Facebook post about injury while boating

Yesterday I saw a heart-wrenching Facebook post about a boater dealing with a gruesome injury on the boat.  Medical help was hours away, and all they had was a normal first aid kit until the Coast Guard arrived with a trauma kit.  It was gripping and terrifying ... 

... until I realized it was phony.  Total 100% fake -- a shameless advertisement for a company that sells trauma kits.  A professional ad writer using AI to masquerade as a boater in distress.  

I won't dignify it by posting the link here, but it's not hard to find.  Don't believe most of what you see on Facebook!
