I got shot and the hospital released me the same day?

Aw, jeez.  I hope not.  I don't even want to know how you ended up getting shot.  You probably don't have insurance, either.  Why does someone owe you a living?  Isn't enough they did what they could?

Ooh, you were lucky, but you might want to call a doctor and get a tetanus shot just in case.

You are LUCKY you still alive. You need to seek medical help. If you don't see Dr. your stupidity will kill you.

You must  act and you  must act in time. Unless there is an agreement  between the prosecutor's  and the defence attorney's office that you won't have to show up on that particular day, the police will take you, doesn't matter what. Now, you are an E.R. nurse. Your institution must have a lawyer. You are part of the team. His job is to be there for you. Do not  hesitate to contact him. Don't feel intimidated.  He cannot charge you any fee. Remember?  Your part of the team. And you asking him to speak up for you to post-pone your court appearence for humanitarian reasons.It is in the Criminal Code. Your fighting for your child. Be brave. My very best wishes for your child's speedy recovery and that you can put all the problems behind you.

if you call the local hospital's emergency room there is a nurse on staff that should be able to answer your question correctly and quickly

Sounds like your a harden criminal on the run. Well depending on where the bullet is lodged or if it's a through and through, depends on the first aid. If the bullet is lodged near or around vital organs or vessels then you need to seek medical attention. Probably need to seek attention if there's a lot of bleeding or if you were shot in the stomach or chest area. Now if it's a through and through and you were shot in one of the extremities and then there's not much bleeding then you should be okay. If you're not on the run then I would go to the ER. Oh, that's right forgot to tell you about first aid. Clean the area thoroughly just in case the bullet went through something else first(normally bullets are sterile due to the high temp. when discharged) then bandaged. Change everyday.

I don't know what state you're in, but the hospital that treated your sister for self-inflicted injuries should be de-licensed for blatant incompetence.  Hospitals are required to report any injury that implies a crime (like bullet wounds) or self destructive behavior.  But to answer your question, a psychiatrist would know what options are available in your particular state.  In my state, you could go to the Probate Court, and with sufficient evidence get an incarceration order.  There would be a hearing within 5 days where your sister would be given the chance to show why she should not be subject to involuntary treatment, and for this you would need a lawyer.  But again, a psychiatrist or even a regular M.D. will be able to tell you what to do.  You should not have to handle this alone.  Hope this helps, and good luck!

I was shot in the left bicep with a .223 british military round. What did I think before? Well before it happened I thought, my god I hope I don't get shot, I hope I shoot the other guy first. When it happened it felt like a really big bee stung me on my arm, and then it started to burn really bad. Afterwards I thought, I hope somebody shot that son of a byatch, and somebody had already.

CALL THE HOSPITAL AND SPEAK WITH A NURSE IN THE EMERGENCY ROOM AND ASK PROFESSIONALS OK

I had an open RYN and was out in three days. Most are 4-5 days that I know of depending on how you are. You will have to be up and walking a good bit before they'll let you go home. If you had it laproscopically, you could go home in two days...assuming you are up and walking.

I recently received the shot as well after being punctured through the hand by someone. I had the same pain, like I had been punched very hard. It took about 3 days for the pain to stop. It's normal!

Same thing happened to me. Went to the doctor and they removed a blood clot in one of my hearts ventricles. Get it checked immediately.

Sounds like you need to go in and talk to the hospital billing department.  Take the payment receipt that your insurance company sent to verify payment (all insurance companies do this).  If you have lost it, contact your insurance company and ask for a duplicate copy.

Not sure what was going on in the world on that date because I was in the hospital having surgery.

Go to the emergency room.  By law, they have to see you and treat you.  If it's some type of surgery, etc that you need, they may transfer you to a University hospital.

That is why he sent you home, you may not need the operation at all.  I would go for a second opion though.  I had the same thing happen to me, but I was better in a day or two.  I did not need the operation.  But since you are still in pain go in again. A second opion is always a good thing.  ( if you have insurance to cover it)

The first thing you need to do is call the police. They will need to interview you and to take some evidence and they will make sure you get medical care.  Don't have a shower, or if you have, make sure you keep the clothes you were in.  The police should help you to get in contact with some victim support.  Is there someone close to you who you can tell, like a parent or a good friend?  If you are scared, it can help to have someone like them close by.\n\nNumber one thing to remember - this isn't your fault.  You are going to get through this and a lot of people will be praying for you and wishing you well.
