As of yet, the Alien wasn't interested in removing the appendage. There was too much information to be gathered by examining the living tissue while still attached to the human.
The Alien might also have been trying to see whether there was a correllation between the examination and the human's squirming.
John had a theory. His theory was he was pretty sure he could jam that scalpel completely into the skull of Mr. Pokes-A-Lot. And that think that looked like a saw. And... the... whirry thing with spikes?
One of those jerky movements was to reach out and grab a scalpel. Another of those jerky movements was to bring it down on the head of Deadus Alienus with a two-fisted overhead smash. A third jerky movement was to pull the needle out of his leg and aim it for the alien's arm, to see firsthand what it felt like.
Those were not the jerky movements the Alien had been expecting. It let out a horrific scream as the scalpel cut into its head, and swiped at the human, needle sticking out of its arm.
John took the blow on his forearm, and pulled the alien towards the medical table for a 1-2 punch with the spare fist he kept in his beard. John got his legs free, picked up the bone saw, and did a bodydrop on the thing's head with all his naked weight.

Which is what John realized he was wearing.
He rigged up a loincloth and grabbed anything else that was handy as a weapon and peered out the door.
