Answer

How should a severed finger be handled before emergency services arrive in Mallorca?

The severed part should be kept clean and cool, ideally placed in a sealed bag and then put on ice without direct contact with the ice. That helps preserve tissue until doctors can treat the injury. Emergency services should be contacted immediately, because severe hand injuries need urgent hospital care.
