WARNING -- GRAPHIC WOUNDS

wolf · 03-04-2006, 02:29 PM

I finally got a doctor to look at these. It's been busy lately, but last night we had this guy who stabbed himself in the chest with a steakknife because he was pissed off at the neighbors or something. I don't know much more because I just took the initial phone call and he came in after my shift was over.

Anyway, that incident reminded me about these pictures and I showed them to the doc. He says that the wounds are real, and quite typical. There are no major blood vessels where the guy got cut. In the wound on his stomach (picture #2), the gooey looking bits are fat, and the deeper raw steaky-looking bit is a muscle that was cut into. the wiggly bit on picture #3 is probably wound packing material.

The most dangerous wound is probably the one on his back that goes down from his right shoulder towards his belt line ... because of the danger of a pneumothorax (lung puncture and collapse, which are easy to miss because sometimes the tear isn't open until a person gets into just the right position).

After I got this info, I got a 30 minute lecture on c-sections and the amount of bleeding you can get when slicing a uterus open.

I'm not sure I needed that info.
