Like Dying From A Paper Cut
-
This young woman went on a tubing outing and tried the zip line while she was at it. And she hurt herself, getting a gash in her leg. This simple and common injury led to a fight for her life, because that gash allowed flesh-eating bacteria to infect her. She's already had her leg amputated and she's not in great shape -- doctors expected her to be dead already, but she's been fighting back. This infection is rare enough, but to become life-threatening requires a series of circumstances that make the odds of fatality very long. She hit the bad-luck lottery this time.
