Um man that had to hurt and the poor guy lost his leg. What I don't get is this happend Sunday and they did not operate until Monday night that time delay could have cost him his leg. My buddy does emergency operations for people in bad car wrecks and stuff like that and he only gets called in if its a bad break that requires an operation. If his pager goes off he is up and gone because time becomes very important in these situations and for him to wait 24 hours just does not make sense. I wonder if Austria did not want Candian doctors to operate on him or that they did not have any qualified Canadian doctors on staff or call.
