Gayle and Mac Shann show meaning of love after horrific rural accident | Australian Story (2003)

Gayle Shann was working with her husband on their property 'Cantaur Park' when her glove became entangled in a drilling machine inflicting shocking injuries and nearly ripping her apart.

It would take half an hour for the nearest neighbour to arrive and a further two hours for the flying doctor to get there.

Luckily for Gayle that neighbour was a former nurse - but she was shocked by the extent of the injuries.

It's left Gayle physically dependent on her husband for almost every need. But he took it in his stride. "When we said our vows on our wedding day, we meant it."

Voted one of Australian Story's most popular episodes in 2003.
