The fuck is wrong with him!?! Even if we had advanced cybernetics or could grow body parts, I wouldn't be chopping off parts of my body just to skip injury time.
Is this an Australia thing as I remembered how they tried to pressure Novac to take the vaccine to play and he refused siting he'd rather wait to get the title and record than risk his body to do so. He was at least foreign so could escape the prison colony so I can't imagine the pressure domestic athletes are under who have no escape.
he consulted a plastic surgeon and the medical advice was that it was so badly mangled it would not likely function even if they successfully made it look normal again
He was told it may not regain full function, which is quite different from being told it's not likely to function.
He urgently consulted a plastic surgeon who said that even with surgery to repair the finger - and the long recovery time - it may not regain full function
And knowing doctors, "may not" usually means "it probably will but I don't want to say that and be wrong so I'll play it safe."

I know someone who accidentally cut his finger off while using some tool. It was in a bad shape but he made it in time to get it reattached.
It dosen't ''work'' ( a non-problem 99% of the time since it isn't the thumb ) but his hand looks normal.
