Feasibility Question

[Jas. Cox]

I e-mailed Kevin to see if he had had a chance to do any research for this wound/disease project. He says they are currently in their busy season getting ready for a trade show in March, but he's still very much interested.

For the research for what y'all want, he needs help. I do need someone to help me find the right kinds of wounds and I think it is something we can use in other realms too. So if any of you know where he can locate such visual images, please let me know and I will pass them on to him.

If we can pull this off, I think it will be a very cool and very unique asset to our impressions.

The downside is that you have to have some sort of membership to view them. Guess That's to keep out the morbid curious.

Googling "gun shot wound" on Images will definitely turn up good examples. A lot of them are GSWs from Iraq.

But it looks like it's a free registration. How similar do you think a modern GSW and one from the Civil War would be? You wanted second stage small pox as I read. Well, not WANT, but you know what I mean. Perhaps I will do some web searches and develop some links for him. Thank you for the input.

Oh and Kevin said someone contacted him directly about doing a full body. He contacted him back, but has received no response.

It's an excuse simply to compile pictures of common wounds and illness images - for reference and as a subtle reminder of what the surgeons faced on a day-to-day basis.

What's an excuse?

I found plenty of images for reference for small pox. It's making a comeback as a weapon of war. Trying to find specific images for the following is tough, unless they are on that one website.

Wounds: GSW/VS, pistol and musket calibers. I'm talking the actual small wounds, not those goofy, wide "traced around a quarter" type of GSWs.
Wounds: shrapnel: metal, or wood (spalling from trees, wooden interiors and the like)
Wounds: cut, various incisions/slashes, from oopsies with a pocket knife to saber slashes.
Wounds: wicked abrasions
Wounds: rubber skullcap to simulate a depressed skull fracture.
Wounds: stab, three-sided bayonet
Wounds: stab, flat-bladed
Wounds: first, second, third degree burns.
Wounds: fractures, particularly compound.

May have to end up shooting, stabbing, cutting a pig like they would on Myth Busters.

Cool, thanks. I have sent the info off to Kevin.

This is mostly a bump. However, I did remind Kevin of this project. He responded:

"Just got back from that tradeshow .... We did alot of business. Now we have to fill the orders Hopefully in downtimes we can work on this project."

Basically, sure sales first. So this is where this project currently stands.
