How 'Lucky' can one get?

This is a blog about pure luck.

A young lady that I'm aquainted with was shot in her chest on Friday night (13th) with a .38 revolver. The bullet entered her upper chest passed thru her body without touching any organ or artery. She was rushed to hospital and after a checkup was told they were keeping her there for observation. This morning (16th) she was told that she could go home but had to take it easy for the next week. I asked her why would someone want to shoot her as she is a very petite and dainty young girl. She just laughed and said she was at the wrong place at the wrong time...

I did'nt believe her story at first and call a friend working in Admin at that specific hospital to find out if it were true, and yes it was confirmed.

Talk about luck!!doh

Hi Serenity, thats the only conclusion I came up with as well.. Its quite unbelievable.

Hi Dedo, I agree. One gets the impresion while talking with her that there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with her but as we all know her body must absorb that shock. Its amazing.handshake
wow!sad flower glad she is ok
Hi Go Dan, Not really a 'friend' but more an acquaintance. Inclined to agree on the angel part.handshake
yes indeed Luke

in my job , when I was working in the Accident and Emergency dept , on many occasions I would have treated patients who had the most dreadful accidents , eg in car crashes -falling from big heights from buildings or ladders etc , and who literally should not have survived and yet miraculously they did thumbs up

the phrase ,cat and nine lives comes to mind grin
Hi Happy, very very lucky indeed. And that on Friday the 13th...
Serenity yes I have always had the utmost respect for the Medical teams. One can only just imagine what they must go through in terms of personal trauma. bowing
Amazing story Luke.
Perhaps she is an Angel and buy the grace of her presance prevented the bullet from taking another.

I would have that slug made into a dog tag with my name on it so that I would know I carry the bullet with my name on it. angel
thankyou Luke -you're very kind hug

yes there are those who had luck / fate / angels on their side at any given moment -who even after a traumatic accident can come out with barely a scratch or bruise ! it's incredible thumbs up most are not so "lucky "
but I am so glad your friend survived this traumatic event thumbs up
Hi Nons, Good idea about the bullet. You should see this girl, she is about 3'8", very slim and petite. Maybe Il take a pic of her standing next to me one day. Thats if no complications set in.handshake

Hi Francie,, Agree with you 200%... Now I'm locking up and heading home. Have a Good night/day..handshake
Hi Luke on .. Good night from Indonesiawave
Very lucky, a bullet with low terminal ballistics coupled with a projectile path of minimum criticality. Such can happen but it is rare indeed. She is very lucky.
Hope she has a very long life May God bless her
scold Luke: That is great news. That! She is fine. She were bless. thumbs up

What shocks me most about that story is someone working in a hospital broke patient confidentiality.
Kitty handshake thanks for your comment. Sleep well

Glatlol,,,

Mmph, while I have info that China is sending a ship full of loads of weapons this way,
Apparently destined for zimbabwe.
think M. and M. and company are going to put alot more bullets into us soon.
And from the secret military basis after Kuruman in the bushes.
and all the vehicles loades with thousands of weapons,
Unimogs etc. and from all the false arrests to anyone that is intuitive.
I think, we should leave everything, get up and run while we can..(jokes)
