Work

I don't want to put too much medical stuff on the blog, but this case was exceptional as a photo opportunity!
I was on-call last night. This poor guy works in a saw-mill. He was by himself when this stick was driven through his arm. It was so long he had to saw it off with his left arm then get help. Luckily it was a 'low velocity injury' so the wood bounced off the bone without breaking it and also pushed it's way between muscles, nerves and arteries without tearing them. He will make a full recovery. Lucky guy.
