Since they probably pulled them out, one by one, with tweezers, yeah. I imagine they kept count.
See post #364 for info on pellet entering a vein.
I dunno. "...6 to 200 pieces of shot..." That's just seems like a ridiculous estimate. How the heck could it be as low as "6"? Only 6 holes visible?
I felt kinda stupid after you answered my question yesterday, saying that they probably kept count as they removed them. I thought, "Oh, okay, the article did not say they were still embedded." Now I read this today:
"Hospital officials said they were not concerned about the six to 200 other pieces of birdshot that might still be lodged in Whittington's body."
I was just wondering how they can say this. Are there not visible points of entry on the skin? Either six or 200? That's quite a range. I don't know anything about pellets. That's why I'm curious.
