But things got worse. It turns out the shovel was actually impaled in the perineum, the patch of skin between the rectal area and the scrotum.
That created even bigger problems, according to Klauer.
"He could bleed to death with seconds or minutes if there are injuries to the liver, kidneys or other organs that use a lot of blood vessels," Klauer said, who ordered a CAT Scan.
After a few tense moments, the shovel was removed and the patient eventually recovered.
