I'm not absolutely positive about California, but most states do it like this. I've been researching that answer myself cause I have the same problem. After your injury is healed the doctor will give you a disability percentage for that finger. There is usually a set amount of weeks that finger is worth. Your payout will be 2/3 your weekly pay at the set amount of weeks. Your thumb being worth the most. I don't know how many weeks your ring finger is. I know the middle finger is 30 weeks and I'm wanting to say 20 for that finger. So basically it could depend on how much you make. Or if you feel like it you can sue a third party and get a lot more if the accident wasn't your fault or was the fault of a machine. While you can't sue your employer (because of workman's comp) you can sue, possibly, the company that made the machine. Keep in mind workman's comp pays for scarring also. You probably need to talk to a lawyer after you get your disability rating, they may be able to get you more money. (but they will take 20%).

After leg amputation surgery when does it feel like you don't have a leg?
Generally after any limb has been amputated or otherwise removed, a neurological/psychological phenomenon known as Phantom Limb Syndrome can occur, lasting anywhere from a few days to a few years. Phantom Limb Syndrome causes the person to feel as if their missing limb is tingling, in pain, or otherwise existent. If the feeling described in the question is the feeling (if any) that occurs after PLS has subsided, than it will present itself after PLS is gone.
Depends on a lot of things; why their legs were amputated, if they are paralyzed in that area, how many legs amputated, their physical strength, and it they can afford a cane, walker, and/or prosthetic leg(s). Some prosthetic legs are very advanced and others are simpler, and it can take a lot of time to learn how to walk after a leg amputation.
Who do you go to first by accident amputation unconscious or severe bleeding?
Depends,
1. A crushing and shearing amputation, such as the police officer in Vietnam who lost his entire lower half... above the pelivs (search video = vietnam police cut in half) was subject to crushing and shearing, a heavy truck tire was the top of the scissor, the gutter was the bottom. He lived and bled very little. He was in shock and somewhat unconscious at first, he never did bleed out very much.
2. A ripping amputation, such as a leg being ripped off may produce profuse bleeding and somewhat little pain.. at first. The individual may never become unconscious until too much blood is lost or is rendered unconscious by medical professionals.
3. A minor amputation may cause neither profuse bleeding or unconsciousness, such as in the case of a partial digital amputation, pinkie or small toe.
Pain does not necessarily cause unconsciousness, I have first hand experience with a minor amputation and it did not bleed much because I controlled it with a tourniquette until I got to the hospital. Once at the hospital the doctor administered a local anesthetic which immediately stopped the pain, and the doctor cleaned the wound vigorously and stitched the end of the stump shut. I was lucky to have enough flesh to cover over the end of the stump so no additional measures were needed to repair the wound.
The real pain started after the local wore off, but not enough to make me go unconscious. Strangely, the worst pain was AFTER the local wore off rather than immediately after the amputation. The amputation itself was quite painful after I realized what happened, but not enough to cause me to react like you might see in a movie when somebody has a finger cut off. No screaming, no passing out, no flinging my stump around spreading blood everywhere. During the next 12 days or so the pain was quite considerable at times, a throbbing burning pain that would last for 30 minutes or so at a time before subsiding.
Hope that helps!

What was amputation in the 17th centry?
In the 17th century, amputation was a common surgical procedure often performed to save patients from fatal infections, gangrene, or severe injuries, particularly in wartime. Due to the lack of anesthesia, the process was excruciatingly painful and typically conducted quickly with basic tools like saws and knives. Surgeons, who were often barbers or non-specialists, relied on rudimentary techniques and limited knowledge of anatomy, leading to high rates of infection and mortality. Despite its risks, amputation was sometimes seen as a necessary intervention to preserve life.
How do you measure the bmi of a bilateral amputee?
To measure the BMI of a bilateral amputee, you can calculate it using their remaining body mass and height. First, determine the person's weight, ideally using a scale that accommodates their current body composition, then measure their height if possible. If height cannot be accurately measured, alternative methods like estimating height based on limb length or using normative data for amputees can be employed. Finally, use the BMI formula: weight (kg) divided by height (m²) to get the result.
What is the cpt code for excision of neuromas of amputation scar lower extremity?
The CPT code for the excision of neuromas from an amputation scar in the lower extremity is 28899, which is an unlisted procedure for the foot or toes. When reporting this procedure, it is essential to provide a detailed description of the procedure performed, as well as any relevant documentation to support the use of an unlisted code. Always verify with the latest CPT coding guidelines or a certified coding professional for accuracy.
Except possibly in war scenarios, the operation is performed under General Anethesia ( not a Mash character, if you excuse the pun) the amputee is unconscious during the amputation. -there is a largely psychological problem of Phantom pain, where one might feel pain or nervous tension on the side of the body where the now-gone leg was. this is acknowledged, and over time will ( burn itself out) - there are evidentally microscopic nerve endings that are still picking up sensations- but alas will die out when the thing cures.
Who is the sharif and why doesnt he like it when you rock the casbah?
The "sharif" in the song "Rock the Casbah" by The Clash refers to a traditional Arab leader or noble, who disapproves of Western influences and rock music. The song narrates a story of rebellion against this authority figure, as the protagonist seeks to express freedom and individuality through rock and roll. The sharif's disdain for "rocking the casbah" symbolizes resistance to cultural change and the clash between tradition and modernity.
