Man cuts off own arm then drives himself to hospital to get it reattached

   


A man who cut off his own arm drove himself to the hospital in order to get his armreattached, according to hospital officials in Austria.

The tough construction worker from Hungary drove himself more than 10 miles to a hospital after accidentally cutting off his own arm.

Tibor A., 37, was left in agony after cutting the limb below the elbow Saturday while cleaning a processing machine in eastern Austria.

However, the construction worker did not panic as he took his cut off arm and drove to the emergency room near Eisenstadt.
He was then airlifted to AKH Hospital in Vienna, where plastic surgeons reattached his arm.

It is still unclear whether Tibor will be able to use his arm as before, but he was photographed smiling from his hospital bed Monday.
Doctors at the hospital said that the only reason he did not bleed to death was because he was in a state of shock.

“This man was lucky to survive. Any other person would have died, but his strong will to live gave him the strength to drive himself to the hospital. He is truly an amazing construction worker,” Paula Kelly, 49, of Cambridge, Massachusetts told YourJewishNews.com after learning about the construction worker who cut off his own arm.

Police are investigating why his fellow construction workers did not call an ambulance or offer any help.
