It weird that for a small spider (in terms of size relatative to tarantulas) that its bite can be so destructive.
Keep in mind that the bite itself isn't what could kill you outright, but the composition of the venom and the cause it has on your muscles and tissues.
Most fatalities from BR bites are from the necrosis caused by the venom. The skin dies and causes a major infection throughout that part of the body, which usually results in a larger area of tissue loss than the bite site.
I hope he recovers fully, and doesn't have to endure any further surgery.
The rehab and recovery will be painfull enough!
