He told Mr Cross not to speak, knowing it would only cause him further pain, before carefully choosing his next words.



"I said, 'do you know you've been in a crash?' I felt a squeeze. Then I said, 'do you know you've lost your leg' and I got a squeeze. I don't think I've done anything harder in my life," he told Nine.com.au.



"I was even the one who had to make the call to his family. You can imagine how difficult that was. It's something I never want to do again."



Mr Bailey had known the 29-year-old since October when the athletic young British backpacker showed up at a pizza shop owned by Mr Bailey’s wife.



It was Mr Cross' first night in Thailand, and the pair soon became firm friends.



Mr Bailey was the first person to arrive at the hospital. The first person Mr Cross called after the accident..............

The rest of the cares in the pictures look proper. They seem to know what they are doing in their “third world country”.

When they were playing with it and then changing things on him without gloves, thats where I draw the line considering the doctors have been expressing concerns of him getting an infection.
