Breast implants saved woman shot in chest

A woman’s life was likely saved by her silicone breast implants after she was shot in the chest at close range while walking down a street in Toronto, doctors have said.

The 30-year-old’s left breast implant deflected the bullet away from her vital organs into the other breast, according to a case study published last week in the SAGE medical journal.

Normally I’m all for a titty shot of a big pair of sweater stretchers but not in this case.

The patient, who was not named, went to the local emergency department in the Canadian city after feeling pain in her chest and seeing blood.

I’d expect getting shot to be more intense than that.

Surgeons found a single entry wound and retrieved a bullet from below her right breast, which police forensics later determined was a copper jacketed 0.40 caliber, the study said.

I guess we can add “won’t penetrate a pair of boobs” to the caliber wars anecdotes against the 40.

They removed her implants and photographs with the study and CT scans show the bullet passed through her left implant and hit her right one.

Typically we call tagging one target behind another as “a Quigley.”

Surgeon Giancarlo McEvenue, who wrote the case study, told CNN the bullet entered the woman’s left side and ricocheted across her sternum into the right breast.

Despite being shot in the chest at close range, the woman escaped relatively unscathed with a fractured rib and damaged implants.

I’ve done ballistics testing.  We used ballistics gel which is gelatin.  We’ve shot through glass, plywood, sheet metal, and everything else the FBI requires.

I’m sort of surprised to see how poorly this bullet did going through a few hundred CCs of silicone.

I wonder if when this was all said and done if she got a new pair of titties, even bigger than before.

You know, for the added protection.
