Inside a gunshot victim

Description

It was an otherwise ordinary evening when a gunman walked into a pub and shot an innocent man seven times at point-blank range with a Makarov semiautomatic. After re-creating the crime, this program tracks the victim from the scene of the shooting, to surgery, to intensive care, to recovery and ongoing therapy for PTSD as it addresses the treatment of his wounds through expert commentary supported by 3-D computer graphics and OR footage. The program also uses ballistics data, high-speed photography, and wound photos to graphically illustrate the effects of a variety of firearms-and to underscore the senselessness of carrying a gun just to be "cool." An excellent emergency medicine case study, Inside a Gunshot Victim also has definite value as an aid in deterring youth violence.
