shot in the hand

2010 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

A middle age man presented to the ER at Gritman Medical Center in Moscow Idaho with a self inflicted GSW(gun shot wound) to his hand and an BAL(blood alcohol level) of nearly .40. upon triage as he slipped in and out of consciousness it was noted on his medalert bracelet that he was diabetic and the recipient of a kidney transplant therefore making pain, infection and surgical management difficult. It was later learned that the bracelet belonged to his deceased father and that he wore it in rememberance of his dearly beloved deceased father. Way to go Cleitus!!!

A personal account at it's best thanks Doc! Wearing someone elses medical alert bracelet is very dangerous!

For our readers: Just for one problem, if they thought they saw sign of hyperglycemia and injected insulin, that could kill him. Thanks, Marcus!
