Maybe don't recommend that to them right now

That was a clean slice to the throat and the guy was conscious for several moments afterwards. Kirk took a gunshot wound into/through the neck, pretty much all the blood in his head fell out within seconds, and he immediately lost consciousness.

I mean, I despise Kirk as a person...

... but I've seen a face transform the way his did, before.

Oh fuck, (fuck you im having a PTSD attack at the moment) yeah, those ... that total limpness of the body, the slack jaw, the wide open, glazed eyes...

That is bare minimum, at the least, a massive drop in blood flow and pressure to the brain.

Brains don't do so good without blood flow for very long.

Also could easily have severed the spinal cord, shattered vertebrae around the neck.

Possibly also now he's down a lung.

I dunno, Stamets said it was a fairly flat trajectory, looked to be a fairly like, straight ahead, from straight in front of him shot....

I will literally start shaking and crying (and probably screaming and hyperventilating) if I watch more videos / that video again right now, so yeah, 'preliminary analysis'.

...

Sure, sure its maybe technically possible he lives through this, assuming he got bandaged with pressure basically immediately and then also got to an OR within like 15 minutes.

Otherwise... either dead or basically a mostly brain dead / paralyzed vegetable, would be my guess.

I am also not a doctor, and am currently having a panic attack, so, grain of salt and all that.

That guy survived because the medical trainer was a Vietnam vet who shoved his fingers in there to pinch it shut. I don’t see that happening here

Scott, from Kentucky Ballistics rather famously had a .50 cal explode in his face, a chunk of the gun perforated his neck and went down into his lung, and honestly. He survived and is, outwardly at least, doing pretty well. Stick a thumb in it.

Hah, I've not heard that, I will try it...

....as soon as I recover from crippling injuries.

I got a bunch specific PT excersises though, thats a good idea, just work out through it.

Appreciate the update. Guess we'll see what shakes out.

I saw a video out of Australia of two big guys trying to beat up a guy who was trying to defend himself with a knife. One of the gets stuck in the neck and dies instantly. It was like watching a real life horror movie.

The internet is a terrible place

You saw less than a coke bottle of blood, I’ve seen much worse and seen people survive. The key is quickly stopping/slowing the bleeding, getting to blood products to replace the loss, getting to surgery to fix the hole.

The long wars in the middle east actually taught us a lot about fixing this kind of stuff.
