Nurse Hikes Out With Pole Impaled In Side | Washington DC News

A nurse hiking Granite Peak in Montana got impaled by a trekking pole—eight inches sticking out each side—and instead of waiting for rescue, he calmly assessed his injury, hiked ten miles back to safety with the pole still in him, even warning other hikers along the way. He survived thanks to quick thinking and medical instincts, and now faces possible surgery—but his grit has earned him massive online admiration.
