"I remember everything," she told reporters after her discharge. "I remember my sister pushing me forward and everything went silent. My sister was screaming for people to take care of her. I could hear the ambulance saying she was critical."

Her doctors said Brannock was hospitalized longer than most patients because they wanted to avoid amputating her right leg, which was severely injured. She had already lost part of her left leg.
