The victim was reported in good condition at Northwestern Memorial Hospital.
All sorts of things to say from that.
Northwestern Memorial is a world class hospital, and sometimes they can work wonders.
Also this is Chicago and many locals use the “Gangsta side grip”. Thank you, Hollywood, this has saved more than a few coppers and taxpayers.
If his wounds looked complicated, he would have been taken to Stroger/Cook County Hospital. The BEST trauma unit in the area.
They train the military corpsmen/medics/surgeons on live patients.
A bit of symbiosis, and the interns might get some sleep on a hot summer night; some still not much.

Where do military medics learn to treat combat injuries? For some, right here in Chicago.
“Gun shot and stab wounds account for 25% to 30% of the cases at Cook County Health’s Stroger Hospital making it one of the busiest trauma centers in the country.”
