Just to add to the above post, it was not ME being petty.
YOU are the one that decided to claim he actually had surgery, referring to my post as incomplete.
Perhaps in the future you'll get off your highhorse and your own facts straight before trying to criticize others for things they don't even post.
Your post:
And just to be complete, the surgery he did have was both to remove a fragment of the bullet, AND to explore and categorize the extent of the injuries so the doctor could determine the correct course of treatment. Your statement was incomplete.
Yes, I know what I said, nad it was entirely accurate. He had surgery, and the purpose of the surgery was the two things I mentioned. I’m merely agreeing with your technical point that the tests themselves probably are not “surgical”, or more to the point I don’t care.
The FACT is that the surgery was performed, and the procedure was intended for TWO reasons as specified by the doctor in his testimony.
I don’t know why you want to pretend otherwise, or to argue over this, as I clearly indicated the 2nd purpose was tests, and I clearly clarified that the tests were done during the surgery, and that was all I meant, not that the tests WERE surgery.
And yes, that petty person is you. My post was simply to correct the false impression you left. If you remember, your post was meant to convey that the procedure performed on Davila had nothing to do with his injury, and was ONLY to collect evidence. That was a false impression, as the doctor clearly indicated that the primary purpose included running the tests, a fact you entirely ignored in your post.
In expressing that, I used your term surgery as a general description of the procedure, which I submit is an accurate one as he WAS having surgery, he WAS under anesthesia, and during that surgery the tests were performed.
The salient point being that he needed to have tests to find out how bad his injuries were, and how to correct his injuries, something that the readers would be in the dark about if you had your way.
