:-(

They are not removing the bullet because it is too close to her spine.

So doctors still do this? Leave the bullet? :crazy:

1. Weird. A chiropractor dislodged a disc INTO my spinal cord... they took it out...
But a bullet being too close and they leave it in?

Must be a harmless bullet.

3. I hope it's harmless
I would want it removed. Think I'd definitely get a second opinion on that one!

4. Guess they think it's too risky...
sounds like something they might do in 1970. I thought medicine had advanced a little more than that by now. :shrug:

5. Not so much for paralysis and spinal injuries.
Cancer and heart procedures they've made great strides.
