Teen Loses Leg After Crash Left Her Hanging From Power Line

Right!? I always think, "what if this had happened 50, 25, or even 10 years ago?" It's crazy to me that we now have the technology/know-how to handle things like this-- things that would have been an absolute death sentence in the past.

[@pr4208]

I could be wrong, but maybe she thought if she cried and panicked she would be done, basically panic contributing to death. Your emotional state during injuries can literally save or kill you based on blood pressure, heart rate, blood loss, etc

[@amandakucsera]

Yes, I understood that... Maybe my message was misunderstood because I didn't overexplain it.. She didn't want to cry even though she had every right to from the amount of pain, she would be giving in to it, but no, she wanted to survive instead of cry. She started the crash wanting to cry about silly things. She ended it wanting to survive, when if she chose to continue to cry and not take the pain of her mistake, she would pass away. She would give up her survival. The panic would definitely have not helped her situation. @@pr4208

If you “tell you story” emotionally, each time you tell it; it’ll break you. It’s like staying in a dark room, feeding a monster.
