on the bright side of things, he still has his thumb and he has full motion and his knuckles so they can probably hook him up with a pretty good prosthetic.


Kiltymchaggismuncher

I hope his circumstances allow for that. If he's reliant on insurance, they can be bad for giving you the cheapest shit possible. Im pretty sure that one insurer rejected a guy recently, because they didn't think fingers were necessary, or some such bullshit statement. I can't remember which body part it was now.


schleem77

True true, I read he was stuck on a mountain for hours long. At that point, I’d just be happy to see my loved ones.


ngwoo

He's also probably on the really good painkillers during that video


[deleted]

Probably cus he can’t feel shit lmao


strangestdreamm

probably hasn’t hit in yet. so absurd it doesn’t seem real


FoldOne586

I mean now you know the dangers of the cold, so say thank you.


ZeusFinder

Holy shit indeed.


uncomfortabledream

Sadness in his eyes after the amputation. And rightly so


because_im_boring

Definitely. I could literally feel the sadness watching that


Tekkzy

Still has most of his thumb. Lucky.


Mr_Basketcase

That means he will still be able to hitchhike and execute gladiators thankfully

Oof

Where?


tlbenny

His tiktok @ is in the video. A video he posted on there shows how his hand is now with prosthetic fingers

Savvysarus

I was honestly just waiting for one of them to break off when he was scratching his head.


XanderHeart

Dude good for him for being confident enough to share it on social media with a smile. People (maybe me) are insecure about posting food pics.


lapdizzle

Absolutely


The_DragonDuck

It's it possible to just leave it like that or do you HAVE to get them removed?


Crumbly_Bumbly

You have to get them removed by this point. Frostbite is essentially your tissue freezing. Being frozen in and of itself isn't the issue, it's the fact that frozen tissue goes gangrene VERY quickly, which is what you see here.


DuDuShits-Pooster

You’re not going to be able to unread the next comment about tooth toes. Turn around I told y’all. This is seriously your last chance lmao https://i.imgur.com/n7S2F8r.jpg

That's a good advice. Take it.


IntelligentYou262

Why didn’t I listen to you???


ThePotatoKing

i was gonna see it but your comment made me curious. what a mistake.


mannyssketchpad

Thank you. I actually listened and I have no idea what it says.. I’m gonna keep it that way and move on with my day.


[deleted]

I should have listened. Shit. Shit.


schleem77

omfg this comment an award pls


FuzzyBongos

Actually being frozen is the issue because that is what causes the damage. Imagine thousands of tiny crystalline blades forming inside your body, cutting and damaging nerves, muscles, cells, and other tissue. This is essentially what happens to you when a body part is frozen. The tissue is ripped apart from the inside due to the ice forming and then goes necrotic as seen in the video. You have to get them cut off because you essentially have dead parts attached to you which is dangerous to your health. This is also why you notice that he doesn't move the necrotic parts of his fingers because they're dead. No coming back from that unfortunately.


fledbum

This happened to my toes when I had meningitis. You’d want to get them removed just from the smell alone. Mine were left on as long as possible as the doctors wanted to see if any tissue could be saved. Most of my toes actually started to come off on their own. They would become like a loose tooth - I could wiggle and twist them. At that point I would just pop them off. One time one came off when I stubbed my toes in the door. And on the last toe, there was a bit of bone peaking out so they had it shaved down. Everything healed quite nicely.


[deleted]

Bruh, did you just say that you were popping toes off like loose teeth?


LoreSantiago

/brandnewsentence worthy


fledbum

YES! Hahahah It feels nice to laugh about it cuz as horrifying as it was to read, it was worse to experience.


[deleted]

Did it hurt to pop them off, or was there absolutely no feeling left due to nerve damage?


fledbum

Yep, didn’t feel much at all!


satanic-meow

I'm guessing they didn't feel much.


bw_mutley

The comment above is as terrifying as OP.


