Rapid sequence induction (intubation)  (give him some drugs to chemically paralyze and sedate and or wipe-out his short term memory) so you can do bad things to him without him fighting or remembering what happened.......its great...that is if your the paramedic doing it

There have been reattachments of severed limbs, and the aforementioned John Bobbit went on do some pornos after having his wiener put back after hours of laying in a grassy field.

If a limb is so mangled that it has to be removed on-scene, then there's zero chance that it could be reattached and function. You can basically only reimplant a finger (or limb) with a very clean cut and no associated tissue damage (so yes with circular saws on occasion, no with a crush injury). Moreover, the patient has to be in good shape otherwise (e.g. no other serious trauma, like a roll-over MVA).

How in the hell does a stringed instrument cut off the tip do your thumb?

Maybe he was shredding some Dragon Force or Yngwie Malmsteen type shit.....I’ve seen it happen.

Never heard of that before.

It's pretty rare. I've worked a lot of extrications at vehicle rescue alarms, & we only came close to amputating once, on a guy who was circling the drain & whose foot was pinned.

Could have had a crush injury that had they left the arm on when they removed whatever was crushing it could have killed him quick

Compartment syndrome and crush injury toxicity isn’t a concern until 60>mins into entrapment. The arm itself isn’t large enough to warrant those concerns anyways IMO. I’m guessing freeing his arm was going to take substantial time they felt they didn’t have given the multitude of injuries he probably suffered, and the decision to amputate was made not due to crush injury but due to possible/suspected internal injuries and subsequent massive hemorrhage and/or hemodynamic instability.

Yeah, this. I've never heard of on-scene amputation unless some part of the patient was pinned and their life was in danger if they weren't transported to a hospital very soon. Golden Hour & all that.

My HS Latin teacher was in a school bus accident on a field trip where the bus went off the road and slammed into a concrete culvert.  First row, right side -- most of the engine block ended up on her legs.  The paramedics amputated both legs on site, but she didn't survive the ambulance ride to the hospital.

Well, she was really old.

EDIT:

Shit, I just looked up the story -- she was only 59.  Damn.  She SEEMED really old.  

To further the amputated limb aspect of the story, the bus driver's arm was ripped off at the shoulder in the accident.  She survived.
