My patient was alert and oriented--but he did lose consciousness during the incident. Right now he's doing very well, he is articulate and a good historian.
But as far as the weapon goes--my job was to examine him, not "cross examine him" (ha ha).
Anyway, YES--you're right. The irony was about having someone hired to protect safety end up causing life-threatening wounds. This was allegedly with a weapon that was originally designed to find weapons. So that part is perfectly accurate.
That wasn't a "set up" to make anyone angry or defensive--it was just a commentary on a sad situation.
