It's a miracle that he survived. I wonder if he sustained any long term injuries as a result of this ordeal?ellis16http://www.blogger.com/profile/10815296359672913238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519283043648787575.post-14402405896918299022009-03-19T18:41:00.000-07:002009-03-19T18:41:00.000-07:00omg what are they gonna do with him....that pictur...omg what are they gonna do with him....that picture is horrible and did they give up any follow up on his conditions or anything?JeffreyJhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06874173115142728235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519283043648787575.post-34939231918217293762009-03-18T21:49:00.000-07:002009-03-18T21:49:00.000-07:00That's crazy.

It makes sense that the rod stopped some of the bleeding and I believe that the most dangerous thing to do in situations like that is to try to pull it out because of that. It's interesting to think about this in comparison to the Phineas Gage case. That particular incident has ended up hugely affecting how psychologists and doctors view the brain. I wonder if this case could end up being similarly helpfulCharlottehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00126259815325133884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519283043648787575.post-90441444431780231372009-03-18T18:51:00.000-07:002009-03-18T18:51:00.000-07:00This boy is both lucky and a medical miracle.

It's horrible to think about, but it makes sense that the rod, while going through the boy, limited internal bleeding. Wow.aklemphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17392874213268542664noreply@blogger.com
