Question For Physicians or Physicians in Training....(You Know Who You Are)

Well I thought he was shot in the leg....not the groin as BG mentioned....that's part of your torso there......nothing to tourniquet as she said.

Had not heard all the talk about his personality etc...that you mentioned DM; but then don't really follow sports so no real reason I should So you are thinking that he pissed off the wrong person perhaps and it was someone he knew. Interesting.

Weedhound Reviewed by Weedhound on 11-30-2007. Question For Physicians or Physicians in Training....(You Know Who You Are) This young football player Sean Taylor who was shot and killed. How common is it for someone to die of an a bleeding injury like that...considering he was in his home and was able to call and get help right away (my understanding is he wasn't alone at home). I guess my question is....should he have died in todays day and age of a leg injury or is that not uncommon? Rating: 5

The femoral artery is a good place for an arterial stick in patient's with low blood pressure when you can't palpate a radial or brachial pulse.

The other thing is that the phone lines into his house were cut, so there was definetely some foul play afoot.
