An American man is recovering in the intensive-care unit of a Spanish hospital after a bull gave him the 'biggest goring wound' the doctor who performed emergency surgery on him had ever seen.

Benjamin Miller of Georgia underwent a three-hour operation to repair damage to his thighs, sphincter and back muscles after being tossed and gored by a bull.

Miller had one wound that measured 40 centimeters. The bull gored him through the thigh of the left leg. His sphincter was also quite damaged and suffered numerous hemorrhages .

He reportedly came to Carnaval del Toro with a group of American students.

Surgeon Enrique Crespo was called to operate on Miller after he was injured on the first day of the annual festival.

Crespo said: 'It's not the worst injury I've seen, but it's the biggest goring wound I've ever had to operate on.'

Is this the one where the leg looks like a pizza?

Edit:

Ah, it isn't. Is it against the rules to post pizzaleg guy?
 
And participating in the Running of the Bulls can straight-up get you killed, too. I wonder if this represents other Spanish festivals or just what news outlets want us to assume.

I'm not sure what part of fucking with a bull is supposed to be considered festive.

I wouldn't wish this on my worse enemy.... I mean it ruptured what I assumed is his anal sphincter with its horn.

Yeah, I'm never running in one of these things. They must be fun if you don't get hurt, but the risk is too high and it's not nice to the bulls.

It's not as dumb as the guy that lights his pants on fire and jumps off buildings, but I can't feel bad for him.

Too bad he didn't die, this will just lead to nothing getting done at all against these barbarous games.

Almost like local gave them a false tip, "run to bull, not away"
