The scenario is a husband and wife are snaking the basement floor drain and the husband sticks his arm down the drain hole to clear some debris when the wife turns the snake on. The husband becomes entrapped in the snake and the drain. So we have to cut the concrete to get the pipe out... then dissect the pipe... then cut his finger out of the auger.

The intensity of the scene rises as the video progresses until the extrication of the patient. Check out the video below and tabletop some questions below with your crew.
