Andrew's body type is most likely
ectomorphic
To answer your first question yes. In fact a gunshot wound to the lungs while serious is a breath of fresh air when considering the alternatives of a heart or brain GSW.
Normally when associate gun shot wounds we think people die of hemmorhage or destruction tissue, and all things considered it is a possibility (The right Brachiocephalic artery is a major artery supplying the head or and left arm). A nick to artery could kill you pretty fast. Additionally you have the pulmonary arteries and veins which could also kill you through exsanguanation. However these are less likely. Nominally the the lungs do not have so much thick vascularity.
The lungs however do have the consistency of tissue paper, and rely on a vacuum between it and the pleural space in order to breath (Boyle's law; I can explain it if you need just comment). If a hole is punched into the lung especially from a projectile you have the slower risk of bleeding and air going into the space. That space will constanly expand, collapsing the lung, as the patient breathes, untel it vill the entire pleural cavity. However air and blood will continue to leak into the space until eventually it begins to push into onto the other lung and the heart. Thisblife threatening condition is called Pneumothorax or in late stage's where it pushes the heart, a Tension Pneumothorax. This can obstruct the other lungs breathing capacity as well as the hearts ability to pump blood. This causes Obstructive shock and then coma, then death. However this is usually a somewhat slow way to go and can easily be prevented with fast and rapid transport, and applying pressure to the wound (you may still have a whole in the lung leaking air, but by applying pressure you stop the contribution of the hole in of the chest). Nominally in the hospital we'd repair and remove the bullet, suture up the wounds, and decompress the sac and you should be good as new. Usually the process to die can take a while.... Interesting fact, you can see a Pneumothorax as the tracheal will curve toward the healthy lung.
If you have any questions just ask below.
Answer:
Hi there, alternative and complementary medicine deals with herbs such as herbal plants to treat a cold, acupuncture, and massages. It is a term for medical products and practices that aren't part of standard medical practices.
Explanation:
Advantages- Helps both the mind and body (can be used for both physical and mental therapy), very cheap, helps with personal attention (such as back pain this type of medical practice helps with that low cost)
Disadvantages: No regulation (not a lot of Health Organizations such as CDC doesn't recommend it), has long term treatments (If you have cancer the medical procedure in this medical practices takes longer than any cancer screening and treatments in regular medical practices) and it isn't useful for emergency medical treatment.
Hope that helped :)
