A man who was cut in half by a forklift has shared a horrifying photo of the moment it fell on him.
\nLoren Schauers, from Montana, U.S.A., was 19 years old when he plummeted off the side of a bridge driving a forklift truck in 2019.<\/p>\n
In the accident, the industrial truck crushed the lower of his body and one of his arms<\/p>\n
Loren\u2019s life was saved through a rare and complex procedure known as hemicorporectomy, a surgery in which a person\u2019s lower half is amputated.<\/p>\n
The National Library of Medicine elaborates: \u201cIn hemicorporectomy, or trans lumbar amputation, the bony pelvis, pelvic contents, lower extremities, and external g**italia are removed following disarticulation of the lumbar spine and transection of the spinal cord.\u201d
\nLoren\u2019s arm which was squashed in the accident was also partially amputated.<\/p>\n
Following the life-changing ordeal, he and his wife Sabia set up a YouTube channel where they often hold Q&As.<\/p>\n
In one video, Loren revealed how he goes to the bathroom following his hemicorporectomy.
\nHe explained that he had a colostomy, which is a surgery to create an opening in the large intestines.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
