What’s worse than taking a bull’s horn up your ass? The fact that you paid for that opportunity is a good start.
According to CBS News, a 20-year-old American college student was in intensive care over the weekend after he suffered what a local surgeon called the “worst goring injury” he had ever seen at a bullfighting festival in Spain.
Benjamin Miller decided to give it a go at Sunday’s Carnaval del Toro in Ciudad Rodrigo and suffered damage to his thighs, sphincter and back muscles in the process.
One of the injuries Miller suffered in this thighs was a 16-inch goring. The University of Mississippi student underwent three hours of surgery to repair that gash and curb the internal bleeding, but one of the operating surgeons didn’t rule out another procedure to control the hemorrhage.
Hindsight is 20/20, but when an experienced surgeon at what is considered by many to be one of the oldest bull festivals in Spain says your goring wound is the biggest he’s ever had to operate on, maybe running with the bulls is something you should refrain from doing in the future.
