THE MECHANIC WHO LOST THREE LIMBS WAS GIVEN A BIONIC ARM
As he was working in a mechanics workshop, he started to feel sick. Firstly he thought he had the flu, but he was immediately taken to Birmingham’s Queen Elizabeth Hospital, where he had both legs and his right hand amputated.
Doctors diagnosed him sepsis (or blood poisoning) and he was put in an induced coma.
Thanks to his workmates, who collected £27,000 in almost one week, he was given a bionic arm, which has individual motors in each finger allowing a grip movement and with microprocessors which control the position of each finger. It is going to let him have his independence back.
On the one hand, it is evident this technological advance has a lot of astonishing things to offer, and one of them is the capacity to regain the movement or even more, the entire limb. And this is such a great step. The truth is that this progress has two faces: the misuse of technology or the unethical one, and the good one, which looks forward to the future.
And on the other hand, the implicit message I can read in this article are the kind-hearted workmates and family that Mark Camamile has. They struggled to retrieve what their friend lost and not just physically.They didn’t give up and they kept on doing everything they could to get the money to pay for the bionic arm.
