You were there and I wasn't....but this anatomy chart....your video.....and "above the spine" don't jive in my eyes.
I'm not taking a shot at ANYONE when I ask the question I asked, earlier. It just doesn't appear to possibly be above the spine, TO ME.
I just watched the video, again....and that exit (I'm assuming) wound is 10"-1' down on the right side. I'm just not seeing that as a flesh wound. Again....NO intentions other than MY education.
