Did you read the posting on Drudge about a medical exam Kerry has had that cat scans and x-rays showed two pieces of metal close to his femur?? One was as big as a bullet and no size was give for the second piece.These have got to be doctored--no pun intended!! I say this as I was a medical corpsman in viet-nam in an infantry unit and treated a lot of shrapnel wounds.A wound with metal the size of a bullet(even a 22 cal.)would be severe enough to evac the soldier to an evac hospital where surgery would be preformed...
