glad to hear my patient made the internet...wonder how that happened...illegal to say the least I did not block out his eyes/etc on this site for obvious reasons.
Any recall of the sites where you saw this. I don't think (?) I've used it on any other sites????
Anyway he did make it to a hospital...but if this occured in the field (it did) and you saw him what would you do....
ignore the ED backround, think of it as the 1st medical facility in theater....2 docs, a few RNs and PA's etc.
this was an explosion (M-80) at the mouth.
