Thats motivational in what regard? Thats sick!!!
A midwestern sodbuster in the 1870s-1930s, or a steel/railroad worker in Chicago, Cincinnati, Detroit, circa 1870s-1950s would have done that by himself, doused the affected area with some whiskey, drank a shot of whiskey, then picked up his tools and his steel lunchbox and went to work, missing no shifts, no call outs. A breed of men that the new generations REALLY need to be inspired by again.
