On June 9, 1977 one of the first successful arm reattachment surgeries was performed at Grand View hospital by Dr. David C. Rilling, Dr. David C. Rising and Dr. Dennis L. Moyer. The left arm of a 19 year old Pennsburg man had been accidentally completely severed at the shoulder by an electric circular saw while working at a Green Lane furniture factory. What followed was the amazing story of Jesse Masarjian's successful resuscitation, arm reimplantation surgery and heroic recovery.
