This amazing Bonanza episode was chosen because of a similar Little House on the Prairie storyline in the episode, A Matter of Faith from Season 2, Episode 15.
“Alone at the Ponderosa while everyone else is away on a cattle drive, Joe suffers a compound fracture in his left arm when he is kicked by a horse spooked by a severe thunderstorm. Joe fights to stay conscious and treat his wounds. When he becomes delirious, he fears that gangrene has infected his arm, leaving Joe with a difficult decision: amputate, or not amputate?”
