My son is an operating room imaging tech at a big metropolitan hospital. He says two hand surgeons are always in the hospital on New Year’s Eve and the 4th of July. He often gets called in for emergency surgeries on those holidays. Pretty gruesome, he says ... right up there with motorcycle accidents.
I remember as a boy seeing a teen’s arm with no hand; I was told that he lost his hand due to a fireworks/pipebomb accident. I never forgot how that looked.
I still can never imaging how someone can ride a motorcycle, I’m doing 75 mph and they are passing me and weaving in and out of traffic on the highway. Motorcycles are just so dangerous; sure, sometimes it’s the other person’s fault, but we all know that accidents happen.
