Oh my holy god, fuck, yeah, just watched the vid, jesus fucking christ, there is essentially zero chance he survives that… oh god… welp thats enough PTSD trigger s for me today time for … right I quit cigarrettes… got a vape now… oh…
…ok, might be calling it a day for me using the internet today.
If you’re physically up for it, doing a bunch of jumping jacks hits the perfect combination of using up adrenaline and making my lungs hurt to replace emotional smoking. It’s not well received in public though.
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.
My partner guesses his sternocleidomastoid muscle must have gotten severed because his head snapped back like that. This is what keeps your head down and causes TMJ.
‘Fencing response’ is conducive with brain damage. Sudden blood pressure drop to the brain can cause that response. Practically speaking he died instantly, a neck shot like that might as well have been a head shot.
… 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.
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.
I don’t know him personally, so I can’t vouch for the guy.
I think a bigger factor is that what happened to Scott was an freak accident, no one was trying to avoid an active shooter when it happened, so he was able to get aid from his father (the guy behind the camera) immediately.

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.
Eh, you’d be surprised what people can survive. Check out the goalie that got his throat slit on the ice. Buuuut here’s for hope’n.
Maybe don’t recommend that to them right now
I appreciate you =]
I’m doing a bit better now.

George Orwel got shot through the throat ina similar fashion during the Spanish Civil war and survived. So Kirk could theoretically survive this
Well, he didn’t, so Orwell was either luckier or made of sterner stuff… or had a more competent medic immediately nearby.
^ This.
The “fencing response” was a surprise. Doesn’t that indicate severe neural damage? Spinal cord hit perhaps?
‘Fencing response’ is conducive with brain damage. Sudden blood pressure drop to the brain can cause that response. Practically speaking he died instantly, a neck shot like that might as well have been a head shot.
I mean, I despise Kirk as a person…

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
Also, skate blade makes a much cleaner cut than a bullet. A lot less collateral damage too. Not to mention whatever the exit wound looks like.
That side was the exit wound.

Yeah but he has the benefit of being a decent human, so people don’t actively want him dead

So yeah, you’re probably right.
