By always asking I mean the pt when they come in. I hear some amazing answers (as do you).

Playing chicken as in lighting the M-80, putting it in his mouth, then putting it out or unloading it quick enough to not get hurt? Good God.

I leaned from this thread so thanks Doc. Ive seen plenty of blunt force trauma to the head but not blast injuries yet-

Outstanding reconstruction work on this fellow. How did you close the 4cm gap in the mandible? Bone graft?