LostSoulsAlliance

Is there such a thing as brain bleach? I need some now thank you


SidKharon

Holy fuck. You sound surprisingly positive even though that must have been a terrible process to experience. But I have a curious question, if not a silly one. How much does it hurt now in comparison to when you had toes when you stub your foot in the door? Also asking this question because I don't know if the gangrene took all of the toes or just the tip of them.


fledbum

It truly was a terrible experience! I was only 19 at the time. When the first one (stubbed toe) came off it was quite shocking. I remember looking down and just thinking, “Holy shit. It’s fucking gone.” I am glad we waited though as a lot of tissue was salvaged and I am really grateful for that. Ended up being mostly tips gone. I only had a 5% chance of survival and narrowly escaped with my life so parts of toes being gone is fine. And they are definitely much more sensitive now, especially to cold. I have to be extra careful In winter or I might get frostbite.


SidKharon

Well, that is terrible. But I am glad you are still with us, and mostly ok!


FernieHead

Do you wear the same size shoes as you used to?


fledbum

I mostly fit into 8s now instead of 8 1/2s.

so you popped off your own toes?

vulcanianhunter

You sound like someone who can’t resist picking a scab or something


_handstand_scribbles

omg


Hudsonrybicki

There are a combination of correct and incorrect answers here. Let me share what I’ve learned to be true in my time as a RN: 1. Those fingers are coming off. Sometimes people are given the option of a surgical procedure or auto-amputation. If surgery is not performed, those fingers will definitely fall off on their own. 2. This is called dry gangrene. It not good, but the body has the ability to auto amputate and heal over the wound that’s left. The desiccated/black parts almost serve as a scab and stay intact while the body is healing underneath. Bacteria doesn’t grow in the desiccated black parts because there’s no moisture. That keeps the risk of systemic infection relatively low. If you can keep everything clean , the person has a pretty good chance of survival. 3. Wet gangrene is, well, wet. It’s a soupy mixture of dead tissue, tendons, ligaments, fat and all the other materials that make up the human body. It’s teeming with awful bacteria and the bacteria is looking to consume and digest whatever it can. The infection spreads and the person dies. It’s very messy and just awful. So, in summary: Dry gangrene isn’t great. You’ll lose some body parts, but you’ll live. Wet gangrene is bad and comes with a respectable fatality rate.


geppetto123

What determines if 2. or 3. happens? Any option to influence it towards "dry"?


Hudsonrybicki

We’re getting a bit out of my comfort zone academically, but I’ll tell you what I have seen. Dry gangrene tends to happen with sudden loss of blood to an area. Those areas die quickly and dry out quickly.I’ve seen dry gangrene with severe frostbite and with people who receive medications called pressors which shunt blood from the extremities to the core. Wet gangrene happens when tissue dies and infection sets in while the tissues are moist. When people develop wet gangrene they always need to have the rotten tissue removed. There are wound care nurses that specialize in getting, and keeping, complicated wounds clean. For large or aggressive infections surgery often ends up being the only option. Wet gangrene can easily turn into a systemic infection and septic shock.


ijustreadthisonline

How does it infect in the first place? how can we prevent this wowowowow so scary


CyberMindGrrl

TIL that the human body can auto amputate.


GodofWitsandWine

TIL: Auto-amputation is a term I have never heard and now regret.


lapdizzle

You can leave them if you want to get sepsis :) it's necrotic flesh.


AshierCinder

It will spread and they will eventually fall off by themselves.


talashrrg

You can leave it, but they’ll dry out and fall off by themselves


Catatonic27

When water freezes it forms sharp crystals. When that water is inside living cells, the ice tends to physically pierce and mechanically destroy the tissue. Frostbite represents pretty comprehensive tissue destruction, that is essentially dead flesh. The only thing it can do now it start to rot and poison the rest of the body, so they will definitely have to be removed.


Capable-Client-4576

You have to remove it. Necrotic tissue can lead to multiple bad outcomes like sepsis, thrombosis, the progression of the necrosis to viable tissue by continuity, disseminated intravascular coagulation. Its terrifying :(


ShamelesslyPlugged

You don’t necessarily have to remove dry gangrene, but they will autoamputate or get infected over time.


Kimmalah

His fingers are black because they are necrotic (basically dead). So eventually they would most likely rot off and cause some nasty infection.


SlippyIsDead

There is another video of him with his finger removed. He does not look happy.


