Medical oddity file this under Stranger Than Fiction. Chinese surgeons parked a severed human ear on a patient’s foot to keep it alive while her shattered scalp healed. Ten hour graft, veins hand stitched, daily bloodletting to beat the black tide. Months later the ear went home. Body parts on sabbatical.

Bodies are becoming modular under crisis conditions. When damage outpaces healing, medicine improvises.
