[QUOTE="doubledoc, post: 2014806, member: 88419"] From the description, I suspect you were cutting the posterior pleura and barely penetrated into the lung, causing only slow pulmonary bleeding, something that is not lethal unless blood accumulates and compresses the lung, or causes a tension pneumothorax (rare with GSWs). I've seen similar wounds in the ER do well by simply draining the hemothorax with the occasional transfusion required. W.Capps, MD [/QUOTE]
