He fell from the roof of his house, and fate could not have been crueler: he landed directly on a fence.

Three reinforced aluminum bars pierced his pelvic area. He was 58 years old and, against all odds, arrived in the emergency room fully conscious and with normal vital signs, although his left leg was paralyzed 😨

The surgeons managed to remove the three bars without complications, but the man lost nearly 4 liters of blood and needed 12 transfused units to survive. A case that even the doctors themselves described as extraordinary 🙏
