I think a better question is what are the chances a 9 year old survives a gunshot to the chest and shot by a trained soldier?

Seriously I didn't believe it when I saw that episode either. I'm sorry I don't actually know the answer but I had to throw that in.

What are the statistical chances that the guy in this X-Ray would survive either? Without knowing exact details of the wound it's hard to say what the chances are. That's why doctors avoid %'s as much as possible. They do it way more on TV than real life.

**I get it though, Ben totally should've died.
