some of my first x-ray patients this week :
1. 30 yr old man who ate a large rolex watch - then had seizures while i was positioning him for abdomen films.
2. 45 yr old male who was mountain biking and was impaled through his chest by a tree
3. 56 yr old female who jumped off the aurora bridge in a suicide attempt (both legs and feet shattered)
4. young female who was shot by her boyfriend while riding in a car with her two kids. humerus bone - destroyed. number of bullets in her arm, pelvis and thigh - 13? chance that she will live - not good..
and there are too many others to mention. it's been a long week. i'll get the images posted soon.
