"Hand of Hope"

Yeah, vapor its pretty pathetic. Ive seen LOTS of stuff that would make you never want to see the outside light even.

An example; my uncles friend was changing the shingles on my grandmas roof. He was acting stupid, and it was lightly raining, enough to reshingle. He slipped and fell. His leg bent backwards, towards his chest. It snapped almost completely off. I was about 8 at the time. It scares the hell out of me now when I am in extremely high heights.

theomen: My mother had a friend who was an EMT. Boy, when she came over for a teaparty- I could hear the growls of disgust from my bedroom

Vapor, I wouldn\'t go around calling people pussies.  If you worked with me as an EMT you would  have coughed up your lunch plenty of times.  The first time you saw an evisceration, you\'d blow chunks.  Even an open fracture is nasty, especially those that were suffered from a crushing mechanism as they tend to be a bit more gory.

While I still treated these injuries, and managed to keep my head, I can admit that they are nasty as hell.

I don\'t know how you guys do it. I\'m just glad you do.

My dad was an EMT for about 4 years when I was really young. He would never tell me any stories untill I got much older, but when I finally heard em, I understood why.

The worst I saw when working with my local First Responder was a hit and run on a kid on on a bike.   His leg was turned into ground meat, and the bone was stickingout, with torn muscle hanging from it.  And his friend had his head pretty messed up, his orbital bone was fractured and had his eye pretty much hanging out.

i can take stuff like that. my friend tried to make me barf by showing me some gross picture on a certain website and i was like "gross" but not anywhere near the point of throwing up or anything close to it.

The things i cant handle is a body part bending in the wrong direction. Once RealTV has a skateboard/rollerblading/etc. clip I change the channel because i cant handle that kind of sh*t. I saw Willis Mcgehee(sp?) break his leg and i fricken fell to the floor in disgust, same thing happened with Garrison Hearst\'s compund fracture.

On that note i think the picture/story is awesome. amazing stuff happening nowadays with our kind of technology.

It\'s not disgusting until you see it for real.

Picture sucks. That\'s all I have to say.

Viper, if that site has adult material, you may want to edit your post.
