This is the story of a man in a hurry, a glass door, lots of blood (seriously, lots of blood, you’ve been warned, pics are below), and a wife who knows how to use a tourniquet in an emergency situation.
A lad has shared his story on the web about how his wife saved his life after a freakish accident.
It goes like this:
“I was running out the door for work, I was too lazy to reach for the door handle and pushed our storm door on the upper glass portion. The door was caught on the latch (which it never does) and my arm went right through. I cut my bicep and brachialis muscles completely in half and basically every blood vessel besides the brachial artery.
My wife tied a tourniquet around my arm and death gripped my arm to attempt to stop the bleeding while calling 911. My wife said she could see the bone when the paramedics were inspecting it.”
Are you ready for the blood?
