How are some people conscious after a gun shot wound to the head, even if it's fatal?
For example Robert Kennedy took a head shot, the bullet was lodged in his brain, while bone fragments spread deep inside is brain. But he managed to stay conscious for about 10 minutes before eventually passing out.

Which worked somewhat..
And I kept "sting kill" on the sting wound, wrapped in gauze and medical tape.

1 AnswerFirst Aid1 week agoInjection gone wrong, I think I hit some kind of vein, should I be concerned?
This morning I was doing a routine injection into my thigh, but I hit a weird resistance, and I wasn't thinking and just continued. I left the site in for a few hours before noticing that there was a lot of bruising around it, so I took it off. It seemed alright to begin with, but the hole grew a little bit, and it's bleeding a bit, just enough to show somewhat on the bandaid.
I'm a diabetic, and this has never happened before. Should I be concerned? Are there any complications that I should be looking out for?

Injuries1 week agoHow do you remove a knife from a stab wound?
I know that if you're stabbed you should go to the hospital and allow professionals to remove it, but would if you had no access to medical aid? What is the best way to remove the knife with minimal damage? Or should you just leave it in even if you have no way to contact 911?
3 AnswersInjuries1 week agoCan continuous sounds while asleep cause ringing in the ears after waking up as a result of constant eardrum and ear canal stimulation ?
I've had aquarium bubbles going in my bedroom as a kid, but they helped me sleep. No ringing. I've used nature sounds as an adult, but only recently have I experienced ringing in the ears later in the day after I wake up. I listen to a lot of computer audio like YouTube and live TV streams for hours most of the day and evening. The ear ringing started recently when my sleep sound (to help me fall asleep) was jet plane cabin noise. So I switched to white noise and it's still happening. Neither is at a loud volume level - just enough for me to hear it across the room from my computer speakers. I don't know if it's related, but I've had a clear sticky substance in my ear canals and I don't know where it's coming from. It used to be both ears, but lately it's just the left ear. This has been going on at least 6 months, long time before the ringing started. My doctor prescribed 2 nose sprays and 2 pills, mainly anti-histamines, thinking it was allergies, but that was 6 months ago, long before the ringing started. I don't take that stuff regularly anymore and question if it did any good. Four prescriptions seemed like overkill, as if he was guessing. Throw some spaghetti at the wall and maybe some of it will stick. Even if one of them worked, I'd never know which one, for the future. I still don't think that's related to the ringing. I've heard of people having ringing ears as a symptom of COVID, but I haven't had COVID.

3 AnswersPain & Pain Management1 week agoLeft hip pain?
My left hip is in absolutely agony after a long walk or run. It’s usually okay when I’m on my feet a lot during the day at work but sometimes aches when I’m going to bed. I’m a left side sleeper but it’s been hurting when I lay on it at night too. It’s gotten to the point where I have to take a couple days off after a run or long walk because I’m limping and end up taking pain killers 3x per day which sometimes helps. Just asking for any advice before I go see a doctor?

2 AnswersPain & Pain Management2 weeks agoIs it OK to take my second Moderna dose one day early?
I got my first shot of Moderna a few days ago, and for whatever reason they scheduled me for 27 days after my first dose and I know it’s supposed to be at least 28. Should I just go with it or be safe and reschedule slightly later.. if anyone has background with this give a response.
