Gunshot wound in the stomach
I'm writing a book and I need some information about gunshot wounds. My character was shot in the stomach, intestines or ribs. Would he survive a shot to the ribs? When he goes to a hospital, what happens? How long would he stay there? Would he need an operation? How serious is it? What kind of medication would the doctors have him use? Thank you.
