That is one tough woman.

"...the University of British Columbia student waited on the road Thursday until a passerby, an off-duty paramedic, got her medical attention."

I wonder which arm she waved to flag down the paramedic?

1) only work in a cold climate, or the infection would kill you.
2) Nerves have to regrow, and they do it SLOWLY. It will be 20 years before she can feal that arm, although, if she is lucky, she will be able to use it in months.
3) That is one determined lady!

You would think she would have died of blood loss, or passed out from blood loss. She is tough.

The injured woman endured a nearly three-hour helicopter ride to Vancouver General Hospital, where specialists worked for nine hours to reattach the arm. According to Mapquest, Pemberton is 97 miles to Vancouver (a 2 hour drive). Do they have "socialized helicopters", too?

She IS tough, and smart.
She deserves her arm back for that alone.

Must have used a tourniquet, or she would have exsanguinated, I guess.

If it was severed, how come she didn't bleed to death?

Amputations cause contractions of the small muscles around the blood vessels, sort of shuts off the flow.
This gal is tough, she will do well regardless of the eventual outcome
To: unkus
I'd freak out if she rang my doorbell holding her arm.
