Overview
- The 82-year-old noticed the arm wound had reopened and was bleeding during reality-show filming in Donaueschingen, where an on-set doctor called an ambulance.
- He was transported to a clinic in Waldshut-Tiengen and taken straight into surgery under general anesthesia.
- Surgeons removed a large amount of pus and foreign debris that were reported to stem from his earlier accident in Phuket, Thailand.
- Treating doctors warned that waiting longer could have led to bone infection, sepsis or even amputation.
- He is now receiving strong antibiotics and wearing an arm brace following the operation.
