Doyle noted that if the shrapnel had hit Kerry in the eye, it could have blinded him sounds like my Mom

If so, then he should set-off the airport metal detectors.

I like this one:
Kerry's doctor, Gerald Doyle, said he could not characterize the severity of the wounds since he didn't see them, but he noted that Kerry was in danger of serious injury several times.
Ooohhhhh..... So am I, every time I drive a car.

An excerpt from the link:
...Doctors decided to leave the shrapnel in place rather than make a wider opening to remove it. Doctors removed damaged tissue and the entry wound was closed with sutures, and no infection developed around the shrapnel, according to the records.
Doyle, who has treated Kerry since 1986, said Kerry still has the shrapnel in his thigh today, but has never complained about it bothering him.
Does this sound believable?

John Kerry doesn't have a piece of shrapnel in his left thigh, his family does.

A doctor should have removed it.

Kerry spokesman Michael Meehan interrupted Doyle to ask that he only comment on Kerry's medical records in the military, noting that the doctor had already issued a letter outlining Kerry's health during the 18 years that he has treated the senator.Meehan jumping in before the doctor slips and mention's Kerry's cancer surgery...

Also on Friday, Kerry announced a "Contract with America's Middle Class" during a speech to the American Society of Newspaper Editors. Gosh -- the guy who threw somebody else's medals, and now wants to be "the 2nd Black President" announces a re-run of the old Contract With America.....
Come on, pal -- can't you at least once in your life make a political statement with something think up something that actually belongs to you?

It hit his leg not his eye, does this mean Kerry had his head between his legs and just got lucky it didnt hit him in the eye

Two little cuts and one I'll be nice(the thigh wound) and not call a scratch type wound.
I've gotten worse.

An x-ray would also show his head up his rectum.
