For those of you familiar with the 'survivorship bias' bomber graphic: there is also a similar diagram for gunshot wounds to the abdomen.
This is from a British surgeon in 1917 (WW1) who notes that those who reached the hospital were more likely to have wounds on the sides.

We will go over some technical pointers about each of these, especially as they pertain to Lembert sutures.

I had a therapist who once told me, “if you don’t schedule a break, your body will take one for you. And it probably won’t be at a convenient time.”
