Roald Dahl's father lost his arm when he was 14. He was on a ladder retiling the roof when he slipped and fell. He fractured his arm below the elbow but when he called a doctor, the doctor was drunk and thought the fractured arm was a dislocated shoulder. The drunk doctor called some men of the street to push the 'shoulder' back into place. The men held Dahl's father's waist whilst the doctor pulled. His mother was watching and stopped the men and the doctor a second after it happened, but the damaged was done. Dahl's father had no choice other than to amputate his arm.
