Drunk Florida man has arm eaten by alligator

A Florida man whose right arm was bitten off by a 10-foot alligator brushed off losing a limb in the attack, because as he puts it, "It's not the end of the world." Jordan Rivera, 23, fell into a pond behind Banditos Bar in Port Charlotte on Sunday shortly before 2 a.m., according to NBC affiliate WBBH in Fort Myers. “I didn't lose my life, I lost an arm, it's not the end of the world,” Rivera told the news outlet during an interview from his hospital bed at the Gulf Coast Medical Center.

A spokesperson for Charlotte County Fire & EMS said personnel responded to an alligator attack about 1:40 a.m.“The responding crew treated a male patient who had an above the elbow amputation of his upper right extremity. Bystanders applied a tourniquet to the patient before we arrived. The patient was airlifted to Gulf Coast Medical Center in Ft.Myers.”

Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission trappers found and removed the gator that attacked Rivera, WBBH reported. It measured nearly 10 ½ feet and was euthanized, according to the commission.

Airlifted. Doesn't that cost a patient close to million in the US? I'm not sure which is worse, the hospital bills he's going to face or the lost arm. Hopefully he wasn't a righty.

Yes. The fucking air ambulance companies were fucking scumbag thieves until a few news stories caught them in the act.

I live there and can say with certainty that when your paramedic is smoking a cigarette you are in good hands.

And he probably has a few cold ones in the cooler so don't hesitate to ask for one.

So it wouldn't do it again.

Most of them probably don't kill people.

If you kill the killers, you make it safer for people.

Any gator would have done the same. They are just doing what they are naturally inclined to do. And it does not make anything safer for anyone. There are thousands upon thousands of gators there.
