Yeah I wonder why his tongue is still intact.
Nice eye-contact. I wish we had a before pic.

It's more than possible that the gunshot impacted more on the jaw, which kind of softened the blow to the softer tissue. So the tongue might have been effectively pushed up, upon impact.

Looks like his face is having its period...(too soon?) lol

[silentthunder]

If he thought he had problems before.....wow. Now he has to deal with that face. That is going to suck. Can you imagine the rehab?

Its fake.

Boom.

Lawyered.

I've seen a lot of terrible things in ER, never this. Bullet holes, knife wounds, heart attacks I can handle. This would be a bit difficult. I'm just the insurance girl. I'm willing to bet he wouldn't be able to give me his info
