Little_prince Supersonic January 28, 2014 Share January 28, 2014 WELLINGTON (AFP) - A New Zealand doctor fought off an attacking shark with a knife before heading ashore to stitch his own wounds and on to the nearest pub for a beer, reports said on Tuesday. James Grant was spearfishing near Colac Bay on the southern coast of New Zealand on Saturday when he felt the shark wrap its jaws around his leg. "(I thought) bugger, now I have to try and get this thing off my leg," he told Radio New Zealand. Mr Grant, 24, said he didn't get a good look at the shark but the nature of several wounds suggested it was a sevengill shark and about 20 centimetres (7.8 inches) across at the jaw. Full-grown sevengills can measure up to 3.0 metres (10 feet) in length. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icedbs Turbocharged January 28, 2014 Share January 28, 2014 It would have been epic if after the beer, he went back into the sea to look for the shark and stabbed it a few more times, then chop off the head and bring it back to shore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simple stitches any doctor can perform on themselves since it's on his own leg. Edited January 29, 2014 by Lala81 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assumming he is a doctor, he must have such medical suture sets stashed at home so he can use them should he get bitten by sharks. I like how the article mentioned him being a doctor to cover this loophole, machiam like a movie plot!

Quote Aron Lee Ralston (born October 27, 1975) is an American outdoorsman, engineer and motivational speaker. He survived a canyoneering accident in south-eastern Utah in 2003, during which he amputated his own right forearm with a dull multi-tool in order to extricate himself from a dislodged boulder, underneath which he had been trapped for five days and seven hours. After he freed himself, he had to rappel down a 65 foot (20 m) sheer cliff face to reach safety. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