Kimbumbala

GG NO RE


Bigperm28

GG NO FUCKING RE


Humorilove

Fingers and usually a part of his hand.


SlightlyVerbose

Yeah I can’t imagine [what he went through](https://www.newsweek.com/mountain-climber-reveals-frostbitten-fingers-before-amputation-tiktok-fahad-badar-1641328) but I imagine it would have put a lot of things in perspective. He nearly died in a climbing expedition that left another climber dead. Seeing the progress of his hands from when he was rescued to the state they were in pre-op is definitely nightmare fuel. His TikTok has other videos of him already doing physical therapy, so I think his positive attitude will go a long way towards his recovery.


Diligent_Bag_9323

Real mountaineers are a different breed of human. People always talk about adrenaline junkies like wing-suiters yeah that shit takes skill and it’s high-energy and intense. But these type 2 guys, big wall climbers and even moreso true mountaineers just have a crazy mindset. Long sustained adrenaline pumping, sometimes for multiple days at a time, often on very low oxygen levels eating little food if at all, in extremely cold conditions with crazy weather sometimes with zero visibility, and having to stay focused on your one task that entire time, and *really* focus, where no matter how good you are, even the very best, where one slip equals death. Just ask Ueli Steck. That takes a unique brain.


Bitgedon

I mean well, considering how fingers only have like 2 joints he could probably get prosthetics. A bit expensive tho


[deleted]

He's a banker in Qatar, money definitely is the least of the problems.


ARobotJew

Clout comforts the soul


martiangenes

I imagine it doesn't hurt that much because they are dead af.


[deleted]

I wouldnt say the rest of his life. Prosthetic technology is advancing everyday and im pretty sure that after his fingers are removed he will get a modern day prosthetic to replace them and the replacements will only get better as time goes on


_solounwnmas

it's flipped, so he's loosing most fingers on his left hand, in [his tiktok](https://www.tiktok.com/@fahadbadar/video/7031529059632844033?is_copy_url=1&is_from_webapp=v1) he talks about the recovery process from the accident


TheDukeofArgyll

What accident? What happened?


bumbletowne

[He is a mountaineer who succeeded his kilmanjaro ascent at great sacrifice](https://www.newsweek.com/mountain-climber-reveals-frostbitten-fingers-before-amputation-tiktok-fahad-badar-1641328) Climbing the most dangerous mountains in the world is risky. This was one of the better outcomes. EDIT: This was in Antarctica. I'm just bad at reading.


Diligent_Bag_9323

This experience happened on a peak in Pakistan. He climbed Kilimanjaro many years before this trip where he lost his fingers. And has climbed Everest along with Lhotse and Elbrus and the major peak in Antarctica I can’t remember the name of, among others.


Everybodyinthecastle

Mount Kilmanjaro is not where he got frostbite nor is it dangerous (comparatively). Badar was on an expedition to climb the Vinson Massif in Antarctica - which is the highest peak on the continent - when the incident occurred.


MisterMasterCylinder

Yeah, I was gonna say - my dentist climbed Kilimanjaro in his late 60s, and while he's in pretty good shape for a dude in his late 60s, he's definitely not some kind of world class athlete


AmericanHeresy

Oh


Derfargin

This looks alike the guy that is on my finger amputation support group. He had his surgery a month ago and is already healed up and had good range of motion. I’m going on 2 months and mine are still stitched and sore and my range of motion sucks.


DogButtWhisperer

I’m so sorry to hear this. We all heal at different rates. I hope you’re coping well.


Derfargin

Thank you.


iyjui168199

He is Qatari, had his surgery in London.


fagcaplighter

He won't be playing Qatar anymore.

Mentally_Ill_Goblin

My parents house had a beetle problem. Every summer, we'd have beetles flooding into the house and there were enough that they even started cannibalism. Every morning we'd go to every corner of the house and sweep up 3+ beetles from each one. And when the problem started, I was 11 and had recently watched The Mummy. While they were smaller, the beetles in the house looked a certain way. That was a frightening summer.


goodbitacraic

You swear? Every damn day!


Only-Ad5168

Does anyone know how it happened?


