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,"

Step 1. Find out when a boatload of Hot Nurses will be coming by.

Step 2. Find a shark.

Step 3. Strip down and allow Hot Nurses to do the duty.

I was thinking the Castle Anthrax from Monty Python.
My mind was in the wrong place.

“I think the wetsuit he was wearing made him look like shark food.”

And the seal flippers didn’t help.

Let’s see....dressed to look like a sea lion, swimming in the open ocean, spearing fish putting blood in the water and the sound of an injured fish, and didn’t expect a problem. Also, how bad could the injury be when the article said he crawled aboard the boat? Real head electricity problem here.

Thank God for Medics/corpsman and the rest of the med chain.

Truly!

I’m doing just fine and my one complaint has mostly passed with the high tech hearing aids of the last twenty years.
Every couple of years noticeably better equipment.

My wife is/was an RN for most of her adult life.

She and her group of RN friends nick name themselves as the real RN, aka the 3 years of training/working in hospitals, clinics and busy medical offices before taking the tests to be an RN versus 5 years of “classes/books”.

She was pioneer coronary care nurse, loved pediatrics/ob and spent 35 years of family practice office nursing.

In that practice, she and her boss did CPR on a patient who collapsed in a parking lot and saved his life. That was done about once a year in their office.

When our oldest son gave up football for wrestling, she was excited because the injuries one could get in football.

I didn’t say anything until she attended a wrestling match.

It was a typical wrestling match with facial cuts, slammed teeth and even a broken arm. She was stunned.

She took her baseball game purse to the next match. That purse had regular bandages, butter fly bandages, the wrap bandages that were self adhering and an arm sling.

The blood and gore was still there, this time, she was prepared.

Thank you lord, for the good Nurses in our lives.

Yes, most assuredly!

I was kind of having a bad day and she helped me get through it.
