Gunshot injuries : how they are inflicted : their complications and treatment . penetrating wounds from the bursting ofone shrapnel. Although the body wounds from shrapnel balls areconsidered uniformly dangerous to life, Makins mentions one case ofremarkable recovery as follows: A Boer wounded at of entry (shrapnel) opposite eighth left costal cartilage, 1inch external to nipple line. The opening was circular and surroundedby an area of ecchymosis 4 inches in diameter; exit 4^ inches above CHARACTERISTIC LESIONS CAUSED BY PROJECTILES 107 and to the right of the umbilicus.
