He also added that he rushed to the University of Utah’s burn trauma center, where he was described by the surgeon at the time as a “bag of bones with a heartbeat.” The surgeons took 48 days to perform 18 total surgeries on him. The doctors shared with him that his left arm which he held with the knife was heavily electrocuted and had become very infected, therefore, needs to be cut off to prevent any further bodily damage.
