'It was looking at me, right next to me,' he said. 'I thought it could bite me again so I pushed it with my hand and I kicked at it with my foot and it left.'
— A man who was bitten by a great white shark off the central California coast last month was released from the hospital Wednesday.
In a video supplied by the medical center, Bruemmer said from his hospital bed that the shark bit him across his thighs and abdomen and then"it spit me out." The shark came within a millimeter of severing a major artery, Nicholas Rottler, a trauma surgeon at the medical center, told KSBW-TV a day after the June 22 attack."It could've been much, much worse — he could've not made it out of the water," Rottler said.
Bruemmer said he was taken to a trauma center for surgery and received 28 units of blood. He thanked the medical workers and the blood donors for saving his life.
