Teen cuts off own hand: Chinese online gaming addict severs hand to ‘cure’ addiction

A teenager in China decided he had had enough and could no longer bear his addiction to Internet gaming and so severed one of his hands with a kitchen knife. br br Did he visit a shrink, take meds, throw away his computer or take up yoga? Nope. He cut off his hand.br br The unnamed 19-year-old from Jiangsu Province simply could not control his love of Internet gaming, so he decided to ‘cure’ himself by removing the appendage. br br The teen left a note in his bedroom telling his parents not to worry and that he’d "be at the hospital for a while."br br He then snuck out of the house, saw through his wrist and, presumably with his other hand, hailed a taxi and went to the emergency room.br br Doctors were able to reattach the hand, but say he may not ever regain full mobility.br br ----------------------------------------­---------------------br br Welcome to TomoNews, where we animate the most entertaining news on the internets.
