Alex St. Martin
The patient of Dr. William Beaumont who had a hole in his stomach was named Alexis St. Martin. He suffered a gunshot wound that created an opening in his stomach, allowing Beaumont to conduct groundbreaking experiments on digestion and gastric function. This case significantly advanced the understanding of human physiology.
William Beaumont knew a man named Alexis St. Martin that had a hole in his stomach from a gunshot wound that never fully healed. Since the wound never healed you could see the inside of the stomach. So William Beaumont watched the food being digested. And then had a better understanding of how digestion works.HE WAS NOT THE GUY THAT SWALLOWED THE STRING!~
In my textbook it says that Alexis st Martin was his patient, St martin had been shot but the wound never healed and a hole was left. so Beaumont used this to disscover things about the digestive system.
William Beaumont's most famous discovery was made while treating a patient with a gunshot wound to the stomach, which left a hole into the stomach. Beaumont conducted experiments on the digestion process using the hole and observed how food was digested and the effects of various stimuli on digestion. This research led to groundbreaking insights into the digestive system and laid the foundation for modern gastroenterology.
US Army surgeon William Beaumont (1785-1853) was a pioneer in the modern study of human digestion. Much of his work was with fur company employee Alexis St. Martin (1802-1880) who survived a gunshot wound to the stomach and suffered a permanent fistula, or opening, to the exterior of his torso.
Gunshot wound to the head. On a medical chart this would be documented as... pt c/o GSW to head (patient complains of gunshot wound to the head). There would be other terminology to describe it. Where it entered or exited and what other trauma is present...but yeah...just...gunshot wound to the head.
William DeLane Lea died on May 29, 1964, in London, England of self-inflicted gunshot wound.
One of William Beaumont's most notable experiments involved observing the digestive process in a patient named Alexis St. Martin, who had a gunshot wound that left an opening in his stomach. Beaumont conducted a series of experiments to study how food was digested in the human stomach, using various types of food and noting the changes over time. He examined the stomach's contents and the effects of gastric juices, which contributed significantly to the understanding of human digestion. His findings laid the groundwork for future research in gastrointestinal physiology.
Death
If they are normal, they would be the same as if the wound was not there at all. But there is nothing that would be normal with gunshot wound. It would depend on where the wound is and how much blood is lost.
get the shrapnel out- then cure like an ordinary gunshot wound
A "through and through" gunshot wound is where the bullet enters and exits the body, generally without making contact with anything important.
