Hey,
I am writing a scene, where a guy had found himself in the middle of a terrorist attack, and has a tiny piece of metal stuck next to his heart. He will obviously be killed if it invades the heart and the doctors are struggling to remove it, because it's too close to it already.
I was wondering: if the fragment of the bomb did brush his heart with a sharp edge and cut him slightly (as you would say with a penknife or a sheet of paper if you were not careful), would he die right on the spot or would they be able to do something to save his life? I was thinking of maybe 'killing' him for a moment, and then having the doctors 'resuscitate' him somehow...
Would it have any implications on the recovert process and what would be the possible consequences?
I know it sounds really stupid, but I need to finish it quickly for my writing class and they don't exactly teach you about heart surgery in high-school biology classes
I'll be extremely grateful for any and all help DD Please, I really need advice...
