I cannot imagine that guy had great chances of survival. Any swamp water in his wounds would likely cause a serious infection.
Better than nothing I guess
I mean in a regular surgery anything below waist level or so is already considered non-sterile, So I think the risk of doctors accidentally dipping their hands in the swamp water is pretty low :P
