On average, there are about 300,000 finger injuries every year. Typically, these injuries are caused by opening or closing doors. In most scenarios, the injured party is a small child. Kids love to run around and explore. However, sometimes accidents can occur. This was the case for five-year old Kristen Hearn who experienced this traumatic event at her elementary school. Kristen had been recently acting as door holder for her class. Excited, Kristen was holding the door when her middle finger got caught in between the door. The tip of her finger was severed. Her teacher and school nurse were able to help by ensuring she remained calm while they contacted professional medical officials. Fortunately for Kristen, doctors were able to reattach the finger.
There are plenty of stories similar to this one with worse endings.
