Washi Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 DSGBs' post made me decide to post this. A distant relative of mine was shot just this season. He is 73. He was sitting on the opposite side of a field from someone else. Don't know if they knew each other were there as I haven't heard all the details. The guy is actually doing quite well and should be out of the hospital soon. The doctors say that there is a good chance he would have died if it wouldn't have been for the fact that his arteries and stuff are backwards in his chest. His whole heart might be backwards, I can't remember. The bullet hit where a major artery should have been but it is on the wrong side. A few people in my family are like this but he didn't even know he had this condition until now. I'll stop rambling now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
