Stab wounds

[SMP9168]

Edged weapons are a favorite among the homeless/transients. Stabbings often ocurr in and around the homeless shelters. Reports indicate that the homeless rate is rising. Another possible correlation?

Local PD informally reports stabbings have doubled since this time last year.

Gentlemen-

While the TS can start topics or cause hijacks anywhere on this site that he deems appropriate.... this is the medical forum. Let's not get to far off the topic of the practice of medicine or lessons learned.

For future posts in THIS original medical forum thread, let's get back to medicine. The same thread will be copied to general discussions topic for the follow-up on the firearm vs edged weapon commentary.
