OK...so that being the case, I hope that the woman shot this afternoon will make it. If she was shot in the lower back, it is possible (hopefully the assailant didn't shoot through her spinal cord or abdominal aorta) that if she got to a hospital within 30 minutes, and they could infuse LR/NS/or plasma fast enough and she's lucky...then she might live. I sure hope so...

Rest assured she was at the hospital within 30 mnutes. The Rescue Squad is less than 1/4 mile from where she was shot and it would be a 10 minute trip by ambulance to the local hospital (Mary Washington). The hospital has just finished an upgrade of their capabilities and they have some pretty sharp ER docs. I know, I have been there after strokes and heart attacks!
