here's my story; my dad owns a little shop that rebuilds golf carts, repairs them, puts lift kits on them to make them a little more rugged, etc. se i've had a lifted golf cart (the kind with quad tires and shit) for as long as i can remember. so one day me and my buddy were riding it, and when we were done i hung the key up, and went to take a shit. so when i go outside, i see him riding it like the maniac that he is, and i knew that somebody was gonna get hurt, so he stopped and i jumped on the back to tell him to park it cause nobody was home. so just as i do that, he guns it and starts swerving to throw me off. so he finally cranks the wheel as much as it will go and he hits a hole in the ground and the cart rolls. so it throws me directly into the ground, snapping both my ulna and radius of my left arm. the cart proceeds to roll over top of me, impailing my bone through the skin and into the ground pushing mud 3 inches deep into my bone marrow. so i watch as the cart rolls down the hill straight towards my moms brand new mini van, but luckily got stopped by our basketball hoop. so i get up and start walking towards the house when i notice my arm felt kind of strange. i look down and see this black thing sticking out of my arm, which ended up being my bone. i start wigging out and screaming at my friend to call 911 and all that shit. the medics got there, and luckily the head medic came right before they sent me to the shitty local hospital. he looked at my arm and said 'call for a lifeflight, this kid needs to go into surgery imediately'. so i get lifeflighted to the nearest childrens hospital and go directly into emergency surgery. i needed to get 2 pins, both running the whole length of my arm through the ulna and radius. after 2 more surgeries and a couple different casts, my arm was fully healed JUST in time for ski season. but the sraciest part was that the doctor told me if they would have taken me to the other hospital my arm would have needed to be amputated because gangreen would have set in by the time they transferred me to a hospital with the right equipment for my surgery. and if they would have watied another 2 hours after gangreen set in, the infection would have spread across my body and i could have died within days.
that had to have been the worst pain i have ever felt. the night of the day it happened, i was sitting in the hospital in a temporary cast (the bones weren't set, just cleaned off and put back into my arm) and it hurt soooooooooo bad. i just felt like screaming at the top of my lungs every singe like i moved AT ALL.
