That shrapnel probably came as he was falling off the sharp metal stage at an Anti-War rally in the early 70's.

"Kerry's doctor, Gerald Doyle, said he could not characterize the severity of the wounds since he didn't see them"
How does he know that there is shrapnel then?

Gerald Doyle, said he could not characterize the severity of the wounds since he didn't see them, but he noted that Kerry was in danger of serious injury several times.
EVERYONE who has LIVED has been in danger of serious injury several times!! What kind of hack is Gerald Doyle?? A Democrat Hack!
And what about Kerry claiming he was the Skipper on #94 when it came under fierce fire in Jan. 1969, when it was ACTUALLY ED PECK...not John Kerry!!
The man is a FRAUD!

According to Rush today, the January(?) section of Kerry's "released" military records aren't his. They're someone else's. The section is about another skipper who was in charge of the boat that day. Sheesh. I wonder if Kerry did that on purpose.

If true, is this an argument for the scrapnel being so small as to not be worth the effort to extract it?
To: SF Republican
Let me guess, even though he sets off every airport metal detector, he gets frisked every time. Right?

Dallas Mike is right! It is a well known fact that every case of the clap in Viet Nam went into the medical records as nsu or nonspecific urethritis.
I love you too much, John!

Doyle noted that if the shrapnel had hit Kerry in the eye, it could have blinded him. LOL, well duh. If he had caught on fire, he could have been burned. If a meteor had stuck him, he could have been killed. But it didn't.

"...Doctors decided to leave the shrapnel in place rather than make a wider opening to remove it. "
What Kerry doesn't realize is that it's not shrapnel in his leg. It's a homing device insert by the doctors at the request of the FBI, who knew this sucker was going to be trouble. Better keep an eye on this anti-war, anti-government, atrocity loving sh!tstarter.
