A spearfisherman who was attacked by a shark over the weekend in Florida was saved by a group of medical professionals who just happened to be in a boat nearby.
Cellphone video taken by an employee of Hot Shot Charters shows a man in a wetsuit being helped onto the boat by two fisherman from another boat.
...that the boat he was climbing into was full of nurses ready to assist him during his emergency, including Christine Haines and Glaiza Martin, a pediatric nurse and an operating nurse...
The bite was so severe that the man's arm was "mangled" and he was "just blood from arm to foot,"

Sounds like the basis of a Benny Hill skit. Cue “yakity sax” music.

This sounds like the beginning of a really cheesy movie.
Did they end up marooned on a South Pacific Island three days later?

I think the wetsuit he was wearing made him look like shark food.
And I wonder if he was spear fishing.

All nurses are pleasant appearing when you are injured.
The helicopter set me down on the deck of the USS Sanctuary. I had a hole in my head under my left eye.
The Nurse was about 85 years old, she had grey hair, she was a most beautiful ANGEL!!!
She held my hand and said nice things to me.
Then she said count backward from ten.
SEVEN and she was gone...
I remember.

Hmmmm.....
First a story about a woman beat up by an octopus, and now a story about a guy chewed on by a shark.
Hmmmmm.....
Apparently...there are things in the ocean that can hurt you.

I'm not afraid of much, but being on/in Open Water is my least favorite thing in the world. I am crunchy and look tasty to sea creatures!
