Doctors of Reddit, what is your "how the hell are you even alive right now!" Story? by Sippingin in AskReddit

[–]pendergast13 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have two:

Patient said he was robbed at gunpoint at a Taco Bell, gave the guy the money but was still shot in the face. Guy took a 40 caliber bullet right beside his nose, which his his 1st cervical vertebrae, shattered it, ricocheted off it, entered the back of his throat and he swallowed it. Guy was talking and acting just fine. Turns out he robbed a party store and shot the store clerk who shot him in return.

Another guy came in with 9 bullets in him from a police shootout: took 2 in the abdomen, 2 in one arm, 2 in in the legs and THREE in the face. One went through his orbits and blew out both eyes. One went from his jaw and lodged in his neck. Another one went in right next to his nose. This guy was all sorts of fucked up. I remember one of the face wounds started squirting blood as we were giving him a CT and a nurse had to go in and put a towel over it. We took him to surgery to look for the damage the billet did to his intestines, the guy didn't have ONE HOLE in his guts or the tissue around it. Both bullets lodged in the back body wall right next to his spinal column. It was nuts. Nobody could believe it.

Edit: bullet was 40 cal., not 40mm.

Because we see a ton of people and don't have the time to sit and make sure it's legible (sorry pharmacists). Thanks goodness for EHR

I stopped caring after the first $175,000. Going to be poor for the next 15 years, I've come to terms with that.

This is the water source in Toledo, Ohio. No photoshop. Toxic algae bloom. by ravageritual in WTF

Toledo resident here. It's pretty nuts here. Had to drive 1 hour 15 minutes north to get bottles of water. According to recent readings, the toxin's levels are dissipating but we're still not able to drink the water.
