Episode: Handle With Care
City: Savannah, Ga.
Hospital: Memorial Health University Hospital
Doctor Profile: Dr. Russell Davis

A man and woman were delivering newspapers when their cruise control malfunctioned. The woman lost control of the car and slammed it into trees and a picket fence, partially severing her arm. While the man's injuries were treatable, the woman was not as lucky — the future of her arm in doubt.
