Abdominal Trauma
In patients with abdominal injury, whether blunt, stab, missile, or crush in which you you suspect abdominal vascular injury, avoid lower extremity IV access.
Stab wound patients sustain major abdominal vascular injury 10% of the time, which causes a clean transection or laceration.
25% of GSW patients have a major abdominal vascular injury, the extent of which is variable based on wound ballistics.
Blunt trauma results in major abdominal vascular injury 5-10% of the time. Injury occurs primarily by deceleration, producing shear injuries, or by crushing, often times seen in MVA's.

Somewhere a True Believer is training to kill you. He is training with minimal food or water, in austere conditions, training day and night. The only thing clean on him is his weapon and he made his web gear. He doesn't worry about what workout to do - his ruck weighs what it weighs, his runs end when the enemy stops chasing him. This True Believer is not concerned about 'how hard it is;' he knows either he wins or dies. He doesn't go home at 17:00, he is home.
He knows only The Cause.
