Thankfully, they were able to get him back to town where he was able to get the medical attention he needed. Willie told his brother he couldn't believe how quickly he was able to get him to the clinic and that even though he's not a crybaby, he couldn't believe how much the injury hurt.

Willie also expressed his shock that they were able to get him on a plane and airlift him to care and how seamless the entire experience was. He expressed his gratitude for how "on it" Chip and Agnes were and how they worked so well as a team to ensure that he was brought to safety.

Although Willie's injury was pretty gnarly, he seemed to be in a good mood about it, stating, "that which doesn't kill you makes you stronger," after giving a wry smile.
