Baldwin feared he could lose hand after lion bite
By Jack Davies
Wales hooker Scott Baldwin has revealed he could have lost his hand after he was bitten by a lion last month.
Baldwin sustained the injury after attempting to stroke the animal at a game lodge ahead of the Ospreys' Pro14 clash with the Cheetahs.
The bizarre incident ruled him out of the Welsh region's defeat in Bloemfontein and he is yet to make his playing return.
Baldwin's injuries required stitches but the 29-year-old says an infection posed the biggest threat.
"The infection was the major issue," he told the BBC.
"The next day it started tracking up my arm. The surgeon said there was a chance I could lose my hand.
"The bite went straight through the other side of the hand, but I was really lucky it didn't hit any tendons or ligaments.
"The surgeon said it was like winning the lottery, he said it was the best possible outcome considering I had been bitten by a lion."
Discussing his recovery, Baldwin - capped 34 times by Wales - added: "The first day our doctor cleaned it out and stitched it up. But the following day we went to the hospital after it had become infected.
"I had my first operation on the Thursday, second operation on the Friday, and then I was allowed to fly home Saturday on the understanding I had an IV drip and went straight to hospital when I got back.
"I was transferred to Morriston Hospital in Swansea to see a plastic surgeon, and he cleaned it out once more.
"Because they had packed it with all of the stuff to stop the infection, my skin was so loose he didn't have to take a skin graft, so I was really fortunate there."
Baldwin hopes to be in contention to feature for the Ospreys against Saracens in the Champions Cup on Saturday.

If France show total disrespect for NZR and NZ fans then Id be looking at ways to show our dissaproval.😁😁😁🤣🤣😃😁Politely of course Hehe!
1/ Hold the teams officials for 8 hrs at the airport and after full cavity searches, put players into isolation for 2 weeks like COVID days. Cant have those diseased French polluting NZ.
2/ Once out of quarantine, Billit the French out to a school hall… 40 players to a room.
3/Have the hall at a school with a “no alcohol” policy. Even with meals.
4/Have them in an area where there is no outside communication ( no phone reception )
5/Give them “Tuck shop food”
5/Have concrete training fields
7/Have no goalposts at the concrete training fields
8/ Give no rooms for team meetings, except their toilet and change rooms…Under repair from “spillage”
9/ Fly them ALL to matches….. In a tiny plane without legroom. Make the trip a 3 hr scenic tourist flight. NZ is a beautiful country.
10/ NEVER refer to them as the French test side. Call them the French no two’s.
11/ Allow alcohol the night before tests.
12/ Call the Tests “practice matches for the SA tour”
Come on NZ fans…. Return the disrespect if thats what we are shown.😁😁😁
Go to commentsHOW TO RETRIEVE STOEN BITCOIN DUNAMIS CYBER SOLUTION
I never imagined that I would be one of those individuals who would lose access to their Bitcoin wallet, but there I was looking at my computer screen in utter horror. I was a freelance graphic designer and had invested $250,000 in Bitcoin throughout the years, hoping that it would be the gateway to my financial future. I was proud of myself for being careful with my investments and online security. But one day after I updated my laptop, I realized I could not access my wallet. My password was gone, and in case that was not enough, my recovery phrase was nowhere to be found as well. My heart sank. I felt like my world was collapsing.
The thought of losing all my savings was simply unacceptable. I tried everything—backtracking, searching through old notes, and scavenging through my emails—but all in vain.
Desperation kicked in, and I started looking online for any kind of solution. That's when I came across DUNAMIS CYBER SOLUTION on Reddit. I was hesitant at first—how was it possible for anyone to recover something as secure as a Bitcoin wallet? Was this some internet scam? But after reading hundreds of positive reviews from individuals who were in the same predicament, I thought I would try.
Their staff was extremely professional and reassuring right from the time I called them. They heard me out patiently and explained the process of recovery step by step, in detail. They did not make any false promises but told me that they would do their best to recover my wallet. Their honesty and transparency filled me with hope.
The procedure was seamless and well-coordinated. The team was in touch constantly and kept me updated, which eased my worry. In a week's time, I got the message I had been fervently wishing for—they had retrieved my wallet successfully. All the Bitcoins were intact. I was filled with relief and thankfulness.
DUNAMIS CYBER SOLUTION were not just highly professional but also very humane and sympathetic. They understood the psychological toll such a disaster can take and handled my case with utmost sensitivity and professionalism. They saved my financial future, and I owe them eternal gratitude.
If you are ever unfortunate enough to lose access to your Bitcoin wallet, I would highly recommend DUNAMIS CYBER SOLUTION They turned what seemed like an impossible mission into a success story. I am eternally thankful for their services and the peace of mind they restored to my life.
