🐊🎣 A day spent fishing behind his home took an unexpected turn when Earl suffered serious injuries following an alligator encounter.

After being transported to Lakewood Ranch Medical Center, Earl received expert care from our trauma and surgical teams. β€œIt was the skill of the staff at Lakewood Ranch Medical Center that literally saved me, life and limb,” Earl shared.

Today, Earl is continuing his recovery and has even returned to fishing behind his house, though he says he'll be paying a little closer attention to his surroundings.
