Luck always comes into survival of the fittest. Often it isn't the
fittest, but the luckiest who survive. But how many relatively minor
wounds became gangrenous and eventually killed the host because basic
first aid wasn't carried out, like washing and bandaging? On the other
hand, we have true stories of farm workers carrying their severed arms
to a doctor after being crushed by a tractor or combine, and they live
to tell the tale.

I think you'll find its a severed arm, not arms. Both arms severed, you
cant
carry 'em.
Try it and you'll see what I mean :-)

Tsk in the olden days the farm worker would have picked both up in his
teeth, while smoking 80 fags a day and walked 30 miles to the doctor only
after finishing a 18 hour day threshing corn with his severed arms.
Nowadays yer don't know yer born.
I never could understand what that was supposed to mean :-)
