It depends on the state law, but yes, they can be required to report it. Here’s the Massachusetts law, and here’s the Texas law.
I remember an old saying. If you shoot someone with a 22 and they find out about it, they are going to be pissed. I also had a boss that fell down a flight of stairs and broke his leg and didn’t realize it until he sobered up the next day.
Seriously, with arthroscopic surgery how much collateral damage are we talking getting a bullet out, unless it flattened out a lot going in?
Arthroscopic surgery could be great if the bullet happens to be in, you know, a joint. But if it’s in muscle or soft tissue or an organ or other body cavities, I wouldn’t want to be sticking an arthroscope in there to get it. If it’s in the bladder, maybe a cystoscope can pull it out through the urethra, or if it’s sitting on top of the spleen or uterus, a laparoscope could pull it out, I suppose.
(my bolding). :eek: No thank you. Slice me open instead.
if it was a red ryder i would have cut it out by now, it was a 2000fps varmit rifle. its well into my body… somwere… doctors tomorrow
It’s especially meaningful if you overplay the nasal "o"s, and really get into the pig sound.
“No! I was jacking off and I shot the dog!”
One of my favorite jokes.
If a bullet (in my case a .22 no jacket, just lead) is lodged in a muscle or in between muscles (my forearm) does working out the muscles in the area increase the chances of the bullet migrating to the epidermis?
