Bullet Richocheting and Riding the Easy Way – A Case Report
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
A very visible and easily recognizable fire-arm entry wound was discernible on the right shoulder. No exit wound was found. It was assumed that the bullet may have struck a bone and would have rested at the site of impact. As is customarily and logically ordained in such matters an x’ray of right shoulder was advised. It was a shock at not finding the bullet at the end of track. The bullet was clearly found 6 inches below the wound on x’ray lying nose down and base up in perfectly perpendicular position. No fracture of bone was detected. This aspect and corresponding explanation forms the basis of this case report.
