Was the new finger a 'natural' miracle?
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/7379745.stm Simon Kay, professor of hand surgery at the University of Leeds said he suspected that Mr Spievak had sustained a "very common-or-garden, mundane fingertip injury" which had not affected the bone or led to the loss of the nail.
He said that the tip of the finger had amazing natural healing powers, which may not be universally recognised.
"It appears to regenerate because new skin grows over the end of the finger - that's a normal recovery."
If there is any tissue remaining on top of the bone, the person will even retain a "tip".
"It's quite a remarkable process.
"It can be utterly surprising how well it repairs after what appears to be a ghastly injury but it's what you might expect from the most peripheral part of the body."
