CELEBRITY Doctor Explains The Devastating Damage Charlie Kirk Suffered After Being Shot In The Neck
\nA medical professional has described the precise events that took place in Charlie Kirk\u2019s body after he was shot in the neck.<\/p>\n
Last week, on September 10, the right-wing influencer and Trump ally was shot in the neck and died at a university function in Utah.<\/p>\n
Since then, graphic video of the horrifying incident has gone viral on social media from a variety of perspectives, including Kirk being shot as he was responding to a question from a student in the crowd.<\/p>\n
As the Turning Point USA co-founder brought his arms up to his neck, which had started to lose a significant amount of blood, the video captured a single shot being fired in his direction.<\/p>\n
Josh Cottle, an anatomy instructor, used Instagram to describe, in scientific and medical words, what would have been going on inside his body.<\/p>\n
The health and science specialist has over 269,000 followers on social media under the handle @scibodytherapy, where he posts informative videos about the human body.<\/p>\n
He illustrated what would happen if a bullet were to pass through the human neck and head in his most recent film.<\/p>\n
According to Cottle, \u201canytime an object moving at super sonic speeds creates a hole in an area where cable management is a top priority, the body reacts particularly badly.\u201d<\/p>\n
He clarified that the shooter might not have been aiming for the neck, but rather for the head or chest, and that he might have had a \u201cbit of drift\u201d or a \u201cbullet drop.\u201d<\/p>\n
The anatomy expert added, \u201cEither way, it went through the neck. And to the people saying if there had been an ambulance on this scene or he had gotten proper medical care, that the outcome would have been different \u2013 that is not the case.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe could have been shot in an emergency room and the outcome would have been the same.\u201d<\/p>\n
He continued by pointing to the diagram and describing how the external and internal jugular veins in the neck return blood from the head to the heart.<\/p>\n
A liter of blood flows through the brain every minute, and the carotid arteries are \u201cone of the four sources of blood that head to the brain.\u201d<\/p>\n
The vertebral artery, meantime, ascends the spine and enters the skull, where it leads to the brain.<\/p>\n
Cottle explained, \u201cOn the left side, you have half of the blood flow to the brain at any given time. This all means that severing these with anything is a big no-no in the user\u2019s manual of the human body.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNow I want you to forget about all that because this would only matter if there had been an arrow or a knife. In this instance we\u2019re dealing with a high speed projectile and that means we need to talk about something called a temporary wound cavity.\u201d<\/p>\n
Before displaying an animation that demonstrated what occurs when a \u201cprojectile contacts a substance like that,\u201d he said that the human body \u201cis mostly water and soft tissue.\u201d<\/p>\n
The anatomy teacher explained, \u201cIt causes basically a ballooning and swelling of the tissue as it moves through it.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSo as that bullet was passing through here it was causing a ballooning and violent expansion of all of this tissue. And that led to a complete obliteration or at least very severe damage to the connection between the spinal chord and the brain.\u201d<\/p>\n
He concluded, \u201cAnd you can see evidence of this very clearly in the video because he enters into something called the decorticate posturing, where your arms involuntarily come up towards your chest.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMany people mistook this for him trying to grab the wound, but you can see shortly after that that he just goes completely limp.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThere were also multiple angles of this and none of them indicated any kind of exit wound, which means all the energy from that projectile likely went directly into the spinal column.\u201d<\/p>\n
