Game Suggestion: Amputation. (Developers or Mod)

I was thinking, how great would it be to be able to amputate your hand, arm, or legs in order to prevent dying from a bite? Pretty great in my opinion. Only one hand/arm and only one leg could be amputated, varying whichever side the bite is on. Maybe a prosthetic leg item could be added in? Slower movement speed and carrying weight decrease?



I went even more in depth with the idea. You have to actually sanitize the surface you plan to amputate on, such as a counter( The floor would prove high chances of infecting the wound), and either sew, or cauterize the wound shut afterwards. It would need constant cleaning for multiple days, and losing a leg would make you need to use crutches for a few days before the wound allows you to attach a prosthetic.



After being bitten lets say you have about an hour or two in game to remove the limb before infection sets in, making it a very rash decision to make. You may prevent infection to the virus, but will you be able to continue on with the multiple other infections and health risks this would bring?



Just a thought for a great idea. It is a very realistic survival game, and this is a very realistic scenario as to what people might do if such a situation was real. Let me know what you think, or add any suggestions you may have to make the idea better!
