An Australian father, Adam Sharam, is in critical condition after a fishing accident in Papua New Guinea. A wave capsized his boat on November 12, injuring him severely when he was struck by the propeller. Sharam underwent emergency surgery for a fractured skull and serious leg wounds at Port Moresby Hospital. He remains in the ICU and faces a long recovery, with uncertainty about the extent of his leg injuries. His family is struggling with a $78,000 medical evacuation bill to bring him home. Friends and family have started a fundraiser to help cover the costs, as Sharam did not have travel insurance.