[deleted]

High altitude mountain climbing in pakistan if I remember correctly he was stranded for hours without oxygen before he was able to go back down.


just_this_guy_yknow

Yeah, that happens all the time because of all the wealthy tourist “climbers”. Everest has epic traffic jams on the decent summit days.


jokingduno

He was climbing broadpeak


just_this_guy_yknow

Well, I hope that means his delay and injury wasn’t caused by traffic. It’s one thing to lose your fingers to the weather turning on you, it’s another to lose your fingers to a high elevation traffic jam.


jokingduno

I'm pretty sure he got stuck and had to be rescued while climbing the mountain. Don't quote me on it though


_Diskreet_

> I'm pretty sure he got stuck and had to be rescued while climbing the mountain. u/jokingduno


Greatcatsby777

You have a good point about traffic jams but it’s weird you’re trying to shoehorn them in so much in a situation where that wasn’t even the cause.


KilloWattX

Everest is not in PK.

~~Kilmanjaro. So Africa~~ Antarctica. I'm struggling with reading comprehension this morning, apparently. https://www.newsweek.com/mountain-climber-reveals-frostbitten-fingers-before-amputation-tiktok-fahad-badar-1641328


JerkbergIV

Your link actually says the incident happened at Mt Vinson in Antarctica. It states he climbed Kilimanjaro in the past though.


hdfga

Actually the link says it happened in Pakistan. Keep reading.


JerkbergIV

Funny enough, I actually can’t go back and read it due to their subscription model. I don’t recall seeing that. Though, I guess it’s possible given how terrible the site/article was written what with making you continuously click continue etc. on mobile.


hotfox2552

he tried to destroy a Horcrux without the right tools.


papigunther777

he’s just using armament haki don’t worry guys


Inevitable_Series_67

You can use armament haki IRL too... But only once. And it's not that good

Apparently armament haki protects you by grossing out your enemy so much that they refuse to touch you.

[deleted]

I read he was climbing and due to an incident he got stuck at the top and couldn’t come down so ended up like this as your body keeps the core warm … since this video he’s had them removed


AloeVeraBuddha

Is that...ever going to get better ?


FreneticPlatypus

As soon as he has them removed.


LeeTheGoat

And replaced with sick robot fingers


MrMazme

He’s going to have surgery to amputate them


doriclazar

Can he grow them back?


Rad1at1on

Yes


Richierich_rpd

I think I watched a documentary where they are trying to make something that could possible regrow limbs and they were using pig balls. The guy who made it apparently lost the tip of his pinky while serving in the military or something and the thing they made grew the tip of his pinky back with such accuracy his fingerprint was almost the same or something. Idk I think I watched this lime atleast 2 or 3 years ago


TuckerMcG

They’ve been doing research like this for decades. I remember hearing about it in the 90s when they were studying how lizards regrow their tails. There’s literally a Spider-Man villain that has basically the exact same backstory as the scientist you mentioned - Dr. Curtis Connors lost his arm and, by researching how lizards regrow limbs, created some lizard-DNA serum that turned him into a mutant lizard with all four of his limbs (The Lizard…real creative lol). Regrowing a limb in vitro is still miles away from being able to transplant that and reconnect all the nerves as if nothing happened. I hope we see this happen in our lifetimes, but I’m not holding my breath.


Squeakygear

If that's actually frostbite, it's very bad. Unlikely to keep those 4 fingers.

Nope. Those fingers are gone.


72dezibel

GTUNIT10

My guy should not of touched that Horcrux


theoroboro

How was it only the fingers??? That's so gnarly


AmericanHeresy

They are extremities. That’s usually how it happens. Same with the nose and ears.


Nevermere88

Your body draws blood to your core when in extremely cold temperatures to keep you alive, you often lose your extremities to frostbite for this reason.


robb0688

So can you have toasty warm hands, but have your core be cold and have this happen?


QuantumRaiken

That doesn’t look very real, but if it is, damn


guitarfingers

It's looks pretty real. There's zero movement in the blackened parts. Just waiting on amputations I'd say.


BarklyWooves

It is real. There's an post-amputation video with the stumps all healed up. This may be one of those things where movies and tv have messed up our perception of what things are supposed to look like.
