Had to be a really bad crash if they had to amputate his arm on the scene.

Do you think theyd let him play with a robot arm?

Can't imagine paramedics would ever do an on-site amputation under anything but the most dire circumstances, like he's going to die imminently if you don't get him to the hospital but the (already badly damaged) arm is keeping him pinned in the wreck. If you're convinced he's going to lose the arm, you tie a goddamn tourniquet and let a SURGEON make that determination.

The only time I've heard of it possibly happening around here is when a concrete smoke stack collapsed pinning a worker. The medics kept him stable until a surgeon and a team arrived on scene. Even then I can't remember if they actually amputated or if they simply kept him stable until they got heavy machinery in to move the concrete block. I'd have to ask my medical director to re-tell the story.

Field amputations are not something your average medic is trained to do.

I could see it happening with direction over the phone from a doctor. Maybe.

It's also possible that rural EMS see's it more frequently. Urban vs Rural EMS are like two different worlds.

Yeah I'm expecting a colossal lawsuit to unfold out of all this.

I'm still expecting a massive lawsuit that the city will end up settling unless those paramedics have it on video that there was no way to extract him from the crash without amputating AND that his condition wasn't stable enough to wait for a surgeon. I mean god damn, they amputated the arm of a (now former) professional athlete.
