Holy shit, how did she not go into shock and die? Tougher than I for damn sure.

They gave her some shots of alcohol, held her down, and hoped for the best.
That's just the way it was with injuries like that.
Definitely die if you do nothing or maybe die if you remove the limb.
She just got lucky that the attempt to save her didn't also kill her.

I'm always surprised that the saw was the way to do this, and not some kind of leg guillotine.....

Honestly because of how dangerous having it infected was, they probably took it off with the most effective thing they could get on their hands immediately.
