Physicians weigh in on potential impact of Trump’s ear wound: “It’s a matter of inches”
Four days after former president Donald Trump was shot in the ear at a rally in Pennsylvania, his medical team has yet to release detailed records of his condition or treatment. And while his campaign has pronounced him to be in good health, numerous experts on gunshot trauma and emergency medicine interviewed by STAT said there could still be outstanding questions.
All emphasized that they could not comment specifically about Trump’s injury, having not examined him themselves, and added that it did appear that the injury was minor. But they also said that in cases like Trump’s, it would be important to rule out any injury to the brain or neck.
