Usually if I was in an emergency room and someone came in after me, only for their emergency to be deemed more urgent than mine, I'd kick up a fuss.
That wouldn't be the case, however, if someone came in with a fucking shark attached to their arm.
Unfortunately for this 23-year-old woman, exactly that happened to her and she had to be taken to a hospital Boca Raton, in Florida.

She was taken to the hospital with a splint board supporting her arm, but the shark still wouldn't let go, even after it stopped breathing.

Shlomo Jacob, who was at the beach at the time, told the South Florida Sun Sentinel: "The shark wouldn't give up. It was barely breathing but it wasn't letting go of her arm, like it was stuck to her or something."
The woman is now reportedly in a stable condition in hospital, according to Boca Raton Fire and Rescue.
Nurse sharks will bite in self defense if they are messed with, which people were reportedly doing at the beach.
