ABC journalist Emma Alberici in horrific accident
ABC journalist Emma Alberici is lucky to still have her fingers after suffering a horrific kitchen accident.
The economics correspondent took to Twitter on Monday to reveal that she had surgery on the weekend after cutting her fingers in a blender.
“Advice: Don’t put fingers in stick blender blade to wash it while it’s still plugged in to the power,” Alberici wrote.
“Fingers survived thanks to the incredible work of surgeon & team at Prince of Wales Hospital.
“Forever grateful we live in a country so blessed with world class medical treatment.”

Have you ever seriously hurt yourself in the kitchen? What happened?
I was washing mine the other day and almost did the same thing -- but my brain kicked in -- boy that would be a horrid thing to happen.
Hope she has not damaged nerves and I wish her well.
