Today is that of a near miss.

A young was attended to by the doctors on call. The patient has suffered gunshot wound to the right thigh following a robbery attack. About 7 people died in the attack.

The index patient managed to escape and hide in the bush after he was shot.

He was in the bush for more than 12 hours before being rescued.

He was in the bush for more than 12 hours before being rescued.

He was resuscitated after reaching our institution.

The patient was noticed to be having fever.

The question

Could the patient wound already infected?

Is it just because of the level of trauma.?

Is this a different problem entirely.

All the current investigations are not really helping matter; so to say.

We decide to review the available investigation again especially the on

Notice: He was shot on the right thigh, however the bullet image on the XRay is showing on the left thigh.

This mean the bullet transverse the pelvis.

A second evaluation was made. A rectal examination performed. Behold, there are rent in the rectum.

This could explain the fever .

Patient was counsel for operative intervention.

LESSON LEARNT:

1. The evidence you are looking for may just be there, you just have not look well enough.

2. Perseverance and diligence are the great attribute of success.
