head wound
hey guys,
yesterday i was squirrel hunting with my friend and got hit with a rikochet from a pellet gun.....i was hit right above the ear and there was lots of blood, there is a bump about the size of a pellet under the skin but my dad (whos a doctor) looked at it and stuck a steralized needle into the entrie wound and didnt feel anything so we assume its just swelling and are waiting to see if it goes down, do you guys think its in there...its feels alot like one??

My father inlaw has a metal detector and it picks up the screw in my leg.

RE: head wound
when i was young and dumb (15 or so) i was rabbit hunting with my trusty ole 22... shot at a bunny and missed.. bullet hit a log that was waterlogged and frozen... ricocheted off of that... hit an old junk semi truck cab near by (hit the grab handle actually), ricocheted again and came back and popped me in the stomach just below the rib cage... lots of blood... hot and burning... i thought i was in deep doo doo... began to panic a bit.... but it all panned out when i got the bloody tshirt off to find the bullet had only made it slightly into the muscle and i removed it with some tweezers and finally got the bleeding to stop... wish i was a skinny now as i was back then
its nothing to mess with... if there is a "hole" you should be on your way to see what is in it... if no hole then i reckon its just a goose egg... but better safe than sorry...

RE: head wound
Well, your dad may be a doctor, but I'm a board certified witch doctor! My recommendation is to take a mature rooster, pluck three tail feathers, tuck them behind your ear, then chant a Caribean song while slitting the throat of the rooster over a dish to capture the blood. Then drink the blood. All will be well.
Just kidding. Hey, if your dad is a doctor and he feels that it is OK to monitor the situation, I think that is a wise course to follow. He probably has thought about the worst case scenario and doesn't feel that much harm can come from monitoring the situation even if his initial diagnosis was wrong. If the swelling doesn't go down, then he'll address the problem again.
