now there's a whole history of focusing on gast juices or at least the stomach environment for keeping given tissues alive so that they can be repaired later I know this sounds a bit gruesome but one can find in the historical medical literature instances of people say severing off a finger or even a hand uh or things of that sort and then it being placed by a surgeon of course or in some cases these were Battlefield um situations into the gut as a way to preserve that finger or hand and keep it alive essentially and then to graft it back on or to make an attempt to graft it back on so that the person could then use those fingers or that hand again and while not always successful it was clear or at least the idea started to form that tissues that were placed inside the milu of the gut stood a better chance of being grafted back on
