gunshot wound (GSW), penetration of the body by a bullet, commonly marked by a small entrance wound and a larger exit wound. The wound is usually accompanied by damage to blood vessels, bones, and other tissues. There is high risk of infection caused by exposure of the wound to the external environment and debris carried inside the body by the bullet. Additional complications depend on the part of the body wounded. How to thank TFD for its existence?
