and found the abrasion was too small to suture. We gave him a tetanus shot and some antibiotics and sent him on his way,” doesn’t jibe with him heroically surviving a gunshot would inflicted by a radical leftist Marxist, fascist.

but is that injury consistent with being grazed by a bullet? His ears are close to his head, no hair impact? It just nicked the ear?

He didn’t go to a hospital. Does Dr. Ronnie have a clinic in Butler?

We're supposed to take their word for how and what happened? Not me. maybe they are calling HIPPA regs? (except if someone wants to see if a woman is pregnant)

It was as I heard to start that he was actually wounded by shards from the teleprompter not hit by the bullet. If he had been hit by the bullet, even a graze hae would be bragging about it all over the place.

With certain exceptions carved out.

For example the insurance company needs enough information to confirm the patient is covered and identify what was done before they (you hope) provide compensation for covered services.

Or if the patient owes money and you need to refer them to a collection agency. Or when necessary to comply with law enforcement needs. Not that either of those are probabilities to factor in.

The media is NOT mentioning that he was asked and refused. The MEDIA needs to do their job. IF TFG refused to answer, then say so.

My problem is, Has he been asked? It IS the job of News media to report if he refused or not. (that's my thinking) Did he refuse?

where talked about the specifics of the wounds and how they went about treating him. Keeping all this info under wraps does nothing but fuel wild speculation & conspiracy shit.

Or people could stop obsessing over information that they don't have a right to in the first place.

Even if a report was released, about half of DU would call it bogus. It's not going to stop the speculation.

Is that the bullet went in one ear, and out the other. Nothing was in-between to stop it. No damage done.
