Does anyone else remember the story about the teenager in one of the Dakotas who lost both arms to farm machinery, managed to get back home, dial 911 with his face and then waited in the bathtub for help so he wouldn’t get his blood all over his folks’ floors?
I do not remember that story. However, I do remember the story of a logger who cut his leg with a chainsaw. He used his own belt to tie a tourniquet and drove himself to the hospital.
For every ONE story like that there are hundreds where he didn’t make it.
