'Do you know how many bullets I pull out of corpses weekly?' - doctors to NRA

[Aristus]

6. I don't work in emergency medicine or trauma surgery,

but I have several patients who are gunshot victims, and will live with the results of their wounds for the rest of their lives.

One patient has almost no function in his upper extremities from a GSW to the posterior right shoulder; he was right-hand dominant before the wound. Now, he can barely write his name.

I have another patient who is chronically catheterized, and will urinate into a bag for the rest of his life. He has to deal with frequent, recurrent urinary tract infections.

Each of these patients was wounded by just one round each from a gun.
