Saw this and wanted to share it, pretty amazing story.

Edit: there is some Operating room scenes so if you are squeamish might want to skip this one.

Holy Crap that's awesome. Not exactly luck, but the only thing to say is 'What luck!' .

holy ****, not sure what to think if i were in either situation. but wow, amazing

That is just incredible!

These stories are exactly why I love my job. Whether I'm doing air assaults, troop transports, medivac, or just delivering mail to some secluded FOB in the middle of nowhere, I know that the soldiers I'm bringing my services to are so appreciative of them. To know that I could save so many lives and do such amazing things makes my job so much better.
