The machines and equipments used in this sector frequently cause agricultural accidents. One of these, the hoeing machine, can cause tragic and severe injuries.

We monitored the patient and started initial therapies according to advanced trauma life support in the emergency service. However, his right leg was severely injured and had to be amputated.
