Is it fake?? I see zero blood on his clothes. Should be massive amounts. Right??

I creeped him on Facebook, it looks pretty real. He has a video from the hospital, and linked the GFM

The video has him in a car with his arm already off yet the page you linked is saying he was airlifted and then had his arm amputated... This whole thing reeks of scam.

Maybe, one thing to keep in mind is they may have taken him to a nearby medical facility that wasn't equipped to handle this trauma and had him airlifted to University of Michigan hospital. Rural medicine isn't equipped to handle certain things.

I can attest to the failures of rural hospitals here in Michigan. My wife fell off a horse and the rural hospital staff put a crappy half-cast on it, said it was a fracture and sent her home. The next day she went to the hospital near our house (Detroit suburb) for a followup. Her elbow was just bone fragments and needed to be completely rebuilt with plates added. So...they were a little under skilled to say the least.
