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-

I'm sure many of you have received some training in the South. My guess would have been a local favorite..."Hey Bubba, watch this!" Sadly that is too often more truth than humor.

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