- Physicians
are increasingly involved in the medical
care of victims of gunshot wounds. Many of the victims
survive their injuries, and more are likely to do
so as advances in medicine continue. Clinicians
are replacing forensic pathologists as witnesses.
Emergency physicians are among the first
medical personnel to observe the wound characteristics
in their unaltered states and thus have a responsibility
to document these characteristics as accurately
and completely as possible. An understanding of
the fundamental differences in weapons and ammunition
types, as well as a basic understanding of ballistic
principles, will assist the clinician in accomplishing
this task

wounds:
Myths and reality. Critical Care Nursing Quarterly,
22(1), 69-74. Retrieved December 24, 2002, from

- Despite
technological advances, ballistic literature in
the 20th century remains replete with errors, misconcep-tions,
half truths, and false representations. In the majority
of the literature, there has not been a deliberate
attempt to distort or misrepresent the facts but
rather a reliance on myth and misconception. It
is this author's goal to impart a sound, scientifically
supported overview of gunshot wounds and their mechanism
of injury. In doing so, critical care nurses can
care better for individuals suffering from gunshot
wounds and more effectively assist the criminal
justice system
