[QUOTE="HFS, post: 3714561, member: 8862"] Two city workers in Lewiston, Maine were working on the sidewalk when a man came along carrying his severed arm. The dude who had really bad luck (with a band saw while working in a nearby building) was extremely fortunate to run into a couple of guys that knew how to use a tourniquet. The man is expected to survive, no word on whether his arm could be reattached. "...Witnesses said that shortly after 9 a.m., a man was seen stumbling along Maple Street carrying his severed arm, which had been cut off near the shoulder. Public works crews who were in the area stopped to help and called police and rescue crews. Workers quickly applied a tourniquet while waiting for medics to arrive, according to Lewiston police Lt. Derek St. Laurent. 'That probably saved his life,' St. Laurent said. The victim, described as a young man, was taken to Central Maine Medical Center where he remained later Friday.... ...Police were able to follow a blood trail back to the business after the victim was found, St. Laurent said... [The public works director says both employees are trained in the use of tourniquets.] 'It had to be divine intervention,' she said, 'because two of my best guys just happened to be there sanding sidewalks. It couldn’t have been better guys for this kind of situation.'"
