Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.

For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

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.
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.
^ This.
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.
Plus, he wasnt a complete prick.
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...
... 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.
It’s wild how you transmitted the feeling of having a panic attack in your text
Hah, yeah... more or less just stream of consciousness what i... was actually saying/thinking.
Like... yeah, really more saying aloud than thinking internally, I had a visceral enough reaction to that that it was all actually spoken.
As for the formatting / syntax... once upon a time I spent way too much time in various kinds of 'serious' chat based RP... and I sort of invented and internalized my own somewhat unique way of conveying rapidity vs pauses, emphasis and what not.
You weren't around during the rotten.com days? This is rather tame by comparison.
Oh no, I was.
I am still literally traumatized by some of the shit I saw there, as well as... stuff that has happened to or very near to me, in the real.
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.
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.
Yeah but he has the benefit of being a decent human, so people don't actively want him dead
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.
So yeah, you're probably right.
