A man who had been sliced in half by a forklift begged the doctor to spare him even if he was only a head.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A man who was split in two by a forklift pleaded with his family to keep him alive even if he was only a “head on a plate.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Loren Schauers, 20, was working in a forklift on a bridge in September 2019 when he fell 50 feet, cutting his arm and crushing his lower torso.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His family was faced with the heartbreaking dilemma of asking doctors to save him by chopping him in half and risking Loren wishing they hadn’t.<\/p>\n\n\n

When the construction worker was eventually able to talk for himself, he stared doctors “dead in the eye” and requested the life-saving surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Loren, from Great Falls, Montana, has been surviving without his legs and right forearm for the past two years, thanks to the support of his loyal wife Sabia Reiche, 23.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pair has revealed portions of their lives on YouTube, where they have amassed a tremendous following of around 500,000 members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sabia revealed how physicians advised her boyfriend’s family that the only option to rescue him was to amputate everything below his belly button in a technique known as a hemicorporectomy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“As a result, we worried that he wouldn’t want the surgery or would rather die than lose half of his body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“However, his sister pushed hard to allow him to make that decision.””<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The operation resulted in the removal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
