Young Man Risks Amputation After Crashing His Classic Jaguar | Helicopter ER

I am a fire fighter in Germany, we had a massive truck crash some weeks ago where the driver of one massively damaged truck had to had his right lower leg amputated because otherwise he wouldn't have got out alive. As the patient was freed we were able to free the amputated leg and it was sent to the Hospital by helicopter where doctors were able to somehow put the leg back on. As far as I know the patient is on a good way to keep it's leg and be alive... Honestly, this was one of the most intense experiences in my carrier as volunteer firefighter. And watching this brings back a lot of stuff to my mind :o

[@chrisbrookens5994]

Don’t think I’ve ever heard of surgically re-attaching a leg. That is crazy.

[@carnatic83]

I haven't heard about something like that too, but as far as I know they tested some new method on him in the university hospital. And it seems to be possible. Wouldn't belive it too to be honest, but that's the information I got from hospital

[@AlsandoGames]

@@ljviks22 dude I don't think we should blame anyone here. This is a tricky situation. Doesn't matter how many med classes you take, nothing will prepare you for unforseeable situations like these. They probably didn't mention them in detail, but I am sure there were risks involved with letting the patient be jammed in there for so long. For example the doc cannot see the extent of the wound so he has to fear that the patient is slowly bleeding out. It is a though decision but at some point you have to make one! Like... how long would you have waited? 5h until the firefighters slowly cut away every single part that is holding the patient in that spot? Firefighters will get him out eventually, but it is not a matter of "letting the firefighters try everything they can" but a matter of time. This is something that is hard to judge and asking for other opinions was exactly the right call to make. So imo we should praise him for that and not judge him for a decision he might have made if alone.

Hate to break it to you but ketamine is not a pain relieving drug. It's anamnestic, you likely wont remember the pain, but in the moment they most definitely feel it.

The doctors, ambulance paramedics and fire crews were absolutely amazing and kept Aaron calm all the way through the extraction. I think they performed a miracle that day in keeping him alive. It is testament to all of them that Aaron is here today and able to go back to work again. It's a pity the surgeons couldn't save his foot after all that took place to save it, but Aaron took the decision to remove it in the end and I totally understand where he was coming from due to the injury involved. He is a brave young man. I think this must be the most nerve-wracking episode of Helicopter ER I have watched so far. Congratulations to the programme makers for such a great series. 🚁🙏❤

For anyone wondering this is the last of the steel bodied Jaguar XJs, the XJ X308, produced from 1997-2003. The 2003 onward Jaguar XJ's are completely re-designed with an aluminium monocoque and steel subframes. You can see a crash test of this Jaguar (X308) here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZbRpo2BbtOdgcU although it should be mentioned that this is a demonstration of vehicle 'under riding' and it's actually the bus being audited for its frame rails sitting too high/far forward/too soft metal. Really any vehicle manufactured before Euro NCAP compliance (~ turn of century) is a death trap
