Hey all,
I’m looking for some info regarding a character I want to give a GSW (gun shot wound) and make him survive it.
Okay, so the scenario; the guy is shot, within a minutes (say five?) he’s assisted by a guy who has quite a bit of knowledge and training in first aid (its part of his job, he’s not a doctor). There are basic medical supplies on hand.
I wanted to know what a realistic maximum time once the guy had been shot that I could have the him survive, (and make a complete recovery--athough the recovery can take a while) before he’s handed over to the guys at the hospital.
I understand this varies on his injuries, his age and health, and a lot of other things too. I had thought of a GSW to the chest, or the stomach, or even to the side of his torso; his ribs?
As for the guy himself; he’s a healthy, fit, active 21 year old. Although, before he was shot, he had been on the loosing end a fight, and I would like him to sustain a couple of broken ribs, possibly a few other minor injuries too.
I have a couple of more questions regarding his injuries, but those questions depend on where I decide to put his GSW.
Thanks for any help you can give.
