Ground Meat

[Casey Simpson]

Yesterday I was talking to a buddy by phone during his drive to the trauma unit where he's a resident surgeon. A gunshot victim. 270 in the belly. Didn't make it. He said the liver was like ground meat.

We know this from various experiences, especially game hunting, but its a reminder that, at the end of a center fire high velocity rifle, human organs get pulverized just like game animals' do.

Hmmm. He probably does, but they're probably protected by patient-health care provider privilege. I'll see.

Interested in learning the story behind that wound...maybe not.

The words "Never point the muzzle at anything you don't intend to destroy" come to mind.

Man is no different in composition than an animal. In the blink of an eye a life can change there is no question about that.

Been teaching hunter safety for around 30 years... Since I was 18. And, yet, this sort of thing is still commonplace.

One simple rule... Really. It's simple. Totally simple.

Nope. Dr. Rath said while the guy was dying he didn't think to take pictures.

I guess we'll excuse him this time.
