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

@@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.

I'm sad he lost his foot but I'm glad they were able to amputate it in a more safe and convenient area.
Just seen this on TV tonight and to say I was anxious over the result of what might happen to Aaron Hill, well lets just say I was biting my nails in the least. 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. 🚁🙏❤

Never give young men a car over 1.0L until there at least 25.
That was too long to go with a mangled leg. It was inevitable that he was losing it, unfortunately. Was too long to go with no blood reaching his foot. You could see his toes were dead so he probably lost his pulse there, in the crush. Glad he has recovered well.
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: kzread.info/dash/bejne/fZmi17yEadHQe8Y.html 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

My negligent friend drove me and two of my best buddies down a 45 at night, his recklessness got through his dense head and told him to hit over 100, we came up on a curve and he didn’t even bother to slow down we spun out and flipped upside down, it was a convertible Jaguar, and I was in the toddler sized backseat with my friend, I thought we’d be pinned or have to wait for fire dept to come get us but we got a door open and crawled out, somehow, some way, we all stood up out of that crash and in the moment of sliding I thought we were dead. In the end we kept our heads and the driver took the cowardly way and evaded talking to cops and telling the truth to his parents, he is the youngest out of all of us kids. Moral of the story is don’t let a reckless friend ever drive a fast car or any car in general and SPEAK UP when they go fast you don’t want to be upside down with a blood rush post shock with your limbs pinned I’ll tell you

My mom's front end was near the rear of her front tire with everything behind the front end moving backwards about 3 inches. She walked (hobbled) out of the car with a broken foot that needed surgery and a lacerated liver that healed on its own.

If I were in that situation, I would have probably pleaded for them to cut it off. I've been in traumatic scenarios in unfamiliar environments and every time my one and only wish was to be in the hospital. Being that vulnerable with the shock and trauma is so much more intense when you don't feel safe.
As a car enthusiast, seeing that classic Jaguar in that state left me speechless. Such a rare car with a long history and unique identity.
