On April 17, a 31-year-old Spanish gynecologist named Borja Garcia-Susa is fighting for his life after a brutal shark attack during his honeymoon in the Maldives. The newlywed lost his lower leg to amputation from severe damage right in front of his wife Anna while swimming their kudu island last Saturday. He was part of a group that went into the water close to a fishing-processing plan, a spot known for spinnisharks, though a bull shark might have, been involved. Medics airlifted him first to a local hospital, then to intensive care at ADK hospital in the capital mail, where he's getting round the clock. Treatment for rupture blood vessels and blood loss. Friends and colleagues back home, in Alicante, are reeling from the shark. As a consummate professional at his hospital and a semi-profetsal player, Borja has always been seen as diligent and polite. Once he may call the news a bolt from the blue, especially on what should have been the happiest trip of his life. Anna's family rushed to the Maldives to support her,

and she spotted a police complaint accusing the excursion organizers of negligence. Officials launched an investigation overnight, noting the sharks might have been extra aggressive from hunger since no fish waste had been dumped. Therefore, about a week, Borja's condition is showing slight improvement in everyone's crossing fingers for his quick return to Spain for more medical and emotional support, to rebuild from this life-altering nightmare.
