Heart Injuries Not Always Fatal In War And Peace
A Mexico City servant pierced through the heart by a knife survived after doctors removed the weapon and repaired the heart. In a hospital the same era a shrapnel fragment was extracted from a patient after air was pumped into the lungs. A rabbi stabbed in the heart and a butcher stabbed in a Leeda incident also survived after heart repairs. A revolver wound with a bullet embedded in the apex was successfully removed.
