I get a little suspicious of the accuracy of a story from a TV station in Cincinnati, Ohio, whose source is a story from a New Zealand newspaper, about something that happened to a Canadian tourist in the Turks and Caicos islands in the Caribbean. Truly a globe spanning story.
EDIT: Going to the New Zealand Herald, their story just seems to be a copy of the story in the Daily Telegraph of London, England, written by one of their U.S. correspondents. That is at least a British territory, so it sort of works. Information seems largely the same as in the Turks and Caicos Weekly, so maybe the story is accurate.

Prices?
Typo, works both ways i guess tho. The amount of money this will cost probably isn't zero.
To be fair, aside from approaching a bull shark, she did everything correct. Low heart rate, calm, etc.. If prosthetics were only 20 years more advanced, she wouldn’t be permanently crippled by this injury.
From what source are you basing the detail "low heart rate, calm"? The OP article mentions nothing about the woman's state other than her immediate trauma.
