Ian Reid, a firefighter from Thurso, Scotland, who had the lower portion of his right arm amputated after a bus accident, has become the first user of the i-LIMB Pulse prosthetic hand
Firefighter First To Get i-LIMB Pulse Prosthetic Hand
FIREFIGHTER FIRST TO GET i-LIMB PULSE PROSTHETIC HAND
Ian Reid was on a summer holiday in Gran Canaria in 2004, when he was involved in a tragic bus accident that claimed the life of his wife and left him with horrific injuries to his right arm.
After a brake failure, the bus rolled onto its side and slid down a steep road, with Ian's arm horrifically trapped.
The firefighter from the Scottish Highlands spent a week in hospital in Gran Canaria, an experience which he recalls as being the worst of his life.
"I couldn't speak the language and was in a lot of pain and discomfort the whole time," he says.
After a week, his insurance company flew him back to Scotland, where he spent several months in intensive care in Aberdeen.
"It was good to be back home, so my family could be with me," recalls the father of three. "My mum and dad came down from Thurso and stayed by my side the whole time, while friends and family pulled together to make sure the kids were looked after."
Ian's injuries were severe, but he still had some remnant bone and tissue from his hand, and the first goal of surgeons was to try and save whatever function they might be able to from his remaining limb.
"It was a terrible-looking injury, like something out of a horror movie," says Ian. "The surgeons tried to retain a basic open and close pinch between my finger and thumb, but it didn't work out in the end."
"Some of the doctors still wanted me to keep what I had left, because they felt that a prosthetic device wouldn't be able to give me back anything more, but I had really come to hate m...
